9 Tasty & Healthy Whole30 Recipes To Try Today!

The Whole30 Program encourages people to eat whole foods and unprocessed food for a month. It bans sugar, alcohol, milk, wheat, beans, and even fake treats that are Whole30 approved ingredients.

The best part about Whole30 is that it’s not a diet. The Whole30 does not require you to eat a restricted diet or prioritize weight loss. This is a 30-day food challenge that requires you to eliminate certain foods that could cause health problems or digestive issues. You also learn about your body’s response to these foods.

These Whole30 recipes can be used every day of the week, regardless of whether you’re interested in Whole30 as part of your diet. Here are 9 of my favorite Easy and Healthy Whole30 Recipes to help you get started on your journey toward healthier eating.
