What's your whole 30 "must have"?

[blanca]

For those of you have done whole30, what products or foods helped you make it through.

For me it was homemade butternut squash soup. I would eat a bowl if I was craving "comfort food".

I also would eat an apple with almond butter occasionally if I felt like "a treat"

Spaghetti squash. I would keep it on hands to eat with compliant meat sauce.

Ground meat. It's just so easy to put ground meat, seasonings, and veggies in a pan and make a delicious meal. It's really hard to mess it up.

Homemade mayo. With that I can make tuna/chicken/egg salad, Cajun mayo dip for my sweet potatoes, ranch dip for veggies, etc...

Eggs!

Homemade mayo. You can make so many amazing things with homemade mayo. And that creamy texture is very 'comfort food' for me.

Raw almonds with baby carrots. It satisfied my sweet cravings and the fatty nuts kept me satisfied.

Also raw veggies in the fridge for mindless snacking.

Sweet potatoes. It added a heartiness to have fries with my meal and made me feel full!

2 tsps salt, 2 tsps garlic powder, 2 1/2 tsps paprika, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tap cayenne, 1 1/4 tsp oregano, 1 1/4 tsp thyme, and 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes. Mix it all together and then add how ever much to mayo. If I was going to make a whole jar of Cajun dip then I put the whole mixture in but usually I'm just making a little so mix it to taste. It is so freaking good with baked sweet potato spears. It's almost SWYPO,

Actually, I should amend my recipe- that's the recipe I got off a paleo website but I don't actually use thatch salt- it's too salty for my taste with that much so I just eyeball it.

Cashews & olives. These are my biggest snack items. I like salty snacks.

I also eat a ton of sausage.

I need to try homemade mayo. I'm kinda nervous to try and make it. Sounds like it has to be done just right.

Blisoff- get an immersion blender to make mayo. I got one for $25. I just throw my egg, vinegar, salt/pepper, and oil in and poof! Perfect mayo every time!

I use my spiralizer to make zucchini "pasta". I eat it with ground meat and tomato sauce probably twice a week. It's so satisfying and tasty.

Also, hardboiled eggs.
