I’m always on the look out for delicious recipes that I can adapt to fall under Whole30 criteria.

Simple Whole30 Cucumber & Lox Bites
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here. You cannot go wrong with these simple Whole30 Cucumber and Lox Bites. The five healthy ingredients are quick and easy to work with, making this recipe an appetizer that hits all the marks.

Also, should you choose to omit…

Now that you’re a “mid-lifer”, do you feel old now? I bet some days you do, given all the hormone imbalances your body is adjusting to.
