Let's address the elephant in the room first. According to the official Whole30 rules, desserts are not allowed. Womp. BUT, if you need something sweet to get you through, we're here to help. It's a hard 30 days, but with some slight variations, fruity desserts, smoothies, and coconut cream you can make it through. So, if you're game to bend the rules, here are some options that are at least compliant.
