100 Plant Based Whole30 Recipes

As we approach the new year, I’ve been hearing about many of you who want to try the Whole30 in January which I think is great! However, I’ve also been receiving several questions like, “How do I do the Whole30 without eating a ton of meat?” or… “Is there a way to do the Whole30 by focusing more on vegetables?” And the answer is, HECK YES.

I don’t know why there is such a widely accepted perception that going paleo or Whole30 is so meat heavy. While I do include some kind of protein in all my meals because that’s what makes me feel the best, that’s only a small portion of my plate. 70-80% of my diet is actually vegetables. I love all the micronutrients that I get from eating a large amount of plants and veggies so that’s what I like to focus on.

And to help you do the same for your Whole30 challenge, I put together 100 plant based Whole30 recipes from myself and my fellow bloggers that are healthy and so delicious. While some of these recipes do include meat, vegetables are the star of the dish and make up the majority of the ingredients. I hope this round-up helps you realize that a veggie-heavy Whole30 challenge is definitely possibly and can even be quite easy!

    It says plant based, but there is lamb, eggs, bacon, etc….

    1. Jean Choi says:

      Plant based doesn’t mean vegan or vegetarian, or I would have labeled them them that way. Plant based means making up of mostly plants, and veggies are the focus of the dish.

      1. Wendy says:

        Plant Based Whole30 is no animal protein, animal fat or dairy products. The title is misleading with them releasing the Plant Based Whole30 program.

        1. Jean Choi says:

          Yes, I agree. I created this post before plant based Whole30 (the program) existed! I’m working on updating this post. Stay tuned!
