20 Best Whole30 Recipes

A Whole 30 Dinner for Every Weeknight This Month!

If you’ve ever done Whole30, you know that it’s all about having a meal plan—tried, true, delicious and easy Whole30 recipes to get you through with success. You know the recipes I’m talking about—flavorful, colorful, easy meals that feel as good as they taste, and definitely don’t feel like a sacrifice. Recipes so good, they just might find a spot in your weeknight dinner rotation after the month is over.

Here, we’ve rounded up our 20 best Whole30 recipes to help you kick off a month of healthy eating. It’s tempting to embark on a diet with a list of all of the things that you can’t eat in your mind. But we say, why not focus on all of the delicious things you can eat?! With these Whole30-approved recipes in your arsenal, you can think of this month as a celebration of cooking and enjoying good food, rather than a time of deprivation.

All Our Favorite Whole30 Lunches.

• These One-Pan Steak Bites with Sweet Potatoes (cover photo) are not to be missed! You’ll want to find (or better yet, make) a suitable mayonnaise for the curry dipping sauce it's our favorite part!
• How anyone survives Whole30 without this Sweet Potato Hash with Carnitas we really don’t know, we eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Whole 30 Dinner Recipes Everyone Will Love.

• This Skillet Roasted Chicken with Cabbage is easy, delicious and most importantly whole thirty approved! As the chicken roasts, it braises the bed of cabbage, making it the perfect one-pan meal and not to mention one of our favorite whole30 chicken recipes ever!
• Serve our simple Roast Beef Red Curry over a pile of cauliflower rice for comforting, warmly spiced addition to your Whole30 meal plan.
• A simple Curried Pumpkin Coconut Soup is rich and comforting, and will get no complaints from any non-Whole30-ers in your household.

Whole 30 Meals That Taste So. Damn. Good.

• Bake up a double batch of our Chicken Fajita Sheet Pan Dinner and you’ll have at least one dinner, plus fajita-style salads for a weeks’ worth of lunches, too! Top with a bright, limey, Whole30 approved dressing.
• Honestly, killer condiments are one of the secrets to surviving Whole30, and since a lot of store-bought stuff is a no-no, you’ve got to get comfortable making your own. Enter chimichurri! Naturally Whole30 approved, it is amazing on this Chimichurri Steak and everything else for that matter! Definitely one of our Whole30 BFFs.
• Deprivation? What? Roasty, stewy, and topped in an almost-carb-y topping, glorious Healthy Shepherds Pie is a soul-soothing Whole30 that doesn’t disappoint.

We've Got The Best Whole 30 Recipes, Promise.

• Sheet pan, sheet pan, sheet pan. We love a one-pan meal and it doesn’t get any easier than this Shrimp and Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner. Slathered with a lemony aioli, it’s just the kind of everyday luxury that makes a challenge like Whole30 feel not just doable but—dare we say—fun!
• Our Healthy Italian Wedding Soup is made with cauliflower rice in place of the more traditional pasta, and the easy drop-and-boil meatballs will save you time and energy.
• We eat with our eyes first, and this rainbow-hued Tropical Kale Salad is a visual (and actual) feast, sure to perk you up when you hit a mid-Whole30 slump.

All Our Favorite Whole 30 Diet Recipes All in One Place.

• Would you believe me if I told you that you can have Chicken Tenders on Whole30? Well you can if they’re these coconut chicken tenders. We’ve swapped AP flour for almond flour, and get a helping hand from shredded coconut to make this kid-friendly classic juicy and crisp. You'll just need to find a Whole30-approved dipping sauce to go with them, because our honey mustard unfortunately isn't whole 30 compliant.
• Tikka Masala Soup is one of our most loved recipes of all time, and—you guessed it—it’s also Whole 30-approved. Win-win!
• Meat, and some meat, plus more meat, our rich Crockpot Paleo Chili is here for you if you’re going super hardcore Whole30 and giving up beans.

A Few More of Our Best Recipes, Just For You!

• Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Gremolata: oh my! You’ll make this one over and over again throughout the Whole30, and anyone who gets to dine in your kitchen this month—friends, family, kiddos—will thank you for it.
• Lighten things up with this fragrant Green Curry Salmon. Spicy and vegetable-loaded, it’s a refreshing bright spot any day of the week.
• Vegetable Curry Soup is one of our other favorite ways to lighten things up during Whole30. A rich and creamy coconut broth, studded with hearty vegetables—we love to double it and have lunches covered for at least a few days.
• To keep these Larb Lettuce Cups in sync with Whole30, just skip the toasted rice and swap those coconut aminos for the sugar and soy sauce! Easy peasy, it’s everyone’s weeknight fave.
