3 Mouthwatering Veggie Spiralizer Recipes

Have you heard of the latest healthy food trend? It involves cooking veggies (always a good thing!) with a veggie spiralizer. Haven’t heard of a veggie spiralizer? I hadn’t either, and now I’m completely hooked!
 
I too used to be like you, attempting to slice small veggie strands for years, and never being satisfied with the slenderness of the strand. I finally decided to buy a spiralizer on Amazon.com. Why, oh why, didn’t I do this sooner?! When it comes to cooking healthy, the veggie spiralizer is truly life-changing!
 
The veggie sprializer is a small, hand-held contraption with no assembly required that can be used on virtually any firm vegetable (or fruit). Zucchini, squash, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes. Create a grain-free pasta, veggie noodle soup, or a no-noodle pad thai!

Veggie spiralizers have become so popular because they enable you to make wholesome, delicious recipes, similar to your favorite not-so-healthy recipes in a few quick and easy steps. These recipes are ideal for busy yogis who don’t always have time to cook an extravagant meal, but don’t want to sacrifice eating healthy. Any recipe that can be created with noodles can be re-vamped with your favorite spiralized vegetable. Replace 2 cups of pasta (200 calories, 41 carbs, 3 grams fiber), with 2 cups of vegetables (wholesome calories, wholesome carbs).
