30 Whole30 Lunch Ideas (2024)

If you are following the Whole30 meal plan then you will definitely want a lot of variety for meals! Here are 30 Whole30 lunch ideas with everything from salads to wraps to warm and delicious soups to help keep you on track for your 30 days!

30 Whole30 Lunch Ideas

The whole30 is quite a commitment, and for me the key to success was creating a variety to eat and prepping ahead. When you make a big meal for dinner, then leftovers are always a great option for lunch but when you need something different, quick or on the go for lunch then these recipes just might be perfect. You will find sections below for salads, soups, wraps, and even a few bonus recipes to keep you stocked with new and delicious lunch options for 30 days so you never have to eat the same thing twice if you don’t want to!

Almost all of these recipes are ready and Whole 30 compliant as written. There may be a few that need very slight modifications such as not adding cheese or serving with bread, but it should not alter the recipe significantly or be hard to identify how to make the recipe compliant.

If you are new to the Whole30, check out this Whole30 starter kit from Thrive Market. It has some of the most popular items you need while cooking on the Whole30. Also, make sure you also check out the OVER 50 Whole30 dinner ideasand 30 Whole30 Breakfast ideasI have here. I separated them by chicken, beef, pork, and seafood to make it super easy to meal plan! As a bonus, many of these dinner leftovers made my favorite lunches… especially the burrito bowls!
