I have to say, when I set out to find the most amazingly delicious Whole 30 recipes, I was not expecting to find such mouthwatering recipes and photos. The key to deliciousness is a fantastic combination of spices.
Many of my readers strive to follow a Whole30 diet, and I recently read and loved the book. My sister, Tami, lives and breathes by it during the week. So, while I may not follow it strictly as a diet, I appreciate the approach, and I’ve been inspired to cut out much of the sugar in my diet and eat more protein and veggies.
Recently, I spent quite a bit of time researching and found 50 recipes that I know my family will love, and I’m guessing your family will, too. Whether following Whole30 or not, you’ll agree these are delicious recipes. You might want to make a list – so many to try!
What is the Whole30 diet?
- The Whole30 diet is eating real food, meaning foods with very few ingredients or that don’t have a list of ingredients because they are whole and not processed.
- Think moderate portions of meat, seafood, and eggs; lots of vegetables; some fruit; plenty of natural fats; and fresh herbs, spices, and seasonings.
- It also includes the removal of inflammatory foods and beverages in your diet, for example, sugars, sweeteners, alcohol, grains, legumes, dairy, baked goods, and, of course, junk food.
- Typically you prep three “clean” meals a day, made with Whole30-approved ingredients.
What Can You Eat on the Whole30 diet?
- Coffee
- Vegetables including potatoes
- Fruits in moderation
- Unprocessed Meats – some sausages are still okay; check for added sugar and off-limit preservatives.
- Seafood
- Eggs
- Nuts and seeds
- Some cooking oils and ghee.

- Mixing Bowls:I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes has been essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of its durability.
- Measuring Cups:Nothing beats a good set of measuring cups that last a long time. I love metal measuring cups because of their durability.
- Measuring Spoons: I have to have a metal set of measuring spoons on hand. The plastic ones don’t last long in our house, partly due to the garbage disposal.
