Whole30 meal plan for dinner

• Lean Meats: Grilled chicken, steak, or pork chops for a hearty meal.
• Fresh Vegetables: Roasted or sautéed broccoli, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts.
• Sweet Potatoes: Baked or roasted as a healthy carb option.
• Healthy Fats: Cook with olive oil or top dishes with avocado slices.
• Herbs and Spices: Use garlic, rosemary, and thyme for flavor.

• Processed Foods: No frozen dinners or pre-packaged meals.
• Sugary Sauces: Avoid BBQ sauce, ketchup, and other sweetened condiments.
• Dairy Products: No cheese, butter, or cream-based sauces.
• Grains: No rice, pasta, or bread.
• Legumes: No beans, lentils, or chickpeas.

To make your Whole30 dinners more diverse and flavorful, consider these substitutions:

• For a different protein option, duck breast can replace pork chops, offering a richer flavor with high protein content.
• To vary your squash intake, acorn squash can replace butternut squash, offering a different flavor and texture.
• For a new vegetable option, bok choy can replace green beans, offering a crunchy texture and a mild flavor.
• To add more leafy greens, spinach can replace Brussels sprouts, providing a tender, nutrient-rich alternative.
• For a different seasoning option, oregano can replace basil, offering a robust flavor that pairs well with many dishes.

Save money by planning your meals around sales and using affordable cuts of meat and seasonal vegetables. Cooking larger portions allows for leftovers that can be used for lunch the next day. Embrace one-pot meals like stews and casseroles that are both cost-effective and easy to prepare. Incorporate beans and lentils as budget-friendly protein sources.
