praxisproject Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 We're in a huge heatwave here, hottest in years. It's going to be hotter tomorrow and even hotter the day after I have a Zoku maker, is there anything (other than water) that I can make as a popsicle that isn't SWYPO? Plain coconut milk/cream maybe? Add a few slices of fruit? Chicken in bone broth? It's not for a sweet treat, just for the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarrizleP Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What about just popping a banana in the freezer and thn eating once frozen? Would that be whole 30 compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Oh, I was thinking of liquids. I think I have seen a post about frozen banana. Awesome. If a mod sees this, I'd still like to know if any other ingredients would be okay. We've got hot days ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmer Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What about coconut water? I am trying to work out what to do as I am guessing my usual mango and watermelon ice blocks are out. I might also cut up some oranges to freeze and eat some of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm wondering if frozen weak coffee with coconut cream/milk would be okay. I'd rather something without the natural sugars in fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The coffee sounds like the best idea since you can have it hot so cold should be fine. I dont think coconut water is whole30 due to the high sugar? I love frozen blueberries added to coconut milk but it is swypo so I am avoiding for my whole* What about water with some lemon juice and a few sliced strawberries? Might have to make a few icecubes of these since it will be 41 tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleolala Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I hear ya gals! I'm going to be in North East Victoria for the weekend and its expected to hit 45 degrees! What about making some ice cubes with fresh mint? Yum! Or frozen espresso ice blocks with coconut milk? Or I've done coconut milk and bananas in a blender, then frozen them - not sure if that's compliant though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 No blending of fruit, but frozen bananas are okay. I think I'll make weak coffee ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrayS Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Ditto on the frozen grapes, I ate those when it was hot here a few months ago (now it's "winter" here in San Diego...). They really hit the spot when I was roasting to death in my un-airconditioned house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlaccini Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I am late to this party but I remember reading that a frozen banana blended in a blender/food processor was not okay..... It was considered SWYPO. It's the same reason why I cannot make "pancakes" - eggs, mushed banana, cinnamon and a couple of handfuls for frozen blueberries. It reminds us too much of the thing we are trying to substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenderbender Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Actually..... Any food that would act as a physiological or psychological "trigger" needs to be avoided during a Whole30... For some that means fruit of any kind... For others it's nut, nut butters, etc. even if the ingredients are compliant and it hasn't been discussed ad nauseum, ask yourself " is this subbing for a comfort food that I used to run to when stressed/depressed/sad/worried/ happy/glad.... If the answer is yes then even though it is a perfectly allowable food, you owe it to yourself to see if you can manage without it for 30 days and break the unhealthy cycle of eating.... That's the most important goal, or should be.... If its not being used as a dessert,if its not a stand alone snack, and if its not pushing other things you should be eating off you plate.... It's probably ok I don't allow dried fruit of any kind and occasionaly fresh only as a component of a salad( 1/2 sm apple in chicken salad), no nuts and definatly no hazelnut butter.... I just can't do them and I'm much better off for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Well said FB. For example I make the foodee chicken pie on my whole30 because I have never been a regular eater of any pies, ever. The thought of them makes me feel sick. But I use the almondmeal/egg crust to add variety to chicken stew leftovers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 praxisproject (and everyone else who wondered) - If you can eat it, you can freeze it - even in popsicle form. Don't eat it for breakfast, don't eat it as dessert, don't ignore your broccoli, but don't overthink this. Have a popsicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most important goal, or should be.... Fender - You know I respect your opinion, and everything you've contributed here, but I'm going to have to disagree with you a little bit here. Well, not disagree, but... Here's the thing: Most of the folks who are posting in the forum right now are newcomers to the program, and to this lifestyle. We're asking a lot by having them give up the grains and the dairy, but we've given them a long list of things they CAN have. Most of them are not at a place right now to identify, let alone break, some of these food habits. Asking them to tackle all of these things right off the bat is a little much.What they can do, though, is follow the rules. And, by doing that, they will automatically eliminate many of the foods and habits they turned to in their past food life. But taking away every vestige of comfort (when it comes to food) is essentially like stripping a person bare before sending them to run a marathon. It may be more motivation to finish, but they may just give up because of the discomfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Zoku fail, haha, my pops are stuck. I made mine with a whole can of Trident coconut milk and very concentrated cold coffee, I knew I should have used the coconut cream I'll just put the mix in a silicon pan.

glimmer Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Bummer. Coconut water ice-poles worked well and helped me keep a little cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 The Zoku maker requires a certain amount of sugar-ishness to release the pops nicely, but fat helps too. I'll keep experimenting, the mix is reusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
