Day 28: Reintroduction resources and Curry Chicken Wraps

Hi everyone!

Are you wrapping up the Whole30 this week?  I just watched a Periscope video from Melissa Hartwig on the @Whole30 channel about the reintroduction.  I invite you to watch but here are some highlights.  There are two ways to reintroduce (and more great information on the Whole30 blog): 

• Fast track - 10 days of reintroducing non whole 30 foods one at a time from least to most problematic.  

• Slow track - Eating Whole30-ish until something comes along my plate that I don't want to say no to, I will introduce that food.  Relax on the no sugar added rule just to make your life a little bit easier.  

Take a look at the resources I've listed above and let me know if you have questions!

I can't get enough of @kristenwhole30 and her delicious recipes. Here's a great one for lunch. 
Curry Chicken Salad w/ Butter Lettuce

• 4 Tbsp cashew curry-lime sauce-recipe (see below) 
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cashew Curry-Lime sauce
Ingredients

• 1 tsp yellow curry powder
• 1 tsp red curry powder 
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander 
• 1/2 Cup raw cashews 
• 1/2 Cup hot water 
• Juice 1/2 small lime
• 1 tsp olive oil 
• 1/4 Cup chopped yellow onion 
• 2 cloves garlic, rough chopped

Directions

• Combine spices, set aside. Soak cashews in hot water (I soak mine right in the blender. Soak anywhere from 10-20 mins while your prepping the other ingredients) 
• On medium heat, sautée onion in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and spices to pan. This will draw out the flavours of the spices. Cook until Fragrant-about 30 seconds. 
• Add mixture plus lime juice to cashews and hot water. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
