    34 of My Favorite Whole30 Recipes

    Are you ready for your January Whole30???

    I remember my first one. It was overwhelming and I was doing it on my own. Jake wasn't completely sold on trying it himself, but was totally supportive of me doing it! <3

    After 7 successful rounds of the Whole30, I still don't declare myself an expert by any means. I learn something new every time! Like the time I ran my first half marathon on the Whole30! I really carbed it up through bananas and lots of nut butters to keep me satisfied and fueled for such a feat. I really learned about the strength I had in myself that time.

    But, I know one thing that has been consistent through all of them. I needed a PLAN. Without one, you are pretty much screwed.

    Do you have your pantry stocked? Here are the MUST HAVES here.

    Have you gone through all of your "If/Then" plans? Like if my coworkers decide to go to happy hour after work then I will have sparkling water with lime or simply say "No thank you.

    Or If you are invited to a Super Bowl party, then you will bring some compliant chili with Whole30 friendly toppings to share and enjoy the party.

    I have come up with more tips here.

    The one thing that always keeps me going is looking forward to my meals and not thinking of "I had to give___" instead I am thinking "I can't wait to have my pan seared salmon with roasted veggies tonight!"

    Fighting food boredom is key to a successful Whole30 and exercise. Have those two in your belt, you're on easy street!

    To help, I made a round up of all of my favorites! In fact, there are 34 of them to choose from! How can you get bored with those choices?!

      Wow! What a list! I love everything you've posted and I can eat it all! I can't do Whole 30 because I'm allergic to so many things, but your entire list gives me Whole 30 hope!

      I'm hearing a lot about Whole 30, but I don't know what the plan entails -- although it looks to be more inclusive than Phase I of the South Beach Diet or going Paleo -- I see potatoes in these recipes! Yum!

        Thank you Lisa! Basically it is an elimination reset. It's used to help identify which food may be causing bloating, inflammation, allergies, heartburn,etc. but usuallybthe side effect is weightloss but it's not the goal of the Whole30. The goal is find a healthy balance with food and it's a very strict Paleo lifestyle 😊
