Healthy Substitutes for Carbs, Snacks & Sauces

1 Tortilla = 0.5 protein serving

Mama Lupe Low Carb Tortillas (the tastiest IMO)

Julian Bakery, Organic Paleo Wraps (available for worldwide shipping)

La Tortilla Factory Tortilla 

Regarding Bread:

The problem: bread cannot ship worldwide. It gets mold. It has to be sold from a local store. Send me an email if you’re interested with your country. Per requests, I’ll upload list of countries with sellers.
In the meantime, enjoy the Tortilla and homemade bread recipes from almond butter or tahini.

Don’t expect these to taste or have texture exactly like pasta. View them as platform to add sauces and condiments, fish, etc.

Sea Tangle Noodle Company, Konaberry Noodles (My Favorite between them. Baking soda soaking and shortly improved taste and the texture drastically)
Miracle Noodle, Spinach, Shirataki Pasta
Miracle Noodle, Organic Spaghetti
Miracle Noodle, Fettuccine Style
Miracle Noodle, Angel Hair Style

Roasted Almonds with a Twist

Organic Pecans (you can buy regular pecans, too, if it’s expensive)

Salted & Roasted Macadamia

Roasted Macadamia nuts with a twist 

Approved Unsweetened Coconut Chips – Fresh
Snack fresh or fry on low heat for 3 minutes and add salt/condiments. Can be side dish, too.

Approved Coconut Chips Toasted  Feel free to salt at home

I chose glass containers. It prevents oxidation of the fat. The butter doesn’t have to be organic.

Organics Raw Almond Butter 

Almond Butter, Creamy Good for baking almond bread. Different brands will give you different taste.

Organic Hazelnut Butter  

Macadamia Butter

It requires some heating before use. The texture otherwise is hard.

Organic Coconut Butter

Organic Creamed Coconut 

These sauces great replacements all year. They will help you will lifestyle design. You can also make them at home from the recipes.

Approved Organic Mayonnaise

Approved Organic Mayonnaise with Spiciness

•  Approved Organic Mustard 

•  Caesar Dressing & Marinade

• Ranch Dressing & Marinade 

•  Organic Tahini Paste (if expensive, buy non-organic). In raw form, it’s good for baking. For sauce, prepared  shortly with water. See recipes.

• Pesto Sauce – First, remember it’s 10-15 minutes to make at home. Search online for pesto with olive oil (and no other oils), and no sugar or carbs (e.g. potato flakes) on the label. Like these:
1)  Seggiano, Fresh Basil Pesto

2) Pesto Mayo with Avocado Oil

• Apple Cider Vinegar

• Tamari Sauce. It replaces soy sauce and Asian sauces.

Organic teas and coffee are worth the investment. It’s because farmers grow them in semi-regulated countries and put a lot of pesticide spray. If too expensive, buy non-organic. Organic green tea is the healthiest drink we have.

•  Organic Decaf Coffee – Instant Coffee

Organic Decaf Coffee – Ground Coffee 

Organic Green Tea – Bags

Organic Green Tea –  Leaves

Add to the coffee or tea for focus and concentration
•  MCT Oil – to sprinkle on top of your coffee/tea for energy and focus. See instructions on this episode

All these fish are canned and healthy for the challenge. Each can equals one protein serving.

Whole fish, with skin and bones is healthier. And it has less protein, which is good.

•  Wild-Caught Salmon

Brisling Sardines in Olive Oil– Whole. The healthiest sardines I’ve found.

Brisling Sardines in Spring Water – Whole. The healthiest sardines I’ve found.
