It’s here!! You asked for an ALDI Whole30 shopping list and at first I honestly had no idea what ALDI was. But after the great response from my lists for Trader Joes, Target, Sprouts, Ralphs, Costco, Amazon and Thrive Market, I thought I better find out more about this store. I looked it up and found that there was actually one about 30 minutes away! I got my camera and took off out the door. The ALDI I went into was at first glance, packed with non-compliant food like products, but once I dug deeper and looked at pretty much every label, I found a few gems for my Whole30ers! I know eating clean can be daunting at first once you get the hang of reading labels, going shopping can be easy, and I hope I made your next trip to ALDI a bit easier with this list. I would love any other recommendations for Whole30 lists and I will get to it right away. For now, enjoy this list of goods and some recipes you can use them in!
Guacamole
Both of these options have clean ingredients and are great to add on top of frittatas or salsa chicken bowls!
Nuts
They have tons of nuts at ALDI that are clean and I love to make my own nut butter with them! They are also great to crush up and put on salads or bread chicken with. I love spreading nut butter on sweet potato toast!
Frozen Veggies
I love adding frozen veggie to frittatas and cauliflower rice! They are so handy to keep in the freezer when you are in a pinch.
Marinara
Finding a clean marinara is huge on Whole30!! I love adding marinara on top of meat and veggies if it seems a little boring. My favorite recipe to use marinara in is my Cheeseless Chicken Parm! *** NOTE: It seems that some stores have this compliant version, and some stores have the same one with added sugar – probably depending on where you live. Be sure to check your labels always!
Salsa
Salsa is another easy pre-made and flavorful sauce that goes great with my Salsa Chicken or on your eggs in the morning!
Clean oils
They have a great organic line at ALDI from Extra Virgin Olive Oil to Coconut Oil. I love using coconut oil when cooking things in a hot pan and olive oil for dressings on salad!
Produce
Of course produce is always whole30 compliant but there were some awesome easy to cook packs of veggies like these sweet potatoes!
Kombucha
If you are a wine drinker, you have to get on the kombucha train. I love having a glass of kombucha with dinner
Chia Seeds
I love adding chia seeds to just about anything for added fiber and fat! Sprinkling them on the almond butter on my sweet potato toast might be my fave!
Whole30 on a budget. From marinara to guacamole there are so many options!
Let me know in the comments below if you found anything else compliant at ALDI!

I’ve been to Aldi for a quick stop, my daughter shared your blog with me, and I’ll have to say I did see the chia seeds, but I was on the fence on weather to try their brand or not. Then she pointed your blog with the coconut oil, and I’m so glad she did. Because I also was afraid to try their pasta sauce, picky on my gravies lol but I’m actually gonna try their brand. Thank you
Awesome! I hope it was helpful!!
We are at an Aldi right now and ALL types of Marina, including all the specifics above, list organic cane sugar and organic soybean oil in the ingredients.
I have heard there are different types that are in different states! The one I had was compliant but I guess not all are!
Thank you for all of these lists! Huge help and greatly appreciated! I made your Whole30 Orange Chicken, and my entire family LOVED it. My dad was even in town visiting and he couldnt get enough, and he is the furthest thing from a “clean eater” and Panda Express is his go to. Thanks again!
That is great news!! So glad you liked it!!
Thank you for doing these lists! I don’t have time to do a lot of research and need to save where I can. I hope mine has the compliant marinara! I love Aldi!
Fingers crossed!! So glad they are helpful!
My Aldi here in Kansas City has compliant marinara. No added sugars or oils. And it is TASTY!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’m going to make my second attempt at Whole30 as I only lasted 2 weeks during my first one. The last time I attempted it, there was no Aldi so this will definitely be good to check out when I try it in January.
Awesome! Good luck!!
Their prosciutto is the same as Trader Joe’s and they have a sugar free bacon. Yum.
I love Aldi and always shop there. Thanks for the list, there are a few items I havent tried, but will definitely try now!
Great!!
I was at the Aldi near my daughter’s last weekend and they had ghee! I’m hoping they have it at ours as well.
The biggest Whole 30 find was there “Never Any” chicken and spinach sausage. Just make sure you get the plain chicken and spinach and not the one with feta.
