Demystifying Whole30: What You Need to Know

Whole30 is a sustainable approach to eating that can help you break bad habits and establish a healthier relationship with food. Living the Whole30 lifestyle means prioritizing whole foods like unprocessed meat, fish, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil, olive oil, and ghee are also allowed along with nuts and seeds (no peanuts).

When you’re committed to the Whole30 program, you must avoid grains, bread and pastry, pasta, sweeteners, dairy, legumes, and foods with common additives like sulfites, MSG, and carrageenan. It can be difficult to filter through all food labels, which is why at Hungryroot, we seek to curate only high-quality, premium ingredients and fresh groceries to make a healthy lifestyle like Whole30 accessible.

It's important to note that the Whole30 program was designed to be a short-term elimination diet, with the goal of identifying foods (including breakfast food) that may be causing negative effects on your health. After completing the 30-day program, you can reintroduce certain foods back into your diet over a 10-day period, one at a time, to see how your body reacts.

Now that we’ve covered Whole30 basics, let’s dig into some of our favorite healthy, breakfast recipes!
