As promised, today I’m sharing our complete Whole30 meal plan. Yes, you read that right. What we ate for our entire Whole30 experience. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner.
While doing Whole30 with two young kids (ages 1.5 and almost 3) was daunting, I promise you that it’s possible. By weeks 3 and 4, I felt like I got into a groove meal planning for the week.
I occasionally made a separate meal for our kids. Think macaroni and cheese for lunch, oatmeal for breakfast. But I really tried to limit the number of meals I made and encouraged them to eat most everything that we did.
I planned out our week and shopped at both Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods for all of our groceries on Sunday. I also meal prepped as much as possible. For example, I made hard boiled eggs for the week, cut up fresh veggies and lettuce for salads, washed our apples, etc.
Top 3 Favorite Meals
Breakfast:
- Joe’s special scramble
- Scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns – no joke, I almost cried when Whole Foods was out of the Alexia organic hashed browns…that’s how much I loved this breakfast
- Banana muffins – it’s not so much that these muffins were delicious, but after days and days of eating eggs, I needed some variety
Lunch:
You’ll notice a theme. We had salad for lunch almost every single day. I was never a fan of salads in the past, but now if I don’t have one for a couple of days I crave it. I didn’t use recipes for any of them, but listed out what I included in the meal plan below. My #1 favorite dressing is Primal Foods green goddess dressing. I think we went through 1 bottle a week. And this on the go salad container is the best.
- BLT salad
- Chicken salad
- Salad with chicken tenders
Dinner:
These are the dinners I made over and over again even post-Whole30. While the whole chicken I made each week didn’t make the list, it was clutch for salads the rest of the week.
- Greek-marinated salmon with asparagus and greek salad
- Chicken tenders
- Baked garlic chicken and potatoes
- Taco salad
