Rebecca Troelstra Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Got some kale chips and one of the ingredients is coconut sap - is that allowed? They are from Solar Raw Food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Troelstra Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 But coconut sap is is coconut aminos and that is mentioned as being ok. That is where I"m confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 They may come from the same plant but they're processed differently and the end result is 2 different products. One is sweet and one is umami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Troelstra Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks for the advice! Oh well... back in the pantry they go for another 23 days (I'm seven days in). Just trying to find some good snacks for a long flight day I have tomorrow. Already have nuts and apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Olives, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs was my last airline snack combo. It's good that you're looking to go beyond just fruit+nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The sap is essentially sugar distilled from the tree. Coconut aminos are fermented, rather than concentrated sugar. Do read your labels carefully though, where I live there is a brand of coconut aminos which is not compliant and about 75% sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Troelstra Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 If it's ferment coconut sap it's good, right? In coconut aminos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2017 Yes, fermented coconut sap in coconut aminos is okay, because it's fermented. I don't fly much, but liquid is usually limited in carry-ons. You might need to drain the liquid off the olives, or read up on how much liquid you're allowed. I have seen olives in snack-size foil pouches at the store, that might work better. Google Whole30 travel or Whole30 flying for past discussions on what people have taken with them. You might look for jerky or Epic bars or something like that for protein, or look into whether you can take something like hard boiled eggs or even just cooked chicken or something with you.

slc_melissa Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I traveled with some olives in the un opened can still. The TSA did a full search of my bag but eventually let it through. No guarantees. I would also say, if you're going to be eating on the plane itself vs in the airport during a lay over, try to be mindful of the other passengers- things like pouched tuna and sometimes eggs can be pretty fragrant.

laura_juggles Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Unless we're talking about a significant overseas flight, you can plan to eat before you get on the plane. Then, if you've had a good meal before a 4 hour flight, you shouldn't need a snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2017 Sorry, even the kale chips are not allowed. No commercially prepared chips of any sort. Make whatever you want at home, but bags of chips, even kale chips, are not approved during your Whole30. We want you eating whole foods you mostly prepare yourself. Buying bags of stuff just promotes munching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpearce519 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Can I ask where in the grocery store do you find Coconut Aminos? in the same aisle as Coconut Milk or oil?? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Troelstra Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 I found it near the soy sauce / Asian ingredients. It wasn't called Coconut Aminos, though. It was something like "fermented coconut" (sorry, don't have it on me right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
