Whole30 Summer Shrimp Salad + Zesty Chipotle Dressing

August has arrived and that means my Whole30 has officially begun. And so far? It’s the easiest Whole30 to date. Granted it’s been just 4 days, but turning down pizza, beer, wine, gourmet marshmallows and several other treats hasn’t been all that hard. I think at this point I eat healthy enough most of the time that it’s not a huge deal. I do still have things like pizza and cocktails but I don’t need them the way I used to. I also think that Whole30s today are much easier than when I did my first Whole30 because there are so many more complaint Whole30 options available at the grocery store. Like, New Barn Organic Unsweetened Almondmilk.

Yes, you can perhaps make your almond milk at home but quite frankly who has time for that? Especially when I’m on a Whole30 and prepping everything else in sight. Something I’m passionate about is consumer package foods that make our life easier while upholding high nutritional standards. And New Barn obviously falls into that category.

Lucky for us, New Barn’s Unsweetened variety is Whole30 compliant and I use it ALL.THE.TIME. Even when I’m not on a Whole30, but especially when I’m on a Whole30. New Barn’s Almondmilk is the quintessential real deal almond milk and the taste and texture come from actual almonds, not loads of additives and gums. With 3 times the amount of almonds than traditional almond milks, you can see why. Not only are their milks organic, Whole30 compliant but they’re Non-GMO, Kosher and Vegan. Talk about the great unifier!
