nunezillasbride Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I made a beautiful prime rib roast for my husband for his birthday tonight & then made gravy from the drippings using coconut flour. We both finished our Whole30 & are currently riding 2 wheelers, but sticking mainly to the W30 philosophy. So I mainly want to clarify: If while doing a strict whole 30, would it be allowed since the flour was used as a thickening agent or is it just too far off from the point of clean eating....? Thanks! Edit: I also used beef broth in the gravy, and served it with spinach, mushrooms & mashed cauliflower ( and then put gravy on top of those too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 7, 2012 In my opinion, using coconut flour to make gravy during a Whole30 would be fine, but making coconut flour pancakes would not. Gravy is not a high profile grain-based food that Whole30ers need to achieve some distance from, but pancakes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Strathdee Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think I would die if gravy wasn't W30 approved. I'm pretty sure that half my blood volume is made from dark brown gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prchrmom Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I make really good, flour-free gravy by simply pureeing the veg I cook with the roast, then adding enough of the meat stock to thin it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
