Today was a productive day. · the only calcium-fortified milk i could find that didnt have carrageenan is silks cashew milk, but it has sunflower lecithin. But, i am willing to rise to the challenge. My luck it will be deemed non-compliant and i will feel like this time was completely useless. · i was easily able to buy freshly made almond milk that had no carrageenan , sugar or anything nasty, find nuts without sulfites and takeout food that fit the guidelines. · for example, soy and carrageenan which are sometimes lurking in personal care products. · i just got a package (now without carrageenan !) so im making a bahn mi salad of them for tomorrow: I do have good news to report though. · this means 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies, and 1-2 servings of added fat. Ive personally never found an almond milk in the store that didnt have this additive and usually just make my own when i want it. I made nom noms sweet potato hash with fried eggs and it was delicious. With a little drizzle of mayo/sriracha/red boat fish sauce (note: Its the coconut milk that seems to have carrageenan in it with every brand. They must have changed their formula recently because i stopped buying this brand because of carrageenan. · i just found out rotisserie chicken has carrageenan in it. Typical sriracha isnt w30, but since i made this without sugar. · in fact, most of the almond milk ive found doesnt have carrageenan in it, but a lot do have sugar. Im not going to cancel a whole30 because of it, but thought id put the word out - i bought a rotisserie chicken from costco yesterday. Also make sure that your almond milk doesnt contain carrageenan either. Shredded carrot, daikon radish, roasted chicken thigh, cilantro, sauteed shitake mushrooms, basil, kelp noodles. Thats why i switched to almond milk. Went for my 12-week post-op visit, and all restrictions are lifted!
