Toppings pictured are sliced avocado with some everything but the bagel seasoning salt and almond butter with blueberries. You can really use anything that sounds good for toppings. We like to add on some healthy fats and leftover protein to make this a true “mini-meal”.
To make sweet potato “toast”, slice a sweet potato into thin slices, about 1/4 inch in thickness. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 400°. After 10 minutes, flip the potatoes over and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

When is it ok to snack during my Whole30?
First things first, doing a Whole30 is not only life changing but habit changing as well. A lot of snacking is habit based and not actually based on feelings of true hunger. When you go through your Whole30, you’ll need examine your snacking habits and determine when you are truly hungry and need a snack vs. wanting a snack just for a treat or out of habit.
A good way to determine if you are truly hungry and need a snack is to ask yourself this question (Source the Whole30 website) – “Am I hungry enough to eat steamed fish and broccoli?” If the answer is yes, you’re legitimately hungry; go eat a snack! If the answer is, “No, but I’d eat an RXBAR/trail mix/scoop of almond butter” you’re just having a craving–no snack for you!”
What should my Whole30 snacks look like?
Ideally, a Whole30 snack should just be a “mini-meal”. You know the Whole30 meal template? Follow that and you’ll be fine. Try to eat a snack with protein, fat and carbs (a small portion of leftover dinner is the best example). These will be the most satiating snacks that will get you through to your next meal.
Can I eat popcorn on the Whole30?
Unfortunately, no. Grains are not allowed during the Whole30 and popcorn is made from a grain (corn). Don’t worry, it’s only 30 days! You can try popcorn again if you want to during your Whole30 reintroduction.
The best Whole30 snack
Even though we made this listing, we believe that the best Whole30 snack is actually an easy one – leftovers! Since you are already cooking Whole30 compliant meals, it’s easy to plan for and make a little extra in case you need a snack.
We utilize leftovers in our Whole30 meal plans to help you save time by cooking less. Make sure you check out our Whole30 meal plans and any of our Whole30 recipes, we have tons of options for you!
