Whole30 Snacks: Easy Recipes to Keep You on Track

The Whole30 program places strict rules on your diet — including eliminating added sugar, grains, and dairy from your meals. With all these restrictions in mind, you’ll want to have a Whole30 approved option at the ready to help you stick to the plan while snacking.

If you incorporate enough whole foods like fiber-rich vegetables and plenty of healthy fats into your meals, you may not even need snacks. (In fact, frequent snacking is not recommended by the diet guidelines.)

Some days, though, three meals might not keep you satisfied. Keep these recipes on-hand (either to make fresh or meal prep) to stay on the plan.

From simple snack bites to filling proteins, save these Whole30 recipes to keep you on track all month long.
