Nom Nom Paleo Takes Over Whole Foods: Elevating Your Healthy Lifestyle
After an exhilarating five-week journey crisscrossing the continent for the launch of our latest cookbook, Ready or Not!, I’ve been profoundly touched by the incredible support and enthusiasm from all the Nomsters. Connecting with so many of you, hearing your heartwarming kitchen triumphs, and sharing countless hugs has been an unexpected joy for this self-proclaimed introvert. While the tour has been an unforgettable experience, one thing I’ve yearned to see firsthand is the spectacular outcome of our enhanced partnership with Whole Foods Market in Northern California and Reno.
For years, Nom Nom Paleo has proudly collaborated with the wonderful team at Whole Foods to simplify Paleo shopping, cooking, and eating. My previous ventures involved curating favorite products and even working with their talented chefs to craft delicious Paleo-friendly hot bar items. However, this time, we decided to elevate the partnership to an entirely new level, bringing an unprecedented array of convenience and flavor directly to your local store. Get ready to transform your grocery runs and daily meals!
Introducing Nom Nom Paleo’s Exclusive Magic Mushroom Powder!
I’ve been approached countless times by various companies eager to develop Nom Nom Paleo branded products, ranging from sauces to cookware. Yet, until now, I’ve always held back. My decision to finally pull the trigger with this particular product stems from a deep trust in Whole Foods Market’s unwavering commitment to ingredient sourcing and my own notoriously high standards for the final taste and quality. And I must say, their rendition of our beloved Magic Mushroom Powder is absolutely spot-on.
Whole Foods has impeccably translated my original recipe for this umami-packed seasoning salt, capturing every nuance and depth of flavor. This means you can now skip the DIY process and easily pick up this culinary game-changer in adorable, convenient tins. It’s available starting TODAY, so don’t miss your chance to add this pantry essential to your cooking arsenal!
For those unfamiliar with this extraordinary salt blend, prepare to have your culinary world transformed. As The Oregonian aptly put it, this ingredient led their staff to “rethink everything we’ve been doing in the kitchen…. It’s a spice blend with a psychedelic-sounding name, and while it has no hallucinogenic powers, it truly is magic, adding much-desired umami to everything it touches.” Imagine instantly elevating any dish with a rich, savory depth that tantalizes the taste buds. Magic Mushroom Powder can seamlessly replace regular salt in virtually any recipe, injecting an immediate flavor punch into everything from fluffy scrambled eggs and hearty ground meat to perfectly roasted vegetables and crispy chicken wings. Its versatility makes it a must-have for both seasoned chefs and novice cooks looking to add gourmet flavor with minimal effort. And of course, if you’re not in Northern California or Reno, you can always still make your own at home!
Nom Nom Paleo Shortcuts to Deliciousness: Effortless Healthy Meals!
This revolutionary partnership with Whole Foods extends far beyond a single product. This time, our collaboration permeates various departments throughout each store, empowering me to offer even more innovative shortcuts to home cooks—even those who find themselves completely unprepared for dinner after a long day. We understand that life gets busy, and healthy eating shouldn’t be a chore. These new offerings are designed to streamline your meal preparation, making it easier than ever to enjoy nourishing and delicious Paleo-friendly dishes without sacrificing precious time.
Curious about what these game-changing shortcuts entail? Take a quick look:
Did you catch all that? In the vibrant produce aisle, you’ll discover a fantastic selection of pre-cut and spiralized vegetables, eliminating the need for tedious chopping and slicing. Imagine quickly whipping up zucchini noodles for a pasta alternative or roasting perfectly diced butternut squash without the fuss. But the convenience doesn’t stop there!
Head over to the butcher counter, and you can now pick up high-quality boneless, skin-on chicken thighs. These are absolutely ideal for creating the ever-delicious and crispy Ollie’s Cracklin’ Chicken, a fan favorite that brings incredible flavor and texture to your plate. No more butchering or intricate prep work – just grab and cook!
Also a highlight at the butcher counter are the new pre-formed Big-O Bacon Burger patties! Crafted with a delectable blend of ground beef, savory bacon, and perfectly sautéed mushrooms, these patties are a true convenience. While you can always follow the original recipe found in our first cookbook, on this blog, and on our app, those of you in Northern California or Reno can now take full advantage of this incredible shortcut. As an added bonus, the Big-O Bacon Burger patties at Whole Foods feature Whole30-friendly, sugar-free bacon, ensuring they align with your dietary goals. And don’t forget to grab some large portobello mushrooms to roast and use as delicious, grain-free buns!

Discover Even More Savings: Lower Prices at Whole Foods Market!
While this particular development isn’t directly related to Nom Nom Paleo, it’s an incredibly significant and beneficial update for all shoppers.

I, for one, have been enthusiastically stocking up on avocados like crazy, taking full advantage of the newfound affordability of these healthy fats.
This welcome change is not limited to specific regions; these price cuts are being implemented across all Whole Foods Markets everywhere, making healthy and high-quality groceries more accessible than ever before.
