Summer Zoodle Primavera (Under 200 Calories)

By

Light, fresh summery meals are perfect when the weather is hot and we are super busy and on the go.  Zoodle dishes are increasingly popular as a lower calorie and carb alternative to traditional pasta.  This was my first homemade zoodle recipe and it was fast, fun and delicious!   I purchased an inexpensive spiralizer online for about $13, then grabbed a squash from our garden and in just a few minutes, dinner was ready!!

An entire medium zucchini only has 33 calories and 6 gm of carbs.  With 2 gm of protein and fiber plus 15% of your daily needs for potassium, 12% for folate and 50% for Vitamin C, this summer veggie while watery and light in flavor is packed with good nutrition.  There’s even magnesium, B vitamins and some calcium included.

Non-pasta noodle dishes can be made with zucchini or summer squash but carrots work well too.  Here are some other zoodle recipes that are sure to please.
