A hearty bowl of spaghetti squash Pad Thai

Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 tbsp of peanut butter powder (+ 3 tbsp of water)
  • ⅛ tsp of black pepper
  • 1 tsp of garlic
  • 1 tsp of ginger
  • 3 pack of stevia
  • 1 lime
  • 3 tbsp of plain fat-free greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp of coconut aminos
  • ½ tbsp of red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup of shredded red cabbage
  • ½ cup of chopped carrots

Instructions

  1. Bake the spaghetti squash: preheat oven to 350. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds. Lightly spray or brush on olive oil to both sides of the squash. Sprinkle a small amount of pepper and salt-free seasoning over the squash. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the you can easily poke a fork into the squash.
  2. Meanwhile, wash and chop the vegetables and set aside.
  3. Once the squash is cool, shred with a fork. This will create “spaghetti-like” noodles. Add to a large bowl.
  4. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the carrots in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  5. Combine the carrots with the squash and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
  6. Serve with your favorite lean protein and enjoy!
