*updated as of 05/01/2017*
I am currently preparing for “round 3” of Whole30.
Does this make me crazy?  …. maybe.  Or maybe just “enthusiastic”?  Well… one or the other!  🙂  Either way, expect a flood of Whole30 themed/inspired blog posts in the near future.  To start, I’m sharing with you post #1 in my “Whole30 Restaurant Guides” series.  
First up:  Chipotle.
from http://www.chipotle.com/ (& not Whole30 approved)
Chipotle has been a savior during my previous two rounds of Whole30, but I’m not sure that I avoided all of the right things.  So, I’ve taken the guesswork out for you guys, and spent a few minutes scouring the Chipotle website for specific ingredients lists & whether they measure up to Whole30 standards.
also from http://www.chipotle.com/ (still not Whole30 approved)
Now, keep in mind, if you’re just aiming to “eat Paleo” on an everyday basis, or are avoiding gluten, soy, etc.~  Chipotle doesn’t have to be so limiting.  But for Whole30 purposes, we must get serious.
I’ve left out the obvious (cheese, corn, beans, rice, tortillas, etc.) & broken down the rest of their more Paleo-friendly ingredients list with those that are approved (“YES”) & not approved (“NO”— with the deal-breaking ingredient).
So, if you’re Whole30-ing, pick your fav’s from the “YES” list, and pile ’em up however you like!  
Hope this is helpful!  & Let me know what restaurant you’d like to see next.  🙂
