Whole30 Just Launched A Brand-New Line Of Dressings & Sauces — And We Couldn't Be More Excited

A top-notch sauce or dressing can make all the difference in the flavor of a healthy meal. But, unfortunately, most premade dressings you find gracing the shelves of your local grocery store aren't exactly filled with the best ingredients. And making your own dips and sauces at home isn't always a time-friendly option.

That's why mbg was thrilled to find out that Whole30 is launching their own brand-new line of dressings and sauces, available exclusively on Thrive Market. Yes, that means they're made without added sugar, gluten, soy, dairy, gums, fillers, or natural flavors—per Whole30 guidelines.

"Everything we do starts with an idea from the Whole30 community or a pain point we observe," says Urban.

"For years now, we've been hearing people say, 'When I see the Whole30 Approved logo on something, I know right away I can trust the ingredients,'" she says, "I believe many mindbodygreen readers have adopted a specific diet that works best for them, and you don't have to be on a Whole30 to appreciate our high-quality, thoughtfully chosen ingredients."

Still, Urban felt conflicted about launching a branded product: "Our mission has always been to serve the community, not create stuff to sell them. There's a reason the entire Whole30 program has always been free!"

Of all the products to launch with, the Whole30 team made a conscious decision to debut with dressings. "On the Whole30, dressings and sauces are life. They add flavor and variety to meals and are a quick and easy way to pull together simple ingredients," says Urban.

"But it's not always easy to find an added-sugar-free, soy-free, dairy-free option, and I personally had some flavor profiles that I leaned on heavily but was tired of whipping up at home. Did we create a whole product line because I was feeling lazy? Maybe. (Joke's on me, this was two years of incredibly hard work to pull off.)"

OK, so clearly these dressings check all the standard Whole30 boxes, but what else stands out about these bottles?

For starters, the folks at Whole30 prioritized health and environmental impact during product development. "We debated bottle materials (choosing glass over plastic), the bottle size (big enough for a family but not so big it's cost-prohibitive), and especially the dressing base," says Urban. "We considered avocado oil, coconut oil, and extra-virgin olive oil but settled on an expeller-pressed high-oleic sunflower."

Of course, these dressings are a perfect addition to any veggie-rich salad, but Urban loves using them in a variety of ways.

"Marinating is a vastly underrated way to add tenderness and flavor to meat and veggies," she says. "Yes, you have to plan ahead, but even if you can't, a 15-minute marinade of your steak, chicken wings, or cauliflower can work wonders to transform your meal, especially if you drizzle a bit of the same dressing over the top before serving."

The creamier offerings are also fantastic as dips. "Try a meat stick in the Secret Sauce, burned broccoli (it's a thing) in Creamy Balsamic, and your kids' favorite air fryer nuggets in House Ranch."
