Is there a Whole30 Compliant Chipotle Order? Can I eat out at all when Iโm on a Whole30? When youโre doing a Whole30, you are probably cooking and eating IN a lot more than you did before you started.
What I find typically happens is you get a pent-up feeling, and you just want to eat out SOMEWHEREโฆ ANYWHERE!
Thatโs why Iโm here to help!
Eating out while on Whole30 can be hard for a few reasonsโฆ Firstly, most restaurants donโt disclose their ingredient lists online. Some do have allergen lists, so you at least know if something has gluten or dairy. But thatโs not enough to know if it has off-limits preservatives, oils that are off-limits, sneaky sugars, and the list goes on!
Secondly, it can be hard to remember what kinds of questions to ask the serverโฆ Or, thereโs even the chance that the server/ cook doesnโt even know if some of the food is pre-made.
It can be hard for me personally to recommend restaurants to you, because I donโt know whatโs locally available to you! So I decided to start sharing with you Whole30 finds at national chains that are likely available close to you! Even if you donโt have a Chipotle near you, you may travel and find one, or hopefully another post like this one will resonate with you!
If you have any particular restaurants youโd like to see included in my list of Whole30 Compliant finds at Restaurants, let me know in the comments below!
One of my favorite places to eat out while weโre doing a Whole30 is Chipotle! This is also an important restaurant to start with, because I think a lot of people assume all of the meats are compliant, but they surprisingly arenโt! All of the meats at Chipotle except for the carnitas are actually cooked in rice bran oil, which isnโt compliant for your Whole30.
Your Whole30 Compliant Chipotle Order:
- burrito bowl or salad
- Carnitas
- Guacamole
- Salsa- Tomatillo Green Chili
- Salsa- Tomatillo Red Chili
- Salsa- Tomato (Pico de Gallo)
Note that none of the Chipotle salad dressings are compliant, also because of the rice bran oil that they use.
As far as Whole30 compliant drinks at Chipotle, youโre pretty limited. Most Chipotles serve unsweetened ice tea, which is Whole30 compliant. You can also always get water!
I hope this helps you navigate Chipotle on your Whole30! Be sure to share below other restaurants where youโd like to see me offer Whole30 Compliant options.
Great info- but doesnโt the burrito bowl have rice?
Hey Emily! I order the burrito bowl without rice or beans because they give me SO much more meat!! Then I just ask for extra lettuce! No rice or beans ๐
I believe the new chorizo is compliant too if you have that in your area ??
Youโre so right- thank you for reminding me!!
