11 Clean Eating Meal Ideas

8. Zoodles

You're craving pasta but avoiding processed foods. The solution? Zoodles! Zoodles are noodles made from zucchini. They can be made a number of ways: peeled, spiralized, or chopped. They are a great alternative to grain pasta when you're craving a comfort food! Zucchinis are low in calories and packed with nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, B-vitamins, and essential minerals. Cut the zucchini into long strips (or peel, or spiralize), salt, and let sit for 20 minutes. Then transfer to a cheesecloth and squeeze, draining out all the excess liquid. Sauté in a pan for 5-10 minutes until it reaches desired consistency and add your favorite pasta sauce!
