Remember that one time I did the Whole30?

Wait.

REMEMBER THOSE THREE TIMES I DID THE WHOLE30?

I do.

It was awesome. And hard.

Sometimes terrible.

*Side note: I wrote a book! Adulting for Christians: An Interactive Guide to Keeping the Faith While Learning the Ropes is available here for preorder NOW!

And completely worth the effort.

On my second round of the Whole30, I captured (almost) every meal and shared it on an Instagram account (@thewholeavocado) I created for just that reason. I love avocados, btw.

I have found that Whole30 works for me, and due to some sensitivities to dairy and gluten, I have found that even when I am not ON the full program, I am on a very close track. If only sugar was as easy to avoid as dairy and gluten. Not that dairy and gluten are easy to avoid, but compared to sugar…

By the way, do ya need an idea for a great Whole30 compliant breakfast? How about a Warm Pumpkin Breakfast Bowl? I love this for lunch too. Or a snack. It has some sweetness to it, so sometimes I go to it when I am craving a candy bar 😉 

One thing that helped my own success in the Whole30 adventure was food that made meal making and planning simpler. As a result, Trader Joe’s quickly became my very favorite grocery destination.

(This is not a sponsored post, btw. I just know the mountain that the Whole30 can be, and it is a worthwhile mountain and if anyone decides to climb it – I want to help… Like a Whole 30 sherpa of sorts? Maybe I took that too far…)

Aaaanywho.

Actually, it’s 45 things…. that help make the climb less …. climb-y. And yummier. It’s roughly broken down into sections: “convenience” foods from the aisles, “convenience” foods from the produce section, and “convenience” foods from the freezer section:

 

Now let’s apply what you’ve learned! I have a post (with recipes) featuring my 7 go-to Whole30 meals right here!

Obviously, I like salsa. And that guacamole is great dip for carrots. Or schmere for your buffalo/beef/chicken burger.  I can’t have eggs, so I use guac and avocado as an egg substitute-of-sorts.

I could eat that 8 veggie chop stuff every every day. There’s a great recipe for creamy Italian in Well Fed* I love to drizzle on it… and add chopped Applegate nitrate free salami. Or chicken. And olives. I love to add olives to that. The Well Fed book alone got me through my first round of Whole30.

My favorite FAVORITE cookbooks are all the Well Fed books… I am particularly lovestruck with Melissa’s newest book Well Fed Weeknights*. Perfect meals in 45 minutes. Not all are Whole30, but the adjustments are not difficult for quick compliance. To make a great, clean meal in 45 minutes? You guys, if ever there was hope for success…

Even when I am not tackling a Whole30, I do keep many of these items on rotation in my pantry/fridge. I am not going to say I have this WHOLE way of eating mastered, but when I keep the right stuff around… especially easy, right stuff… It makes all the difference.
