They test every single fish for mercury.
I'm wondering though if they test the fish for mercury in retrograde?
Messes me up real good.
Hey guys, I'm Megan Mitchell, and I'm here in the Thrive Market Test Kitchen,
and I'm about to start Whole30. I'm nervous, I'm excited.
I cook at home; I'm a chef - I have a lot of ingredients in my pantry.
But when I read the labels I found out not a lot of them are Whole30-compliant.
So these are some of my Thrive Market pantry staples that are Whole30-compliant.
You can find them at thrivemarket.com
They've thought of it all they have a Whole30 tab. You can click on it,
and I'm going to show you how to make a pantry tuna salad using canned tuna and this avocado mayo.
Also what's Thrive Market? It's an online market that sells everything in front of me.
Everything from sauces and oils, to cleaning supplies, wine, meat, seafood.
It's a one-stop shop I want to go to one
place and I want to buy it all and also you can only find these
Thrive Market products on thrivemarket.com
Let's start with the extra-virgin olive oil
I'm a big fan of Thrive Markets Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
This is for finishing, dressing, sauces, a drizzle over your tomatoes or your veggies at the end, or your salad.
And then also I have avocado oil; these are both not processed, which is really nice.
A bit of a different flavor; this is very fruity it, it can be a little bitter but fruity.
This is more neutral so if you're looking for something that's not going to add much flavor
to your dish , and high heat - you'll want to go with avocado oil.
My favorite thing on Whole30; which I use in a lot a lot of dishes, is coconut aminos.
You can't have gluten or soy, so this is a really great alternative to add that umami flavor.
and then Thrive Market also makes a lot of Whole30 compliant pasta sauces
to put over zoodles or a spaghetti squash.
This Yai's Thai curry sauce is great when I don't want to think about cooking.
I cook all day long on set and I test recipes constantly;
and sometimes I don't want to think about cooking
So this is great just to pour into a pot with some chicken, and it's a one pan meal.
This is gonna save me during my Whole30.
Help me.
Avocado mayo; I'm gonna use this today in my tuna salad.
I'm gonna make a tuna salad for you, a Whole30 tuna salad.
This is great mayo; you have to be careful
sometimes they add sugar to mayo - so read the labels. This one Whole30.
Tessemaes - another great Whole30 compliant brand.
Ketchup, my husband loves ketchup
and I love wing sauce, and this is Whole30.
I pour it into a pot with some chicken; this is really really great.
Nut pods, this is an almond coconut creamer - no sugar.
Packing snacks on the go - making sure you have something to eat, is very important on Whole30.
I don't want to go hungry; I don't want to be racing around with
nothing to eat and super bummed, and then starving. So turkey sticks by Thrive Market.
No weird binders, no weird things in it. I can literally pronounce everything in it.
There's no sugar. I can pop these turkey sticks in my bag, on the go,
when I'm hungry, and they're super portable. They're individually wrapped
They're great.
Going to be living off almonds. You can do salted almonds. You can do cashews...
You can do all nuts except for peanuts, correctamundo?
I'm starting off, I still need to ask questions.
I'm also gonna be googling stuff a lot... is this whole30-compliant?
We'll get through this together we'll figure it out. I'm here for you.
Another great Whole30 staple, almond butter.
This one's creamy, they also have crunchy.
Literally just almonds in here. Yup!
Nothing else. No sweetener, nothing weird. Just almonds. Great boost of protein.
Canned tuna great to keep in your pantry when you need something quick,
a quick lunch or quick dinner on the go. These are great to have on hand.
Thrive Market Organic Ghee. Their ghee is one of my favorite ghees.
This one's unsalted, but they have salted ones. You can scramble
eggs in it; you could add it to veggies. You can't have butter on Whole30 because
the dairy, but you can have ghee.
and also this is gonna get me through my morning
coffee. I can't drink coffee black, I'm gonna use these nut pods when I can but
I like to make buttered coffee, and I add this and some coconut oil and collagen
and I make my buttered coffee. So this is gonna be -
you're gonna help me out a lot through Whole30.
Let's get down to business.
Whole30-compliant tuna salad, and it's all pantry ingredients.
Don't look at that - what goes in it is all pantry ingredients.
I have two cans of this Safe Catch wild tuna.
I drained them and I put them in a bowl. I want to break up the
tuna a smidge. Just a little bit with my fork.
That honestly is some of my best work.
Culinary school right here folks. Knife skills what? What about your fork skills.
I'm adding Primal Kitchen Green Goddess dressing; it's a dressing and a marinade.
It's made with avocado oil; has a lot of good flavors, spices, seasonings.
Give it a little shake. I need a couple tablespoons of this
and this is Whole30 compliant y'alls.
Stir this up!
You could eat it just like this if you don't want to add mayo.
But I thought it needed a little, a little creaminess so I'm using Primal Kitchen again.
Their avocado mayo.
Just a scoop or two; tablespoon or two.
Freshly cracked black pepper. I don't need to add any
salt because this already has salt in it.
Thrive Market kalamata olives; these are pitted and halved for me.
Did you do this for me? Thanks!
They usually come in liquid, and they're not halved so beautifully but I'm in a test kitchen,
and I asked for these things and if they don't happen...you know what I mean?
That's right!
So I need about 1/4 of a cup.
If you don't like olives you could add capers.
You could add green olives just make sure they're Whole30-compliant.
Mix it up, and that's it. That's how easy it is to make this
pantry tuna salad.
In under what? 3 minutes you have lunch ready to go.
If you want to leave the pantry and go to your fridge, and you have these on hand, great.
But if you don't, you do not need to add these. You could add chopped green onions,
you could add chopped dill. I have some parsley - I'm gonna add a little bit but
this is not necessary.
You could add lemon juice as well.
I have this cute little setup since I'm doing Whole30;
maybe I would have eaten this on a sandwich - not this month.
Cucumber slices, baby red bell peppers that I halved, and
then some Bibb lettuce. You could do this on a salad, you could put it in lettuce
cups, however you want to eat it. You just want you want those veggies.
That's it.
That's my pantry tuna salad. I'm gonna make it a little cup, show you how I like to do it.
And this is obviously more than one serving, but when I make tuna salad
I want to make it for a couple days. So I'll make this, I'll have it in my fridge
I know I have lunch or snacks or dinner for a couple days,
and I don't have to think about it.
Okay give this a try. I'm gonna have parsley up in my grill, but that's okay.
Mmm it's delicious - it's light, it's creamy.
I like the tang and the salty bite from the olives. Like I said this came
together in under three minutes it's gonna be one of my go-to Whole30
dishes that's gonna get me through this month and I hope it gets you through the month.
Let me know if you make it! Please like, subscribe, comment! You can find all
the products that I used at thrivemarket.com/prepschool
Happy Whole30
We're going to do this together.
No paparazzi.
I don't want to talk with food in my mouth, that's my dad's biggest pet peeve.
He would watch cooking shows and he's like "can't she finish eating before she talks?"
