12 Healthy, Delicious (Whole30) Lunch Recipes!
Let’s kick things off with this meal prep chicken breast recipe. I know, I know, it’s not an entire lunch BUT these Juicy Cooktop Chicken Breasts save me when I am on Whole30. I make these breasts and use them for days served with a side of vegetables, or sliced up and added to salads or soups. Seriously a life saver!
This is my easiest Whole30 lunch ever, Five Minute Egg Drop Soup! Just broth and eggs, but I also love to add avocado slices and/or the pre-prepped chicken posted above!
One of the things I love most about Whole30 is it really makes you into a better cook. When you aren’t eating grains, soy, dairy, legumes, or sugar you need to get creative with textures and flavors to keep things interesting and avoid food boredom. These extraordinary Jalapeño Turkey Burgers are a perfect example of a next level Whole30 meal.
Next up: Whole30 One Pan Chicken and Asparagus! I love this recipe because not only is it delicious, but it’s prepped in minutes, then you just pop it in the oven and go about your business.
Ahhhh the Lemony Shrimp Stir Fry Bowl! Talk about flavor, color and nutrients, this bowl has is all, and if you buy riced cauliflower instead of chopping your own, it takes 15-20 minutes to make.
This Grilled Salmon and Cauliflower Rice is so darn good. It’s loaded with veggies, protein and healthy fats!
Keep the eyes and the belly happy with these Paleo Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes from Calm Eats!
The Best Homemade Chicken Salad from me, The Organic Kitchen. Serve alone, on a bed of lettuce, or in half of an avocado and enjoy!
This is The Organic Kitchen’s Grilled Avocado Cobb Salad (Keto-Paleo-Whole30). This salad packed with protein, healthy fats, and flavor, while remaining low in carbs and gluten and dairy free!
There is nothing like a Chopped Salad with Ranch Dressing!
Look at the color of this Rainbow Salad with Grilled Chicken and Raspberry Walnut Dressing from A Calculated Whisk!
Ground Turkey Brussels Sprouts Skillet from My Heart Beets: good old fashioned comfort food.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy these 12 Healthy, Delicious (Whole30) Lunch Recipes!

Okay…EVERY single one of these recipes sounds amazing, Linda! I’m not a big fan of avocado, unfortunately, but I’d totally try them stuffed with chicken salad…YUM all around!
Not a fan of avocado?! That is unheard of in California lol.

they all look good but I know I will try the sweet potato buns first.
I really shouldn’t look at these when I’m hungry because I want to eat my computer screen. These look so delicious! Even if you don’t mention, “whole30”, these are amazing Linda!
I agree these are just good meals, W30 or not!
So many great, healthy options! These are all beautiful! I don’t know what I’d start with, but I think anything with avocados included 🙂

Are we allowed goat cheese on the Whole30? Please let me know.
Thank you,
Rosalba
No dairy at all is allowed on Whole 30. Your comment made me wonder why you asked and I searched through these recipes and realized you must have been talking about the filling of the spiralized sweet potato buns. The buns themselves are compliant. The filling is not.
