Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated
On the Whole30, you can’t just wing it. Planning at least a few days of meals helps you shop with confidence, cook with ease, and save money. It also keeps you from aspirationally buying all the veggies, and having to toss some out at the end of the week. (No judgment.)
When it comes to meal planning, you have options. You can DIY using the hundreds of recipes here and in our cookbooks. You can push a button and generate 30 days of customizable meals, plus an automated shopping list. You can skip chopping, cooking, and dishes altogether and let us cook for you. (That’s a thing!)
We’ve also got tons of articles for meal planning on a budget, finding Whole30 ingredients in your favorite grocery stores, and keeping it simple with our 5-ingredient meals. You can use a spreadsheet, if you’re into that, but you certainly don’t have to.

How will you meal plan?
Whether you use the official Whole30 meal planning app, order Whole30 meal delivery, or bust out your cookbooks and a highlighter, we know you’ll be eating well.
If you’re doing the Original Whole30, we sure can! Skip the slicing, sautéing, and scrubbing with Made By Whole30 meals. You can order a box “just in case,” or put 6-12 meals on subscription for those busy days. They feature chef-crafted, delicious recipes, with regional menus that rotate weekly. The best part? They’re delivered fresh, straight to your door.
Meal planning isn’t just for meals. You’ll want some “emergency food” for a quick breakfast, running errands, or any time you need a snack to tide you over. The Daily Harvest Whole30 Smoothie Box is just the thing. You’ll get a dozen frozen smoothies packed with veggies, six of which include 20 grams of built-in protein. Add them to your Original or Plant-Based Whole30 meal plan and know your “just in case” is covered.
Yeah, we’ve got that too. Plan 30 days of Original or Plant-Based Whole30 meals with just a few clicks with Real Plans—the official Whole30 meal planning app. Customize your plan with your tastes and preferences, portion sizes, and even your kitchen equipment. Choose from over 1,000 Whole30 recipes, revise your plan with a simple drag-and-drop, and generate automated shopping lists. You can even connect that list to your Instacart account!
Make your Original Whole30 meal plan
All you really need to meal plan are some delicious Whole30 recipes, a shopping list, and our meal template. Use the template to build your Whole30 plate; we’ll give you general guidelines for protein, added fat, veggies, and fruit.
Our FREE Starter Kit includes a printable version of the Whole30 Program Rules, shopping list, meal-planning template, and 15 recipes from Melissa Urban’s bestselling cookbooks. (Available for the Original and Plant-Based Whole30.)
You don’t have to cook from recipes. One of our favorite meal planning strategies involves “ingredient meals.” Cook some protein, prep some veggies, add some fruit if you want, and tie it all together with a dressing or sauce. You’ll be amazed at how delicious whole food ingredients can taste, once you’ve got the formula down.
Whole30 co-founder Melissa Urban takes this one step further with her “recipe blueprints.” These three templates allow you to cook once, and enjoy a variety of flavors for the next day or two. (Sound like magic? It kind of is!)
