I’ve got a new Whole30 meal plan with over 40 easy whole30 recipes included. This meal plan is the perfect way to ring in 2019 and so many of these easy recipes will freeze very well for later. You will find the best collection of healthy and delicious whole30 recipes (breakfast, lunch, dinner and side dishes below!)
Looking for a Whole30 shopping list?
I’ve got you covered with that, too! Get ready to feel extremely prepared for your next Whole30 by having this Whole30 meal plan, as well as the Whole30 Trader Joe’s shopping list at your finger tips.
You can also print out the guide or simply download it and save it.
This will be a game changer for you, as the hardest part of doing a Whole30 is all of the prep work that is needed for true to access.
What’s wonderful about the shopping list is that you can find the bulk of the ingredients you will need to make any of the easy Whole30 recipes I have included in the meal plan below.
🙂 Woo hoo!
Before starting your Whole30 diet meal plan…
- Educate yourself & prepare accordingly
During your Whole30, do not recluse yourself from social outings and gatherings. If you’re planning a dinner date or heading out to a new restaurant with some coworkers or friends, look up their menu online.
You can take a look at all of their options and figure out what is compliant on the menu.
What’s even better is you can call the restaurant if you have any questions or concerns about certain items. You will walk into that restaurant with a plan and executing that plan will be stress-free.
- Get friends and family on board!
There is nothing better than having the support of friends and/or family members while on a Whole30. This is especially true if it is your first go around.
If you’ve been invited for a night out with close friends who may poke fun at your new lifestyle, ask them if you can invite along your sister, who just so happens to be Whole30’ing with you!
Having that support system right by your side when tempted to make unwise decisions will prove to be tremendously helpful. In fact, print out a copy of the Trader Joe’s Whole30 Shopping List and invite your support system to come grocery shopping with you.
How about hosting a Whole30 dinner party at your house? This would be a great way to show your friends & family what you’ve been up to.
After seeing how many delicious things they can eat during a Whole30, they may become tempted to join you for your next round!
- Share this Whole30 meal plan with others
Those friends and family members are going to feel like they want to be extra supportive if you show them all of the delicious kinds of recipes you get to eat during your Whole30!
Go ahead and send over this meal plan to them. I guarantee you that once they see all of the things you *can* eat, they’re going to forget about all of the things that you can’t.
Tips & Tricks
FIRST THINGS FIRST – Print out any of these easy Whole30 recipes you want to make. You can go through the recipes and check out which groceries you already have at home and what you’ll need to purchase! 🙂
Grocery Shopping
Plan your grocery trips for twice a week. This ensures that you’ll be planning at least 2-3 days ahead of time, yet still keeping the possibility of food spoilage very slim.
Prep Work
Wash, dry and cut all produce after you finish grocery shopping and store in the refrigerator.
Portion Sizes
Be sure to portion out meals in to-go containers when you’re finished cooking. That will make grabbing breakfast, taking lunch to go and heating up dinner a whole lot easier!
For 30 days, you have completely eliminated foods that both scientific literature and Melissa Hartwig’s clinical experience have deemed as the most commonly problematic in 1 of 4 areas- your cravings, metabolism, digestion, and immune system (Whole30 Cookbook, 1).
After your Whole30 is up, it is now time to start systematically reintroducing those foods you’ve cut out and now pay close attention to your experience.
After 30 days of elimination and spending some time with reintroduction, you will have a firm understanding of what foods are best for you, both physiologically and emotionally.
Let’s talk about morning routine, and how it may help you conquer your Whole30…
I am such a creature of habit. As human beings, we are *such* creatures of habit and because you are going to really be shaking things up for the next 30 days, I’d recommend coming up with a morning routine and sticking to it.
What do I mean by that? Well, it depends on what’s important to you. For me, I need to stay off my phone the first 10-15 minutes of waking up.
Those numbers may look different for you or they may not even exist. That’s just what feels good/right for me. Instead, I will listen to the birds outside, get up and jump start my skincare routine.
It’s the last part of my morning routine is my absolute favorite and that is… making my morning drank. There is something so seductive yet calming about having all of the right ingredients / tools in my cupboard to make myself a hot or iced cup of pure joy.
There’s no need for me to rush to the coffee shop… I lovingly get to stroll downstairs and get to curating. Why is it important to have the tools you need in order to do this at home?
You can focus on really setting yourself up for the day during your Whole30. That means: making sure you are making a well-balanced breakfast meal, peeking into the refrigerator and cupboards to see if you have enough groceries, etc.
Take a look at all of the easy Whole30 recipes I’ve included below. While you are sipping on your beverage, make a quick grocery list for the day or next few days if meal prep is your jam.
These are all things you may skip out on doing should you have chosen to rush out the door for that morning cup of whatever or if you were distracted by what your best friend did last night while out too late and drunk Instagram story’ing. You get the picture.
Sure, this all may sound a little crazy, but trust me- you are going to thank me very soon.
