Whole 30No Added Sugar
With the New Year just a few days away (!!) you might be planning to reset with 30 days of – you guessed it – Whole30!
We will actually be right there with you over at my house – Adam has decided to move up his yearly Whole30 for 2017 from February to January to get a clean start to the year. Â Possibly a few too many treats in November/December for our family. Â Of course now I have to follow along – I’m the one who does the cooking anyway, plus, there’s that nagging competitive side of me..
In perfect timing, Amy from Wholesomelicious, Jessica from Jay’s Baking Me Crazy and I are sharing our most popular, tried and true Whole30 recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to make this one a successful month for all of us!
*To set you up for success, be sure to have basic pantry items you will be using throughout the 30 days! Definitely check out my Pantry Staples and Kitchen Essentials pages for ideas.
Also, keep munchies such as fresh veggies, fruits, nuts, for those many times you will be hungry (trust me!) Always keep on hand to help with snacking:
Cashew Protein Bars
Tahini Dressing (can be used to dip veggies or for salads)
Creamy Avocado Dressing (can be used for salads or a dip)
30 Days of Whole30 – The plan!
Below you will find links to all recipes that are tried and true reader favorites and Whole30 approved. The breakfasts are just a few ideas to use throughout the week; some are more time consuming, but are great treats for the weekend. Others can be made ahead and refrigerated as “grab and go” breakfasts when you have a busy morning.
Instead of being listed by day, they are lumped together for the week. Dinners and lunches are specific to the day. Some dinners will have plenty of leftovers for another night or lunch. Some lunches can also be made ahead on the weekends for easy planning. All meals with a *** means you can make them ahead on the weekends to use throughout the week!
