Real Simple Good came to our rescue! We savored every single meal and genuinely never felt like we were missing out on anything. The food was incredibly flavorful, and the weekly emails clearly outlined how to manage everything without feeling overwhelmed. 5 Stars… 10/10… AMAZING!”
“The Whole30 is indeed challenging, but having a meal plan already put together with such easy and delicious recipes was simply amazing. Furthermore, having the weekly shopping list on top of it all made things incredibly simple. At the time we followed the meal plan, my husband and I were both working full-time. It allowed us to do our shopping and food prep on the weekends, ensuring we had a full week’s worth of meals planned out. Very easy! Embarking on Whole30 with Justin and Erica truly became our lifestyle. Even after the 30 days, we still cook and use their fantastic recipes, and we absolutely love it! And the fact that it’s a free resource is just wonderful! Thank you so much!!!”
“Thank you endlessly for providing me with these meal plans! They were not only incredibly tasty but also made my Whole30 a resounding success! I always believed that if someone could just tell me what to eat, I would finally achieve my weight loss goals… and you made that possible for me. From the helpful emails to the detailed grocery shopping lists and crucial make-ahead tips – everything was so thoughtfully put together and deeply appreciated! I would serve the dinners to my family, and sometimes they even wanted some of the breakfast dishes. My kids and husband loved it!”

Frequently Asked Questions about Whole30
On the Whole30 program, your diet will focus on whole, unprocessed foods. This includes high-quality meat, seafood, and eggs; a wide variety of vegetables and fruits; natural and healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil, and ghee; and a diverse range of herbs, spices, and seasonings to flavor your meals. The guiding principle is to choose foods with a simple or recognizable list of ingredients, or ideally, no ingredients at all because they are whole and unprocessed by nature.
To achieve the full benefits of Whole30, several food groups are strictly excluded for the 30-day period. These include all forms of sugar (real or artificial), alcohol, grains (such as wheat, rice, corn, and oats), dairy products, and most legumes (like beans, peanuts, soy). Additionally, artificial additives such as MSG, sulfites, and carrageenan are to be avoided. The program also discourages “baked goods” or recreating treat-like foods with compliant ingredients, and importantly, you should not step on a scale for the entire 30 days, as the focus is on health benefits beyond weight alone.
While the Whole30 program encourages eating three balanced meals a day to help regulate blood sugar and satiety, snacks are allowed if truly necessary. However, they should be limited and purposeful, focused on whole, compliant foods. The goal is to avoid mindless eating and rely on your main meals for sustained energy. For inspiration, here’s a listing of 30 delicious and compliant Whole30 snacks to help you choose wisely.
For coffee lovers, fear not! While traditional creamers and sugars are out, there are several Whole30-approved options to enjoy your morning cup. You can use unsweetened coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew milk. Additionally, Whole30 approved creamers, such as those from Nutpods, are excellent choices that provide a creamy texture without any non-compliant ingredients.
Unfortunately, popcorn is not allowed on Whole30. Popcorn is derived from corn, which is classified as a grain. Since grains are one of the primary food groups that are restricted during the Whole30 program, popcorn, regardless of how it’s prepared, is off-limits.
The Whole30 reintroduction phase is a crucial period that follows your initial 30 days of strict elimination. During this phase, you systematically reintroduce previously restricted foods—such as grains, dairy, and alcohol—back into your diet, one food group at a time. This careful process allows you to observe how your body reacts to each food, helping you identify any sensitivities or intolerances. It’s an invaluable step for understanding which foods truly serve your health best in the long term. For a comprehensive guide, please refer to our post all about the Whole30 reintroduction.

Ingredients
-
1
green pepper, diced -
1/2
onion, diced -
1 lb
ground beef -
1
batch taco seasoning, (linked below in recipe) -
2 cups
riced cauliflower -
Salt and pepper -
Salsa, avocado, tomatoes, olives, and any other toppings you love -
Spinach + cabbage, (or your favorite greens)
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, over medium heat, add your green pepper and onions to the pan. Cook until the onions are translucent.
-
Add your ground beef. Break it up and stir everything around. Continue to cook on low to medium heat, depending on your stove.
-
While the meat is cooking, toss the cauliflower rice on the stove in a medium sized skillet, over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. It will cook in just a few minutes. I like to cover my pan so it speeds up the cooking a bit and kind of steams the cauliflower rice.
-
When the ground beef is just about done, add your taco seasoning and stir until the ground beef, green peppers, and onions are coated.
-
When the ground beef is finished cooking, turn off the heat. Turn off the heat on the cauliflower rice, and start making your bowls.
-
Add a bunch of your favorite greens to your bowl first. We use spinach and/or kale usually depending on what is in the fridge. Then add your cauliflower rice next. The ground beef goes on top of the rice. Then add your favorite toppings. We like to put cabbage, fresh tomatoes, olives, avocado, salsa and homemade chipotle aioli.
-
Get to eating these bowls up! They are bursting with flavor and are filling too!
