Sample daily menu ideas

Use these sample menus to guide your week. Adjust portions and ingredients to suit your tastes and needs while staying Whole30-compliant.

Breakfast

Scrambled eggs with sautéed spinach and cherry tomatoes, served with avocado slices and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Swap eggs for a breakfast hash of sweet potato, onion, and turkey if you prefer a heartier start.

Lunch

Big salad with mixed greens, roasted chicken, sliced cucumber, radish, toasted almonds, and a lemon-olive oil dressing. Leftover roasted vegetables and protein from dinner make excellent, time-saving salad toppers.

Dinner

Grilled salmon or roasted chicken thighs with a side of roasted root vegetables and a green vegetable such as Brussels sprouts or asparagus. Season simply with garlic, lemon, herbs, and compliant spices.

Snacks

Hard-boiled eggs, sliced bell peppers with compliant dip, olives, small handfuls of nuts, or apple slices with almond butter (if tolerated on your plan).

Meal-prep strategies to save time

Spend one or two hours on the weekend preparing core ingredients to make weekday cooking effortless:

Roast a large tray of mixed vegetables and a sheet pan of seasoned chicken or salmon.
Hard-boil several eggs for quick breakfasts and snacks.
Chop salad vegetables and store them in airtight containers so salads come together quickly.
Prepare a batch of compliant dressing in a jar for the week.
