Whole 30 Essentials

I am currently on Day 25 of my second round of Whole 30.  I'm feeling so fantastic, I plan on extending the Whole 30 lifestyle beyond the 30 days.  I've finally embraced the realization that the food I put in my mouth has a huge affect on the way I feel mentally and physically.  It's really going to need to be worth it for me to give up this feeling!  Mindlessly munching on a bag of chips at the end of the day...not worth it.  A key lime cupcake to celebrate my birthday...worth it!

Even though the Whole 30 consists of eating super clean food, it doesn't have to be boring or bland. Through trial and error I've found a few products that are essential for a successful Whole 30 experience.  Let's get to the details...

Flavor God Seasoning - These Paleo seasonings are GMO and MSG free.  They have a wide range of flavors.  I use them to season vegetables and meat.  I can't wait to try the Buffalo seasoning!

Tessemae's Dressing - All natural and certified organic dressings and marinades.  I use them for salad dressing and chicken marinades.  They offer great flavor without all the additives.  Check the ingredients!  Not all flavors are Whole 30 compliant!

Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise - Even during a Whole 30 a girl still needs to be able to have some tuna salad!  This mayo makes it compliant and delicious.  Avacado oil based mayonnaise made from cage-free eggs, and no sugar added in original and chipotle flavor.

Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos Seasoning Sauce - This sauce will replace soy sauce and you won't even know the difference; except you won't feel bloated after you eat it!  I use coconut aminos to flavor stir fry or meat for lettuce wraps.  The sauce is 100% organic.  Gluten, soy, MSG and GMO free.

RX Bars - These bars save me when I'm traveling!  Simple and delicious without compromising nutrition.  All flavors are not Whole 30 compliant.  The website has a Whole 30 pack that will give you an assortment of flavors.

LaCroix Water - What do I drink when everyone else is having a cocktail?  LaCroix with lime in a wine glass of course.  Sparkling water.  Zero calorie.  Zero sweetener.  Zero sodium.  So many flavors to choose from!
