\"Plantain<\/a><\/p>\n

Two snacks that I’m turning to this round of Whole30 are Plantain Chips and Pork Rinds. \u00a0Mmmmmm Pork.<\/p>\n

The Plantain Chips I get at Trader Joe’s and the only ingredients are plantains and sunflower oil, both are Whole30 compliant. I snack on these chips as a stand alone as well as a side to a dish. \u00a0They are great with salsa and guac but are also awesome to dip in chicken or tuna salad. \u00a0That’s my favorite way to use them!<\/p>\n

The Epic Pork Rinds<\/a> I can get at Whole Foods. \u00a0It doesn’t list the oil used to fry the pork rinds which is odd but Epic is a solid company and I doubt they use something sketchy. The rest of the ingredients in the BBQ flavor are Whole30 compliant. \u00a0These pork rinds are the first ones I’ve found that I can tolerate. \u00a0Other pork rinds taste weird and overly porky to me. \u00a0The Epic ones are just right. \u00a0I can eat a few and it will help curb my hunger till I can eat a meal or bigger snack. \u00a0If you’re concerned about fats, these pork rinds only have 5gs of fat per serving.<\/p>\n

One of the things that we have to keep in mind with “snacks’ on Whole30 is how we handle them. \u00a0They can’t be a replacement for junk and can’t be something that you’re going to mindlessly eat and then wonder how you ate an entire bag.<\/p>\n

The snacks have to be something that you eat mindfully and know when to stop. \u00a0They can’t be food without brakes. \u00a0Part of the Whole30 journey is to start to understand our connection to food, what our triggers are, and how to handle that along with eating more mindfully and intuitively.<\/p>\n

Neither of these two snacks are something that I will just inhale without thinking about it. \u00a0They are just handy little sides to have around for extra crunch.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for some Whole30 friendly snacks, take a look for these two things when you’re out on your next shopping trip.<\/p>\n
