Finding delicious Whole30 recipes isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely worth it. After all, eliminating entire groups of your favorite things—grains, dairy, sugar, legumes, and alcohol—for a month is a real challenge, even if it’s supposed to reset your relationship with your body. Still, just because you can’t have mac and cheese doesn’t mean your life is over. Luckily, we found 70 great Whole30 recipes that just so happen to follow the rules (seriously, a coincidence!). We’re talking satisfying chicken stews, brunch-worthy egg dishes, and a seriously stacked lineup of seafood dishes. Who knows? You might even want to make it Whole 365.
