Vegan/ Gluten free/ Processed sugar free
A healthy alternative to traditional pad thai which usually contains lots of oil and salt. My recipe uses nourishing vegetable noodles which are made using a spiralizer. If you have never heard of or used one I highly recommend it for a healthy alternative to wheat noodles. You may have noticed me using it in other recipes like my ZUCCHINI PESTO SPAGHETTI! It’s a handy tool to have in your kitchen if you are trying to cut out gluten from your diet or just if you want to get more veggies in. The homemade peanut sauce adds such a wholesome delicious flavour and uses very minimal ingredients! Hope you give it a try and I promise it will leave you feeling light, satisfied and energised!
