What is Whole30?

The Whole30 Program is about getting back to basics! This way of eating is not a diet, but rather a nutritional reset. On the menu are nothing but wholesome, unprocessed foods for 30 days. You completely omit sugar, sweeteners, legumes, grains, and dairy, but you get to enjoy lean protein, veggies, fruits, fresh herbs, healthy fats, and more. It's about getting back to the natural foods that we evolved to eat and are so nourishing for our bodies.

Whole30 Fall Recipes (2024)

FAQs

Can you have corn tortillas on Whole30? ›

Corn starch is derived from a grain, which means it's not compatible with Whole30 elimination.

Can you eat quinoa on Whole30? ›

No grains. While plenty of diets restrict simple carbs, Whole30 eliminates even whole grains. This means no wheat, corn, oats, bran, or even brown rice. It also forbids pseudo-cereal grains, including amaranth, buckwheat, and protein-rich quinoa.

Can you have corn on Whole30? ›

Well, the Whole30 diet requires you to eliminate many common foods in order to maintain a healthier diet. It eliminates grains, dairy, wheat, rice, oats, and corn. Soy, beans, and peanuts are eliminated, too. No alcohol, sugar, or other sweeteners are allowed.

Can you have rice on Whole30? ›

While grains (including rice) are not compatible with the Plant-Based Whole30 elimination, rice is often used for the fermentation and processing of certain forms of soy, such as miso and tempeh.

Is Skinny Pop popcorn Whole30 approved? ›

Anything with gluten is off-limits, along with rice, oats, corn and pseudo-grains like quinoa or buckwheat. That means no pasta and popcorn for 30 days.

Is hummus OK on Whole30? ›

Whole30 bans legumes like chickpeas. Still, you can whip up a tasty chickpea-free hummus using avocados, cooked cauliflower, and a few other healthy ingredients.

Is peanut butter Whole30? ›

“Choose a sugar-free nut butter to make it Whole30-compliant.” All nut butters—except peanut butter (peanuts are legumes)—are welcome on the Whole30 diet. Just be sure to read the label and avoid any that add sweeteners, even if it's just honey. The only ingredients should be nuts and possibly salt.

Is Chick Fil A Whole30 approved? ›

Chick-fil-A

They're off-limits because they contain ingredients like cornstarch, molasses, and soybean oil. Even the fruit cups contain added sugar, and the salads have ingredients like soybean oils and cornstarch.

Are Larabars Whole30? ›

These LÄRABAR flavors are Whole30® Compliant:

Carrot Cake. Cashew Cookie. Cherry Pie. Chocolate Coconut Chew.

Are pickles OK on Whole30? ›

Yes, both pickles and bananas are allowed on Whole30. Yet if they are a potential trigger food for you (for instance, the sweetness of bananas sets off a craving for other treats or makes you want to binge on the fruit), then you may consider including them on your “don't eat” list.

Can you ear potatoes on Whole30? ›

Are Potatoes Whole30? Yes! As of January 2021, all varieties of potatoes are included in the Whole30 diet. Yet, the catch is that fries and chips are not included in the diet as they are not considered to be “real” or whole foods.

Is almond milk allowed on Whole30? ›

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. Silk's unsweetened vanilla carton is fair game, too.

Is Greek yogurt Whole30? ›

No dairy (milk – cow or goat, cheese, yogurt and ice cream)

Is butter OK on Whole30? ›

Clarified butter and ghee are the only sources of dairy allowed during your Whole30, as they've had their milk solids rendered out. Plain old butter is not allowed, as its milk proteins could impact the results of your program.

Can you have taco shells on Whole30? ›

Simply replace the corn or flour tortilla with something from the produce section. The simplest Whole30 taco shell are lettuce leaves. My favorite type of lettuce is butter lettuce because they're big and sturdy. You can also thinly slice jicama to make a tasty and crunchy shell.

What Mexican food is Whole30 compliant? ›

Start thinking about enchiladas, skillet meals, soups, salads, and stuffed peppers. One of my favorite websites is 40 Aprons. I make one of her dishes weekly, and most are Whole30 compliant. PRO TIP: Use eggs!

Are corn tortillas wholegrain? ›

When it comes to nutrition, corn tortillas have the advantage of being made from whole grains, with fewer calories, sodium, and carbs but more fiber than flour tortillas. They're also gluten-free. As for cooking and eating, some people complain that corn tortillas break easily.

Can I have refried beans on Whole30? ›

Whole30 doesn't allow beans based on the idea that they contain "anti-nutrients" like phytates.
