21 Satisfying Whole30 Recipes

After the holidays we always like to take time to reset. This usually involves cleaning the house, getting rid of things that we don’t use, stretching, writing down to-do lists in our planner, and eating better.

Doing these things make us feel like we are starting the year off on a good foot, which is motivational for us. Speaking of motivation, doing a Whole30 is a great motivator for eating clean and for figuring out what foods your body can and can’t tolerate.

Which is why we are sharing 21 Satisfying Whole30 recipes with you guys… in case you needed motivation for a January Whole30, or you were looking for some clean recipe inspiration.

We love Whole30 recipes in general because they are incredibly clean, which our body always enjoys. We eat Whole30 meals all the time without even realizing it.

For those of you who don’t know, a Whole30 is basically eating whole foods for 30 days. You can eat all sorts of meats, seafood, eggs, fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, and oils. ( You can read more about what the Whole30 entails here).

We loved our first Whole30. Our hormones were more level and we really learned about what foods our body tolerates and what foods it doesn’t. You can read about our Whole30 experience here.

For this post, we joined forces with several talented lighter food bloggers to share some of our most satisfying Whole30 recipes.
