Every once in a while (especially after a holiday weekend), my body needs a reset. It needs a simplified break from added junk and processed food, which brings us to the Whole30 Program.
At first Whole30 may feel a little overwhelming. No sugar, no additives, no grains, no dairy, no soy, no alcohol, no legumes, no peanuts, no sulfates, no MSG . . . just real food. Which I won't argue, sounds a little tough. But when you think about it, it's really just the basics: fruit, veggies, healthy fats, and good protein. Grass-fed meats, wild-caught fish, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
It's designed to be a life-altering program to help get your body (and mind) back on track, feeling and working at its most optimal level. Sometimes, especially if you're busy and always on the go like me, however, meal prepping isn't that easy. Sometimes, you just need a grab-and-go snack that's Whole30-friendly and tastes good. Be it as a backup in my bag in case a meeting runs long or in my carry-on for a flight (especially after that Gordon Ramsay confession).
After our Best Vegan Finds at Trader Joe's, I decided to take a stab at a Whole30 version. We all know, veggies (like organic carrot sticks and cauliflower florets) and fresh fruit (berries, watermelon, etc.) are part of the Whole30 program. Which is why I scoured for some snack picks that weren't just your typical Whole30 finds. These are some Whole30-friendly snacks that you can grab on the go or keep in your desk for the munchies that will still help you feel strong during your 30 days.
Best of luck on your Whole30 plan and happy snacking!
