“Do not consume baked goods, junk foods, or treats with “approved” ingredients.”
Some of these look like great recipes but the rest look like attempts at recreating “junk foods” which is not in spirit with the Whole30 diet.
Hi Alan – I’m curious which recipes you consider SWYPO – I agree that the sweet potato crackers are more of a food-freedom (post 30 days) food, but the others are all totally compliant. Sweet potato chips and fries are fine as long as they are made at home and not purchased.
