Menu Plan Monday: Whole30 Week 4 {Where I Buy These Crazy Ingredients}

We’re on Day 23 of our Whole30 adventure. I’ve been doing some hunting online and have found some great sources for Whole30 (and whole food) ingredients. I thought I’d share a few of those with you this week.

Online Resources

Amazon :: One of my favorite sources for hard-to-find-locally ingredients is Amazon.

• Organic Coconut Flour :: Coconut flour is full of protein and fiber, and it’s naturally sweet.
• Almond Meal/Flour :: This is SOOOO much cheaper than buying it at my local grocery store.
• Organic Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil :: This is a MUST-HAVE for cooking.
• Organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil :: You get all the benefits of coconut oil without the coconut taste. (Win!)

Vitacost :: If you’ve never shopped at Vitacost before, be sure to check them out too. They carry all kinds of coconut oil, different flours, coconut milk, and all the Larabar flavors you could want. 😉

Plus, if you’re new to Vitacost, you can sign up here for a $10 off $30 purchase coupon code. And you get free shipping on orders of $49 or more. Their prices are already amazing. These coupons & shipping deals just make them even better.

Menu Planning
