Breakfast, lunch, dinner and restaurants
What are the best Whole30 fast food orders? Subway’s Make Your Own Salad. Starbucks’s Black Coffee and Protein Boxes (Without Cheese) Dunkin’s Black Coffee. Panera Bread’s Custom Salads. Chipotle’s Whole30 Salad Bowl with Carne Asada or Chicken. Five Guys ‘ Hamburger (With a Lettuce Bun) In-N-Out’s “Protein Style” Hamburger.
Panera : You have to be a bit more creative with Panera . The Green Goddess Cobb Salad is compliant without bacon or chicken. The garden salad is also an option with oil and vinegar. Whole Foods: The Whole Foods Salad Bar and Hot Bar has many options for Whole30 compliant recipes.
It doesn’t make logical sense to leave them out while other carb-dense foods like taro, yuca, or sweet potato are allowed. Potatoes of all varieties are in, but fries and chips are not. (This should not be a surprise. Fries and chips are about as Whole30 as Paleo Pop-Tarts.)
No, Hello Fresh is not Whole30 compliant as they don’t offer any officially Whole30 -approved meals or even paloe-specific meals . Like with Sunbasket and other meal services that provide prepped ingredients, rather than pre-made meals , you have a lot of control over what ingredients you include in your dish.
You can buy prepackaged cooked chicken or cook some chicken breasts or thighs in the oven, Instant Pot or slow cooker. Do not use rotisserie chicken if you are following Whole30 . Neither whole or packaged shredded rotisserie chicken is Whole30 -compliant. Like, not at all, so don’t go there!
Many Whole30 dieters see some type of shift in their bowel movements during the 30 days. “ I poop all the damn time,” wrote one Whole30 blogger. “It feels like everything is all stuck inside my gut,” lamented another participant looking for advice on reclaiming their “snake-like solid easy stools” on a paleo diet forum.
Basically all fruits and veggies are acceptable on Whole30 , so your favorite apples, bananas , berries, and the like are fair game. The same can’t be said for your green breakfast smoothie, however.
White potatoes are now allowed on the Whole30 —but you still can ‘t have French fries or potato chips . Also, any kind of salt is fine-even the iodized stuff that contains dextrose. Just don’t think that your fast-food fries or deep-fried potato chips count as vegetables on our program (or anywhere else, for that matter).
No, Five Guys fries are not Whole30 compliant because they are cooked in peanut oil (which is an oil that is not allowed on Whole30 ).
Coffee : Yes You’re welcome. You can drink it black, add unsweetened compatible nutpods, coconut milk, almond milk, or add cinnamon or vanilla beans to the brew. But remember, Whole30 guidelines exclude milk, cream, non-compatible milk substitutes, and added sweeteners—including stevia (more on that below).
You can eat tree nuts like almonds , Brazil nuts , cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans , pistachios and walnuts. It also means you’re free to eat and drink butters and milks made from those nuts , provided they don’t include other ingredients from the banned list. That’s a lot to remember.
Whole30 founder Melissa Hartwig called this the first-ever Whole30 -approved almond milk in 2016. It’s got only four ingredients: water, organic almonds , organic acacia gum, and sea salt. You ‘ve seen this in literally every grocery store, and now you know: Yes, you can drink it while doing Whole30 .
The Whole30 isn’t a weight loss diet. You won’t count or restrict calories, skip meals, or eliminate carbs. You ‘ll eat real, whole food to satiety, with no pills, powders, or shakes required. You ‘re not even allowed to step on the scale—that’s how serious we are!
Splurge On Ready-Made Whole30 – Approved Meals. Ordering some meals from Hungryroot allowed me to have delicious meals that I could make quickly at home or even in the microwave–perfect for work or taking a meal to-go. And it doesn’t get any easier than this to eat your veggies!
The Paleo diet focuses on eating plant-based meals with high quality proteins and fats. The Whole30 is often referred to as “a stricter form of Paleo ”.
