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!

Hi. I have looked into that marinara at my Aldi, and it contains soybean oil and organic sugar, both of which are not Whole 30 compliant 🙁
There must be a few kinds because this one definitely had clean ingredients! Not sure if they are different at different stores!
We get our marinara there too and it’s clean. There are 2 types, you have to read ingredients. One does not have added sugar.
Yes!! So glad you found it too, thought I might be going crazy! Haha Thanks Lisa!!
They also have 100% grass fed ground beef, prosciutto, sunbutter, turkey burger patties.
Good to know!! I didn’t see that at mine!! 🙂
Their fresh salsa is Whole 30 compliant and DELICIOUS!
Oh that is great to know!!
We just had an Aldi open near us over the weekend. They have freeze dried strawberries that don’t have any added sugar. We also found some good, cheap spices!
Oh that is great to know!!
Our cashews have peanut oil added so always check labels!
Just got done with my Whole30 and did the majority of my shopping at Aldi. My favorite things to get for Whole30 are frozen veggies and beef. I think it’s the best price anywhere for grass fed ground beef! I also saw sockeye frozen salmon for a great price and hope to try it soon. It made my meal planning much simpler because you’re limited on what you can get!
That is awesome!! Thanks for letting me know!!
I’ve been getting pistachios and the roasted almonds at ours. The other nuts (cashews) are roasted in peanut oil.
Good to know!! Thanks!!
Would love a Sams club list!
Would also love a Sams Club list. I do most of my shopping at Aldi’s, but do the rest of it at Sam’s, and sometimes Kroger, Publix and the dreaded Walmart, depending on what I am looking for and cannot find at Aldi’s or Sam’s.
They also have complaint fruit strips https://www.aldi.us/en/grocery-home/aldi-brands/simplynature/snacks-sweets/snacks-detail/ps/p/simplynature-strawberry-fruit-strips/and flavored carbonated water like la croix called belle vie.
the Simple Nature Organic Tomato Basil Premium Pasta Sauce has no added sugar or oils.
