Whole 30 Favorites
We are 20 days in our Whole 30 Journey, so we thought we would take a quick moment to share some of our quick, go-to healthy meals.
Pot Roast
Shredded Salsa Chicken Salad
Pork Tenderloin & Roasted Veggies
Spaghetti Squash & Meat Sauce
Pot Roast
This has always been one of her favorite meals. All you need is…
3 lbs beef roast
1 bag of carrots (we used baby carrots)
4-5 potatoes (we used yukon gold)
1 sliced onion
seasonings (salt, pepper, Cavendars, etc)
3 cups beef broth
We literally dump all of this in the crockpot & let it go all day on low. Simple. Easy. & perfect for leftovers.
Shredded Salsa
Chicken Salad
We are both HUGE Mexican food lovers so this helps us on our Mexican food fix.
3 chicken breasts & 1 jar of salsa (check for whole30 approved/no added sugars).
For chicken, we always cut off any fat, butterfly the breasts, then pound them out (this helps with the shredding process). After that, simply throw the chicken & your salsa into the crockpot. Cook on low all day or on high for 4 hours. Easily shreds with forks.
Add chicken to lettuce & add any additional toppings (we added cherry tomatoes, black olives, & cooked onions/peppers).
Pork & Roasted Veggies
Unlike our first two go-to options, this one requires the oven. But it’s still super simple.
1 lb pork tenderloin
Favorite veggies to roast – we picked yukon gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, peppers, onions, broccoli, & cauliflower.
Chop up all of your veggies & toss them in some olive oil (enough to coat them). Add in your favorite seasoning.
Bake on a sheet in the oven at 350* for 20 minutes covered then for 10 minutes uncovered. We suggest placing aluminum foil down first on the baking sheet for easy clean up.
Spaghetti Squash & Meat Sauce
We. Love. Spaghetti. Squash!! In fact, our next meal we plan to make involves more squash! Simply cut the squash in half (I say simply, but we’re always breaking a sweat during this process), add olive oil, salt, & pepper, place upside down on baking sheet (again, use aluminum foil), & bake for 40 minutes at 350*.
Scrape away at the squash with a fork to form your “noodles” & simply pour in your favorite pasta sauce. You can find whole30 approved sauces or you can make your own.
