27 Of The Most Amazingly Delicious Whole30 Recipes
Do you WHOLE30?
Before we start, you may be wondering, "What is Whole30, and how does it differ from Paleo?"
As Whole9Life states, "The Whole30 is based on a Paleo framework, but restricts some foods that might be considered “Paleo” in nature. (Of course, the exact definition of Paleo varies, based on who you ask.) The goal of the Whole30 is to eliminate all foods that may be having a negative psychological or physiological effect on how you look, feel and live. As such, some technically “Paleo” foods (like honey, or desserts made with almond flour) are ruled out for the duration of your program."
So, here are 27 of my most coveted Whole30 recipes. They range from breakfast and midday snacks to elegant light dishes like roasted halibut, Thai cuisine, and even desserts which your kids are going to love. This vast array of recipes will bring not only some new and improved flavors to your family dinner table but incredibly beneficial nutrition as well.
So, without further ado-- let's get started!

Don't have a grill? No problem! Here's an easy, broil method you can utilize in the comfort of your own kitchen. When you need a quick meal, try whipping up this delectable avocado salsa ahead of time. You’ll have more time to spend with the family. Check out this recipe here.
2. Greek Meatballs with Avocado Tzatziki Sauce
I personally am addicted to lamb. Part of the reason is due to the fact that it is grass-fed and lean. As another option, you can always substitute grass-fed ground beef. But, you might just want to try the lamb with the tzatziki sauce. I’m sure that you are going to love this dish. Grab the full recipe here.

Most people think “wings” and automatically assume you need to start prepping the grill. Well, this mouth-watering recipe makes wings easy by baking them in the oven. Not only that, but the sauce topping for the wings is absolutely to die for. To get the full recipe go here.
6. Slow Cooker Beef Carnitas
It's taco night! How can you spice up your tacos? By slow cooking your beef, they are inundated with flavor. If you're worried about the corn tortilla, just do what I do and substitute them with butter lettuce. Taco night never tasted so good! Grab this recipe here.
7. Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
There are two universal things that never change: death and taxes! Right? Well, I'd argue that a third one would be anytime you make Brussels sprouts with bacon. It is sure to be the best side dish you've ever tasted. There's something amazingly savory and harmonious about adding pork. It gets people coming back for not only seconds but thirds. Grab the recipe here.
8. Blaukraut German Red Cabbage

Adding garlic shrimp makes this dish elegant as well as flavorful. Grab this full recipe here.
18. Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are one of my favorite hors d'oeuvres to bring to a party. Whether you want to infuse them with bacon fat or make them classic style, you can't go wrong. An amazing trick to make them easier to peel is by adding 1 TBSP of baking soda to the boiling water. This lowers the pH making them much easier to peel. Grab the recipe here.

At one family holiday dinner, I made a roasted duck. People were talking about it for years. If you really want to impress your guests, you can't go wrong with roasted duck.

Thai food has been introduced to the American scene rather rapidly and for good reason. It's a great late night snack and a perfect comfort food bursting with flavor.
