These recipes are meant to make your life easier while on the Whole30 program, no matter how long you’ve been doing it or how new you are.

Starting Your Day Right with Whole30 Breakfast

When you wake up in the morning, you set the tone for the day, and your first meal is essential for keeping you full of energy until lunch. Following these rules is very important for Whole30, which means giving up sugar and processed foods. Here’s how to have a good breakfast without giving up anything:

Hearty Sweet Potato Hash

Ingredients:

  • Two medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • One red bell pepper, diced
  • One green bell pepper, diced
  • One small onion, diced
  • Two garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Put olive oil in a big pan and heat it over medium-high heat.
Add the sweet potatoes and stir them around a few times to soften them, which should take about 5 minutes.
Then add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for another 8 to 10 minutes until the soft veggies and sweet potatoes are browned.
Add pepper and salt, and serve hot.

Add extra energy and flavor to this hash by adding meatless sausage or a fried egg.

 

For people like me who are always on the go, lunch should be healthy and easy to carry. This recipe is easy to make ahead of time and can be kept in the fridge for quick meals on the go.

Mason Jar Salads with Protein

Ingredients:

  • Four wide-mouth mason jars
  • 2 grilled chicken breasts, chopped
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • One cucumber, diced
  • One bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • your preferred Whole30-compliant dressing

Instructions:

To start, put some salad dressing in each glass jar.
Add the rest of the ingredients to each jar one layer at a time, starting with the harder, more liquid-prone ones, like the onions and tomatoes,s and ending with the greens.
Put the jars in the fridge and seal them. Shake the jar to spread the sauce before you eat, and you’ll have a fresh, crunchy, entirely off-label salad.

The salad’s protein keeps you from getting hungry an hour later, and mason jars make it easy to control how much you eat and stay ready for your noon meal.

Delicious Whole30 Dinners

One of the best things about life is taking your time and enjoying a meal. Here are two dinner ideas that are Whole30-friendly and show that healthy can also mean tasty.

Instructions:

Place the pan on medium heat. Add the garlic and ghee or oil. Cook for about one minute.
Put in the salt, pepper, lemon juice, and prawns. Cook the prawns on each side for 3 to 4 minutes until they are pink and fully cooked.

Place the zoodles on plates, top with prawns, and serve immediately.

 

Whole30 One-Pan Chicken and Veggie Bake

Salt and pepper should be mixed in an olive oil bowl with all the chicken and veggies, and toss until everything is covered.
Spread the veggies and chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet or pan. Add the lemon pieces and garlic cloves. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is done and the veggies are soft and browned.

The ingredients for these dinner recipes are easy to find and taste great. They are perfect for a weeknight meal when you typically eat fast food. On Whole30, don’t forget that seasoning is your friend. Herbs and spices are great for making things exciting and tasty.
