EhJay Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I’ve recently come across coffee smoothies that are tagged as Whole30 compliant but I really don’t think they are. Basically you take coffee, ice, banana, nut milk, vanilla and cocoa then blend it together. Would this be an acceptable coffee alternative?

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 5, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2020 This sounds very much like a coffee milkshake type thing which with none of the ingredients being against the rules would likely not serve you well in your program. I'd leave it off and try it as a special occasion item... I wouldn't think of it as a 'coffee alternative' to have every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Also keep in mind that lots of bloggers/websites/etc will tag things as "Whole30" when they have literally no idea what the program entails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 This ^^^ Bloggers, instagrammers etc put "Whole30" in there to get hits, and often the ingredients are compliant (sometimes not) but huge amounts of time they display no knowledge of the actual rules. I read a blog the other day that was 20 breakfast ideas for W30, and 14 of them were SWYPO or didn't fit the template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelmaria33 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Searched for Whole30 recipes on pinterest today and found a whole 30 berry crisp. So sick of this .

But yeah, totally agree with you that it's so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
