What I Eat in a Day on Whole 30

It can be a challenge to figure out meals while you are on Whole 30 because so many food groups are completely cut. The good news is that once you get it a rhythm, it is super easy. There will always be some food prep but once you know what you are going to keep regularly in your kitchen, it gets so much easier to put meals together.

This week, I did a “What I Eat in a Day” on my instagram. If you missed it, I saved it to the highlights on my profile! Here are the recipes of the meals that I made.

Breakfast Acai Bowl

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/4 cup frozen mango
1 frozen banana
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tsp chia seeds
1 cup almond milk (add more to make it creamier)

Toppings:

banana
apple
raspberries
blueberries
almond butter
unsweetened coconut flakes
cacao nibs

Directions: Place all the ingredients in a blender/food processor. It will be thicker than a smoothie so if you have a blender with a tamper, that makes it much easier. If the consistency is too thick, add more almond milk. Pour into a bowl and add your toppings.

Fancy Lunch Salad

Protein:
Poached Egg
Sausage

Directions: Cook the protein while preparing the other ingredients. Once protein is cooked, assemble your salad! The more toppings the better! Feel free to add your own! Top off with your favorite Whole 30 Salad dressing! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
Spinach
cucumber
tomato
avocado
sweet potato
pumpkin seeds
the everything spice
cashews
Trader Joe’s Balsamic & Fig Dressing

Pad Thai

Toppings:

carrots
cilantro
green onion
lime slices
basil
bell peppers
cucumber
avocado
chopped cashews

Ingredients:
1lb chicken sliced thin
1 bag of shredded cabbage mix
2 carrots ribboned
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 clove of garlic minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce:
1 tablespoon almond butter
4 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp pepper flakes
1 clove minced garlic

Directions: Cook chicken with oil, balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, ginger and garlic. Prepare toppings while you wait. Once chicken is cooked, turn the heat off and add cabbage mix and ribboned carrots. To prepare the sauce, add all ingredients to blender/food processor (if you have a mini food chopper that is easiest). Blend until smooth. If you prefer a thicker consistency add more almond butter. If you prefer a thinner consistency add more aminos or water.
