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’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.

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.

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.

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.
Melissa Hartwig Urban shares some of her favorite crock-pot recipes. A comforting soup, a classic stew and a twist on a global favorite – these dinners are so easy, you can simply pop them into your slow cooker and come home to a ready-made, good-for-you meal.
This slow-cooker version of the Middle Eastern classic is given a twist with ras el hanout, a North African spice blend that can include ginger, anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom, nigella, mace, galangal, turmeric and dried flowers such as lavender and rose.
