I’ll be in the kitchen meal prepping all day today for next week, so having this Buffalo Chicken Dip on hand is the perfect snack to keep me full and fueled all day! It’s Dairy Free, Paleo & Whole30 Friendly, and loaded with vegetables! It can be served with your favorite Paleo Tortilla chips, or with more veggies if you’re following a strict Whole30 diet! The best part is, you can just pop it out of the fridge, scoop it onto a plate, and dig in! No need to reheat this dip as it taste just as good cold as it does warm!
Read MoreI’ll be in the kitchen all day today, so I whipped up this Garlic Cauliflower Hummus last night to give me something healthy to snack on while I cook! When I first started making this recipe, it was always for the beach, but now it’s became one of those things that we constantly have to have in the fridge! It has just the right amount of kick from the garlic, and the consistency of the tahini makes everything feel very smooth and creamy! I’ve also included the option to add a small russet potato in addition to the Cauliflower! It makes the hummus a bit heartier and feel more like a meal than a snack, but it’s totally up to you!
My boyfriend Jimmy likes his with Cassava Strips or Grain Free Tortilla Chips, but if you’re looking for an even healthier option, carrots are always my go-to🥕 This hummus can be stored in the fridge for 5-7 days and is a great healthy snack option to have on hand! It’s also Whole30 Friendly, Paleo, Gluten Free, & Vegan!
Read MoreI can’t believe it’s Day 29 of the Whole30 already! One of my favorite new snacks I discovered while on this round of Whole30 was Chia Pudding! I was a little skeptical at first simply because I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s very similar in taste and texture to tapioca pudding, which I love! It also ends up feeling like a DIY Sundae Bar after you get through topping it with all your favorite toppings! In addition to all the heath benefits of Chia Seeds, this recipe is also Whole30 Friendly, Vegan, Gluten Free, & Free of any Added Sugar!
You can prep them up to a week in advance and have them ready to go for a quick breakfast, or keep them in a cooler for a beach day! Chia seeds can be found at just about any grocery store and are SUPER CHEAP on Amazon, so give them a try and let me know what you think!
Read MoreIf you’re missing out on Girl Scout Cookies this year, I’ve got the perfect fix for you! These 4 Ingredient Caramel Delight copycats are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, and in my opinion, taste better than the real thing! I know recreations are frowned upon while on the Whole30, but all of the ingredients are Whole30 compliant and sometimes you just need a damn cookie!
Read MoreI love incorporating new ingredients & produce into recipes, but I also understand how overwhelming it can be to use a bunch of ingredients you’ve never heard of when starting a new diet. This “Baked Whole30 Popcorn Chicken & Fries” recipe is the perfect transition meal for anyone looking to ease into eating clean! If you don’t already have one, I HIGHLY encourage you to get a wire cooking rack as it really is key to getting that perfect popcorn chicken crunch!
I cooked my very 1st plantain just 3 weeks ago and I immediately wondered where they hell these have been my whole life because I am now OBSESSED! Since then, I’ve used them for Dinner, Dessert, Chia Bowls, Smoothies...and now Breakfast! Being that plantains are super versatile and depending on their ripeness, can be used in both savory and sweet dishes, I decided to turn them into tostones and use them as buns for breakfast sliders! They’d honestly be a great bun for any type of slider, so feel free to try them with burgers, buffalo chicken, or whatever you’d like! I know I sound like a plantain connoisseur right now, but I promise you less than a month ago I was Google-ing how to peel one. These really snuck into my diet out of nowhere and I’m so happy they did! Check out the recipe below!
Read MoreIn my opinion, the hardest part about making a Whole30 Pizza is figuring out the crust! Sure, you can use Potato Skins or slices of Sweet Potato as a base, but it just doesn’t have that same pizza crunch. Since recreating a baked good is a big no-no on the Whole30, I decided to get creative with this 4 ingredient pizza “crust”! The crust consist of just a cup of seeds and a bell pepper...THAT’S IT! To keep this pizza crust even more compliant, you don’t even bake it, you dehydrate it! Once the crust is dehydrated, all you have to do it top it with your favorite Whole30 toppings and enjoy!
My boyfriend Jimmy kept his pizza classic and topped it with Pesto Chicken, whereas I dragged mine up into a BBQ Chicken Bacon Pineapple Ranch Masterpiece! Let me know who’s pizza you think looks better and check out the recipe below!
*I’ve also included the conversions for a 12inch and 9inch crust depending on how hungry you are!*
Read MoreSo I eat a lot in the morning, like A LOT, a lot! In addition to Eggs with Bacon or Sausage AND a Collagen Peptide Fruit Smoothie, I also chow down on 1-2 of these Paleo Pumpkin Energy Bars! They’re Whole30 Friendly, great on the go, and are completely guilt free, coming in at only 137 Calories per bar! These have become a staple in my diet and have been consistently in the fridge at all times for the past 3 weeks! They make a great beach snack, and if you top them with almond butter they make a great dessert as well!
Read MoreToday for lunch I whipped up some Whole30 Friendly Teriyaki Wings and if I’m keeping it completely real I ate significantly more than pictured!!! These wings are super crispy, only require a few ingredients, and went amazing with a side of Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing! I’ll definitely be making another batch this weekend!
Last night I tried something totally different and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Recreating a Tortilla based dish while on #Whole30 is tough, but surprisingly Collard Greens were the perfect replacement! These Beef & Pumpkin Enchiladas were not only incredibly filling, but they tasted delicious and are packed with protein! My biggest fear working with Collard Greens was them falling apart, but they were virtually rip proof and super easy to work with! They honestly wrapped better than a flour tortilla! Give it a try and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Read MoreI’ve been craving Nachos all week long, and these Whole30 Sweet Potato Nachos were EXACTLY what I was looking for to cure that craving! The entire meal came together in less than an hour, the ingredients are super simple, and the dish truly sent my taste buds into a Whole30 Heaven! Feel free to top your Nachos however you’d like, but I highly recommend a dollop of Forage Project Sour Cream and a side of Siete Foods Cashew Queso to really create some Next Level Nachos while still staying compliant!
Read MoreThis year I decided to have some family over for a Whole30 Friendly 4th of July and they were not disappointed when I brought out this Whole30/Vegan Cheesecake! I know it’s technically “illegal” on the Whole30 to recreate a dessert, but let’s be real, when you read these ingredients you’ll realize all you’re basically doing is putting a fruit and nut tray in Drag YASSQUEEN! This “cheesecake” is super creamy, taste light and lemon-y, and pairs FABULOUSLY with some fresh strawberries! There are only 10 Ingredients and the cheesecake itself took LESS THAN 10 MINUTES to get together! Check out the recipe below and see for yourself!
