30 Whole30 Recipes That Are Also Vegan & Vegetarian (2024)

FAQs

Can you do Whole30 as a vegan? ›

Yes: Eat real food

Start with the Plant-Based Whole30 Edit from Daily Harvest, and kick off your Whole30 with 14 perfectly compatible, hearty, delicious meals. Eat foods with a simple or recognizable list of ingredients, or no ingredients at all because they're whole and unprocessed.

What is the difference between Whole30 and plant-based Whole30? ›

The Original program also includes animal fats like ghee, lard, and duck fat. The Plant-Based Whole30 does not include any animal protein or fats, but does include legumes as necessary sources of protein.

Know More ›

Can you eat oatmeal on Whole30? ›

No grains.

This includes wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, sprouted grains, and all gluten-free pseudo-cereals like quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat. This also includes all the ways we add wheat, corn, and rice into our foods in the form of bran, germ, starch, and so on.

Know More ›

What fruit is allowed on the Whole30 diet? ›

Let's start with a food list of what you can eat on Whole30: All vegetables, including potatoes. Fruit, including strawberries, watermelon, apples, oranges, and bananas. Seafood, such as fish, oysters, shrimp, and mussels.

What is a Whole30 substitute for butter? ›

But that doesn't mean you can't eat any butter when you're doing Whole30 or that you should start looking for some butter substitute. According to the program rules, the best—and only—way to eat butter when you're doing Whole30 is to eat clarified butter or ghee.

Get More Info ›

Why are beans not allowed on Whole30? ›

Whole30 doesn't allow beans based on the idea that they contain "anti-nutrients" like phytates. Phytates are compounds found in plants that can potentially block the body's absorption of important minerals like magnesium, iron, and calcium.

What is the average weight loss on Whole30? ›

Know More ›

What fruits are not Whole30 compliant? ›

All fruit, including dates, are allowed on your Whole30. They're a great way to add that hint of sweetness to a sauce, or to stuff with almonds and wrap in (compatible) bacon as a fancy-schmancy appetizer. But please, no processed date syrup.

Can I eat peanut butter on Whole30? ›

Show Me More ›

Is canned tuna OK for Whole30? ›

Canned tuna – If you are on a Whole30, just double-check the ingredients. A lot of canned tuna contains soy (look for the “CONTAINS SOY” disclaimer below the ingredients), which is not Whole30 compatible. My Walmart has a store brand that is compatible, as well as I can find it fairly affordably at Winco.

See Details ›

Are potatoes allowed on Whole30? ›

Are Potatoes Whole30? Yes! As of January 2021, all varieties of potatoes are included in the Whole30 diet. Yet, the catch is that fries and chips are not included in the diet as they are not considered to be “real” or whole foods.

What can I put in my coffee on Whole30? ›

You can drink it black, add unsweetened compatible nutpods, coconut milk, almond milk, or add cinnamon or vanilla beans to the brew. But remember, Whole30 guidelines exclude milk, cream, non-compatible milk substitutes, and added sweeteners—including date paste or stevia (more on that below).”

Dairy.

Know More ›

Is Whole30 a plant-based diet? ›

The Whole30 is a 30-day elimination fad diet that emphasizes whole foods and the elimination of sugar, alcohol, grains, and dairy. The traditional Whole30 also eliminates legumes and soy, while a plant-based version of the Whole30 allows consumption of those food groups.

Is it possible to be vegan your whole life? ›

No one in my family has had health problems related to a vegan diet! All the vegans I know are perfectly healthy, so I know we don't need animal products and that is just a scam. I have been vegan my whole life, and I am very healthy and hardly ever ill!
