January often means the start of healthier habits. Whether that translates to working out more, stressing less or eating better, it’s often the month where we all bring more awareness into certain aspects of our life. For those who vow to be cognizant of what they put in their bodies, Whole30 might be the right choice for you. The restrictive regime, which cuts things like sugar, dairy, grains, alcohol from participants’ diets, is a challenge for those who want to experience a “short-term nutrition reset,” according to the practice’s website.
While it may sound extreme, it’s not impossible. The real trick to getting through that 30-day period is planning ahead, which can often mean cooking more and eating out less. But if you just so happen to forget to bring, or make, your perfect Pinterest-inspired lunch to work, never fear. There are lots of places right here in Southlake that can accommodate your needs. All you have to do is know what to order.
Eating healthy on the go is easy with Snap Kitchen. And with options for paleo, keto, vegan, gluten-free and Whole30 diners, everyone can find something delicious to enjoy. With lunch options like Chopped Brisket with BBQ Sauce and Havana Beef, you won’t feel like you are missing out on anything. If cooking is just straight up not your thing and you still want to give Whole30 a try, Snap Kitchen also offers meal plans that can accommodate the diet.
You heard it here first. You could eat every meal every day at Chiptole and still be on a diet. While that’s not necessarily recommended, their Whole30 Lifestyle Bowl is a great quick lunch to pick up on a busy day. It features romaine lettuce, carnitas pork, fajita veggies, salsa and guacamole. So while you may be missing your rice and beans base, it’s not that far off from a typical Chiptole order.
Nothing is sadder to take a bite of than a dry salad. No one wants just a mouthful of lettuce, so treat yourself to something more elevated at Snappy Salads. The chain lets customers build their own meals using their variety of fruits and veggies, and they offer a variety of dressings that are all Whole30 friendly. Top yours off with their Greek Vinaigrette, Balsamic Vinaigrette or South Texas Salsa to make sure you are left satisfied before carrying on with the rest of your day.
If you like having options while eating out, then Zoes Kitchen’s Whole30 menu is for you. They have a great selection of entrees, like their Shrimp Kabobs, Moroccan Citrus Roasted Chicken and Greek Salad, to choose from. Plus, four of their sauces are Whole30 approved: Zoes Dressing, Israeli Skhug, Italian Salsa Verde and Moroccan Harissa. Order one up with a side of roasted vegetables, fresh fruit or, most surprisingly, their potato salad, and you should be set until your next meal time rolls around.
