If the Whole30 isn’t on your radar yet, it should be. This 30-day, energy-boosting, inflammation-zapping program isn’t just another diet, it’s a virtual movement (Google Whole30 if you haven’t yet!). Since their program shares many of the values as Clean Eating, we’ve partnered with them to bring you everything you need to start your Whole30 journey in January — or any time of the year — and we’re not exaggerating when we say it just might change the way you eat forever.
Doing the Whole30 properly means following the rules. Here are the don’ts of the program to help guide you through your 30 days.
We set out on a mission to find out just how many veg and fruits can be spiralized or riced — and it turns out the possibilities are endless. Learn how to master the technique and use these lower-carb substitutes seamlessly in your cooking.
Clean Eating sat down with spiralizing mogul, “New York Times” best-selling cookbook author and creator of “Inspiralized,” Ali Maffucci to pick her brain about the endless possibilities in the world of spiralized and riced produce.
We’ve unbundled your favorite sushi and included all the savory flavors in this sushi-style bowl. Instead of rice, though, we’ve used cucumber noodles for a fresh, crunchy twist combined with tuna, avocado and a gingery sauce
Squash stands in for rice in this remake of the traditional Spanish dish. You can use butternut squash or yellow squash — we recommend spiralizing the veg first, then cutting or pulsing in the food processor to get rice-size pieces. If using yellow squash, cutting it is a safer bet since the veg is so delicate. Check the labels when you are purchasing chorizo as some brands contain sugar.
Creamy, nutty and loaded with fresh veggies, this vegan meal is one you'll want to eat again and again.
Miss the feeling of unwinding with a glass of wine after a long day? Try this mocktail with zingy ginger and tart pineapple blended into a base of hibiscus tea.
This taco bowl is so satisfying that we’re sure you’re going to keep it on rotation long after your Whole30 journey is over. When purchasing salsa, check that it doesn’t contain added sugar.
The easiest way to fall off the Whole30 wagon is to head out into the world without preparing lunches and small bites for the road. We’ve got you covered with an array of take-to-go options that are 100% compliant and portable.
This take on burgers ditches the buns in favor of a collard green wrap and subs in baked carrot fries for the traditional fries that are usually cooked in processed oils.
While you can’t have conventional deep-fried French fries during the Whole30 challenge, you can have these heart-healthy wedges. Whether you prefer to bake or fry them, both options are compliant.
A high-quality bone broth in place of traditional broth not only makes this dish Whole30-compliant, but it also helps boost your immune system, treat leaky gut and improve joint health, thanks to the collagen it contains. This soup tastes even better the next day, so it makes a perfect weekday lunch.
A few easy swaps – such as almond milk in the mash and cassava flour as a thickener – makes this classic comfort meal Whole30 compliant. You can make this pie in a large baking dish or in smaller, individual servings.
No need to give up on crispy chicken while doing the Whole30 – you just have to make it with compliant ingredients. Use the spicy marinara as a dipping sauce or smother it over top.
This tahini dip gets a flavor kick from harissa, a Moroccan chile pepper paste. Just read the label carefully to ensure it doesn’t contain added sugar. Use your favorite vegetables for dipping.
Look for sugar- and nitrate-free bacon to stay Whole30 compliant.
Brimming with lemon, tarragon, parsley and chives, these deviled eggs are a fresh, zesty take on the classic side. Garnish with curls of lemon zest for a pretty presentation.
The old-school sandwich side gets an upgrade with crunchy pickles and avocado oil mayonnaise. Just be sure to read your labels to ensure your ingredients are Whole30 compliant.
You may think of the Whole30 program as a meat-heavy eating plan, but in reality, there’s an abundance of vibrant vegetables you can incorporate into each and every meal. In these creative and compliant sides, plant-based ingredients get the lead role.
Hearty roasted veggies – including purple potatoes, celery root, turnip and parsnips – are tossed with a quick herbed pesto made with parsley, basil and a lot of lemon for a fresh, zesty take on this classic side.
Shredded carrots and parsnips are seasoned with curry powder in these no-fuss fritters. You can shallow fry them in avocado oil or bake them. Pair them with a sauce for dipping, if you like.
Let this spiced chicken curry warm you up from the inside out. This recipe is packed with veggies and has a silky coconut milk base for a dish that is both indulgent and healthy.
Homemade meatballs that use coconut flour as a binder get simmered in a hearty tomato sauce and served on a bed of cauliflower rice.
Many stir-fry sauces contain soy sauce and sugar, both of which are off the menu on the Whole30 plan. This healthy remake uses coconut aminos, sesame oil and ginger for maximum flavor while sticking to compliant ingredients.
You don’t need tortillas or wheat-battered fish to make tasty, gut-supportive tacos, you just need this easy recipe.
An almond flour coating gives these spicy bites a crispy exterior without the need for bread crumbs. Paired with a dip made of heart-healthy fats, you have a satiating side. Serve it hot right from the oven for best texture.
Caramelized shallots and crispy bacon impart big flavor to these shredded Brussels sprouts topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds. To make this dish vegetarian, you can omit the bacon and sauté the shallots in olive oil instead. To ensure it’s Whole30 compliant, look for bacon that doesn’t contain sugar.
This baked fajita recipe uses pork instead of the usual beef or chicken. And it's easy to make — just cut up the pork and veggies, then pop them in the oven. The outcome is juicy and tender pork and a dinner that's packed with flavor.
This hot or cold soup takes less time to prepare than it takes to watch a sitcom. A touch of miso adds a nutty, salty element to the mix and teams up with firm light tofu to pack in the protein.
