I successfully completed my third (!) Whole 30 *thunderous applause* and thought, my not talk about it a bit on the interwebz. You can read everything I ate during my very first round HERE. But today, I wanna talk about the foods that I have to have in order to make it through. If you’re wanting to undertake your own Whole 30 (read up on it, first and foremost), give these foods a shot! However, I think what’s super great about the Whole 30 process is you really learn what foods feel best for you personally. So experiment and have fun!

Here’s what I need for a successful Whole 30…

• Lara bars – great in a pinch if you get HANGRY
• Guacamole pods – an easy (read: lazy) way to add some healthy fats to your lunchbox
• Aidells Chicken & Apple Sausage – my favorite sheet pan dinner to cook up on busy nights = these sausages + baby red potatoes + broccoli
• GT’s Kombucha – afternoon pick-me-up
• Flavored seltzer water – not married to La Croix, the store brands work just fine for me
• Almond butter – gotta pair my fruit with protein
• Applesauce pouches – just make sure there’s no added sugar (my husband calls these baby food but *shrugs*)
• Carrot and red bell pepper sticks – when you’re off sugar, raw veggies like these taste AMAZING
• Chicken burgers – TJ’s has a pre-made, compliant option but we just get ground chicken and make ’em ourselves
• Potato and sweet potato latkes/home fries/hash browns – honestly do you even NEED bread when you can have a latke??
• Bananas – I just can’t be bothered to cook eggs every single morning so these are my go-to brekky fuel
• Banana pepper rings – the best way to top a salad imho
• Salami – what can I say? I love my Italian meats
• Ghee – when I DO cook eggs, this is the business
• Plantain chips – for crunch
