16 Delicious + Easy Whole30-Approved Snacks + Recipes
Embarking on Whole30? Way to go!
But sometimes, brainstorming recipes and snacks that both meet the program’s requirements and taste great can be tricky. To help you out, we’ve curated a few of our favorite Whole30-approved eats for you to enjoy.
Before we dive in, a quick refresher: Whole30 is a sustainable approach to eating that can help you break bad habits and establish a healthier relationship with food. The program is all about whole foods like unprocessed meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats. However, grains, bread, sweeteners, dairy, legumes, and certain additives are off-limits. Lucky for you, we’ve got a huge variety of Whole30-friendly foods to choose from.
Remember, Whole30 is a short-term elimination diet to identify any foods that might be causing negative effects on your body. After the 30-day program, reintroduce foods gradually over 10 days to see how your body reacts.
