Finding family friendly Whole30 recipes your whole family will eat can be a struggle. Even finding healthy, real food recipes that are family friendly when you’re not on a Whole30 can be tough all on it’s own! Having some easy weeknight dinners or recipes that are both Whole30 compliant, paleo and something your kids or spouse will eat and enjoy is so important to a successful Whole30.

One of the biggest complaints I hear about Whole30, or just parents who are trying to make a healthy lifestyle switch is that they have to make multiple meals because their kids won’t eat what they make. So they end up cooking for themselves and for their family and that’s a lot of work, and could easily lead to giving up on your health goals. Family friendly meals are so, so key!

These family friendly Whole30 recipes are ones I’ve had my friends with kids look over for their approval, or ones that I know have been made and loved by the entire family – Whole30 or not! And really, couldn’t we all benefit from having a wholesome dinner every once in a while anyways?! These recipes will help you out there.

The recipes included are sectioned by category from breakfast, side dishes, wings, beef… you get the point! Long story short here is that there is definitely something for every family, meal time, and lots of these are quick 30 minute meals, or sheet pan meals, or make great meal prep!

Can I eat Chick Fil A fries on Whole30? ›

For that reason we do not allow commercially-prepared fries or chips, or deep-frying starchy veggies and turning them into fries or chips during your Whole30. (However, if you want to roast some kale until it's crispy, or thinly slice jicama into a scoop for your guacamole, be our guest.)

While Chick-fil-A can be very keto-friendly, and many people consider it a healthier fast-food option, their Whole30 options are actually very limited. Unlike fast-food spots like McDonald's or Wendy's, there are no real meat options since Chick-fil-A strictly serves chicken.

Is diarrhea common on Whole30? ›

Is oatmeal allowed on Whole30? ›

When you're on Whole30, toast, cereal, and oatmeal won't fly. But that doesn't mean you have to eat a plate of boring scrambled eggs each and every day. These casseroles, egg cups, breakfast stacks, and more will have you looking forward to your morning meal—and full way beyond your morning commute.

Can you eat gluten-free on Whole30? ›

Yes, the Whole30 Program should be gluten-free if you make sure any processed foods you consume are not made with gluten, including your herbs, spices, and seasonings. Seasonings, in particular, could contain wheat or wheat starch that has not been processed to remove gluten.

No grains.

This includes wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, sprouted grains, and all gluten-free pseudo-cereals like quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat. This also includes all the ways we add wheat, corn, and rice into our foods in the form of bran, germ, starch, and so on.
