kela1092 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Ok SOooooo.... It's day 2 and unlike Day one I actually had breakfast butttt this is my concern. Since I do not eat eggs, or avocado, or sweet potatoes, or mostly anything on the breakfast lists I opted for a smoothie. Seeing how I can not have dairy I added fruit juice to my smoothie but even though we are allowed to drink fruit juice I don't see how since it has added sugar. So ARE WE OR ARE WE NOT ALLOWED to have fruit juice????? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Nope. Sorry. No drinking fruit juice. It's fine for adding to sauces/dishes for cooking, but not for drinking. Smoothies are very much discouraged too.Here's the official take on smoothies: Smoothies: We’d rather you didn’t This is a very popular question, with a very unpopular answer. Smoothies (generally made using lots of fruit) are technically compliant on your Whole30, but we strongly recommend against it. Food that you drink sends different satiety signals to your brain than food that you chew. So when you drink your meal, your brain isn’t getting the feedback it needs to tell your body that it’s had enough of what it needs. Plus, smoothies are generally really fruit-heavy, and starting your day off with a liquid sugar-bomb sets you up for cravings, hunger, and volatile energy levels throughout the day. In summary, we’d rather you just eat the food, and skip the smoothie. Your best bet is to try & get out of the traditional breakfast mind set, and learn that anything you'd eat at any other time of day can be eaten in the morning too.

Real Food Y'all Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 A lot of people find it helps to stop thinking of breakfast as "breakfast" and instead think of your meals as meal 1, meal 2, and meal 3. This changes their breakfast mindset so they no longer feel obligated to eat what we traditionally think of as "breakfast food". You can eat anything for breakfast that you would eat for lunch or dinner! (I've been eating pureed veggie soup all week, with eggs or other protein.) It takes some getting used to, but it works for a lot of people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
