Best Whole30-approved snacks
Easy DIY Whole30 snacks
1.Barney Butter Almond Butterwith celery sticks
When you’re in the middle of aWhole30, it’s easy to focus on all the things you can’t eat. Keeping compliant spreads, dips, and sauces on hand can help you get creative with the ordinary snacks in your fridge or pantry.
There are so many ways to enjoy this creamy almond butter as a Whole30 snack:
2.Artisana Raw Coconut Butterwith sweet potato “toast”
Speaking of tasty condiments, we also love the way Artisana takes one ingredient —coconut— and turns it into something silky, spreadable, and slightly sweet.
Some keto-eating reviewers report eating this raw coconut butter right out of the jar, but we’re not so sure that’s the Whole30 way. Try spreading it onsweet potato“toast,” tossing it with fresh-cut fruit, or stuffing a teaspoon into a juicy date for a luxurious bite.
3.Primal Kitchen Avocado MayoandDijon Mustarddeviled eggs
Wanna whip up a fun Whole30 snack to share?Deviled eggsare an easy choice.
To makedeviled eggs, mash the yolks ofhard-boiled eggswith a blend of Whole30-compliant mayo and mustard with white vinegar, salt, and pepper, and then spoon the mixture back into the egg whites.
4.Tessemae’s Organic Creamy Ranch Dressingwith veggies
It doesn’t take much effort to slice a cucumber or red pepper, pair it with some baby carrots, and dip ’em in Whole30-compliant ranch dressing.Tessemae’s Organic Creamy Ranch Dressingchecks all the right boxes with its emulsification ofdairy-free, sugar-free ingredients.
Plus, reviewers call this bottle of ranch a Whole30 must-have.
5.SunButter Organic Sunflower Butterwith fruit
One of the easiest Whole30 snacks on the planet is fresh fruit dipped innut butter. But why not get fancy with creamySunButter Organic Sunflower Butter? The regular version contains some added sugar, so check the label and make sure you’re grabbing the organic variety. Bon appétit!
6.Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauceon… anything
Sometimes all it takes is the perfect sauce to zhuzh up plain cauliflower,broccoli, cubed chicken, or even scrambled eggs.Primal Kitchen Buffalo Saucegets its creaminess from heart-healthy cashews and its spicy kick from anti-inflammatorycayenne peppers.
We think Whole30 snacks get a whole lot easier (and tastier) when paired with the right dipping sauce. If you’re not into this sauce, check out Primal Kitchen’sbarbecue sauceorvinaigrette(yep, both play nice with Whole30).
Plant-based Whole30 snacks
7.Annie Chun’s Organic Seaweed
Whether you opt for a bag of the sea salt, sea salt and vinegar, sesame, orwasabivariety, this seaweed is a crunchy snack that rivals Whole30 no-no potato chips.
Seaweed’somega-3content makes it super nourishing for your heart and brain. Why not dial up the nutrients while you dial down the processed carbs?
8.RockIt Snacks Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Craving something crunchy and savory? Look no further. RockIt Snacks’pumpkinseeds come in three flavor-dusted varieties: nacho, ranch, andsea salt. And yes, they’re all Whole30-approved.
9.Fisher Oven-Roasted Cashews
It doesn’t get much simpler than lightly salted oven-roastedcashews.
And don’t let cashews’ high fat content fool you. These nutters are brimming withheart-healthy unsaturated fatsandantioxidants.
10.RxBar (blueberry)
TBH, RxBars can be kinda controversial on the Whole30 foodie forums. That’s because some of them contain chocolate. Sure, there’s no added sugar, but it’s stillchocolate, which isn’t considered Whole30-friendly.
The blueberry RxBars contain no such blurred lines. Like all RxBars, they’re sweetened with dates, made with nuts, and glued together withegg whites.
If blueberries aren’t your thing, look for other RxBar flavors without peanuts, chocolate, or maple.
11.Larabar Lemon Bar
Like RxBars, some Larabar products contain ingredients that don’t fit the Whole30 plan. Fortunately for lemon lovers, this citrus treat is considered Whole30-compliant.
With just six ingredients, including decadent dates and creamycashews, these sweet treats are easy to toss into your bag or desk drawer for a midafternoon pick-me-up.
Curious about other Whole30-friendly Larabars? Trykey lime pie,cherry pie, orcashew cookie.

While Ayoba’s spicy beef brings the heat, Epic toes the sweet-and-spicy line for the type of folks who love barbecue and hot pepper jelly.
