Beckster555 0 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 What is butternut pasta? Why is Abbot’s fake meat products included in the plant based whole 30? I can’t use recipes I don’t understand or think don’t follow the actual rules for a true whole 30 experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators ShannonM816 5621 Posted February 26 Moderators Share Posted February 26 The only "pasta" that is allowed on either the original or the plant-based Whole30 would be vegetables cut into pasta-like shapes. So, butternut squash cut into "noodles" using a spiralizer or mandolin. I'm not sure exactly what recipe you're talking about but if it involved pasta made from a mix of vegetables and some type of flour to form noodles, it is not compatible with Whole30. Plant-based Whole30 contains protein sources that are not allowed on the original Whole30, like soy and other legumes, because people who choose not to eat any animal-based items would not have enough protein options without those options. The original Whole30 still exists, and if you eat animal-based protein you can still do the original version. The plant-based Whole30 is a completely different program. The Abbot's Butcher products that are allowed on the plant-based Whole30 meet the rules like no carrageenan and no gluten. Many of the meat substitute options available from other brands -- and even one of this brand's products -- do not meet these standards. These products give plant-based Whole30ers another option for a protein source. No one has to use them, even while doing a plant-based Whole30, it is just another option to make meal prep and planning a little easier. Anberel and simmie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
