If I want to have a successful Whole30, these are my top 6 items I must have. These are my quick grab and gos. I always have multiple on hand…just incase I run out. Of course, this list could have been way longer, but these are my staple items. I’m also doing my first giveaway! I want to share some of my favorite items with you. Learn more over on my Instagram.
Tuna
I always have multiple cans of tuna on hand. It’s easy to grab and throw on top of a salad, make tuna salad or eat out of the can if you need a quick protein in the morning. Finding tuna without soy or some other weird ingredients can be hard. I love Trader Joe’s brand. It’s simple ingredients and pretty cheap.
Frank’s RedHot
I normally don’t eat hot sauce, but since starting paleo, I crave more flavors and Frank’s is my favorite. It’s perfect on chicken (when I do eat it), mixed with mayonnaise and eggs. My true favorite is Frank’s on eggs and potatoes. I always buy the biggest bottle because I tend to go through fairly quickly.
RX Bars
Oh man. RX Bars are absolutely amazing. It’s really one of those items I have to be super mindful about when I’m eating. Am I eating it just because? Or am I truly hungry? I’ve done really good lately of saving these for after work, but before a workout. It’s the perfect little something to hold me over until I can eat dinner.
Silk Cashew Milk
I really wish I made my own cashew milk…I really do, but I feel like I’d go through it way too fast and constantly be making it. Every morning I pour tons of Silk Cashew Milk Unsweetened Vanilla in my coffee. Creamy coffee is my favorite and this is how I make it. It’s also a great substitue for cow’s milk in random recipes!
Mayonnaise
I try to make my own mayonnaise more often than not. It’s easy to make and use when I’m craving tuna salad, but sometimes I’m in a rut and need something easy. I’ll use a scoop of this mayonnaise in with my tuna for a quick tuna salad. Unfortunately, it does have canola oil, so it’s not recommended for Whole30.
Olives
Olive bars are truly my best friend. I always make sure to have black olives or a random mix of olives on hand for a healthy fat. I can only eat so many avocados before I’ve just had it, and olives are an easy grab and go choice.

January 25, 2017 at 9:36 amI am so bad at making my own mayo! It looks perfect at first, but after a day or two in the fridge it becomes really hard and then separates when I go to use it. I think maybe my fridge is too cold? Anyway, I’ve come to really appreciate Primal Kitchen mayo because it’s whole30 compliant and uses avocado oil! It’s a little pricey compared to regular brands, but the convenience is worth it for me.
January 25, 2017 at 10:31 amWOW! Amazing job! I need to try and include some of these items in my food intake. Thanks for sharing!
January 25, 2017 at 11:02 amI’ve never done a Whole 30 and I’m honestly a little scared to try it, but I could probably eat anything with Frank’s on it! 🙂
January 25, 2017 at 12:12 pmIt seems intimidating at first – but I get’s a lot easier with time. Oh my gosh, I love Frank’s too. Seriously, obsessed 🙂
January 25, 2017 at 12:23 pmI recently learned about Whole 30 and it’s pretty intimidated for a cheeseburger lovin’ person like me! haha So bravo to you! I’ll definitely tag a friend on Instagram who recently started this program.
January 25, 2017 at 12:49 pmThank you!! It gets easier with time, promise 🙂
January 25, 2017 at 12:53 pmI’m not doing Whole 30 but I LOVE RX Bars. They are so good and so filing. Actually, I eat a lot of all of those things, maybe I should do Whole 30.

January 25, 2017 at 5:32 pmI’ve been curious about cashew milk, but have still not tried it!

January 26, 2017 at 10:26 amI love cashew milk! My son has a milk allergy and this is what we use now.
January 26, 2017 at 7:43 amI find it to be creamier than almond milk! Love that y’all use it!
