Dear Melissa, can I have Whole30 desserts made of fruit?
Dear Melissa, do “desserts” made of fruit go against the spirit of the Whole30? Would you say it’s a bad idea to combine fruit and nuts (like a baked apple, raisins, and walnuts drizzled with almond butter) to serve after a meal, like dessert? —EW6508, on the Whole30 Reddit
