What is Whole30?
If you’re already eating Whole30, you likely know the answer to this. But if you’re hosting a friend who’s following Whole30, you might be wondering what that entails. First off, kudos to you for being such a thoughtful host! Whole30 is all about returning to the basics. It’s a 30-day nutritional reset focused on eating wholesome, unprocessed ingredients. This means cutting out sugars, sweeteners, legumes, grains, dairy, and alcohol. Instead, the focus is on enjoying lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, fresh herbs, and healthy fats. People choose Whole30 for a variety of reasons, whether it’s to enhance overall well-being, reset dietary habits, boost energy levels, or identify food sensitivities. So, let’s get into it – here is a collection of my favorite Whole30 Thanksgiving recipes!
Whole30 potatoes and squash sides
What is a Thanksgiving spread without potatoes and squash? These staples are essential to any fall or winter feast, and Thanksgiving is no exception. When it comes to eating spuds and squash on Whole30, you’ve got plenty of options. This smashed sweet potato will complement your meaty main. With pecans, thyme, and garlic, they tick all the Thanksgiving flavor boxes. Make sure to use ghee instead of butter to keep them Whole30 compliant. Keep it classic with some crispy roasted potatoes or roasted acorn squash – two timeless favorites. And if you’re a fan of texture on your potatoes, don’t go past these mini hasselback potatoes.
