So, If you follow me at all, or attend my classes, or train with me you know how much I LOVE SPAGHETTI SQUASH!!!!

I seriously eat it almost every day, it s filling, yummy, you can use it in ANY dish you use pasta in, AND.... IT'S ONLY 45 CALORIES PER CUP!!!!!!

BUT, even I need a break from my beloved Spaghetti squash every once in a while.... QUE BROCCOLI SLAW!!!!

I love it!!!! You just buy a bag of it at the store, it comes PRE-Cut into long noodles and you can Use it to replace past or rice in your cooking!!!!

To make basic noodles out of it, all you do is heat a skillet with a little olive or coconut oil and dump the bag in, saute the noodles until they are tender and VIOLA!!!!!! Pasta!!! Then add whatever healthy sauce you like on top!!!!

Below are 3 of my favorite Broccoli Slaw noodle recipes!!!!! But don't just stick to mine!!!! GET CREATIVE

and then let me know what YOU invented so I can try it!!!! :)

Shrimp and “Noodles” Stir fry

(amounts are per serving)

Ingredients:

1/2 bag of broccoli slaw

3 oz. shrimp (bite size pieces)

2-4 leaves of basil (Thai or lime basil would be ideal, but regular sweet basil is fine)

1/2 tsp sesame oil (I don't like sesame oil so I use coconut oil and add sesame seeds!)

splash of soy sauce (I use low-sodium version) or Coconut amino's

generously season with salt free seasoning blend (I used Mrs. Dash Caribbean blend)
Place non-stick wok or skillet on med-high heat.
Put in sesame oil, broccoli slaw and salt-free seasoning blend. Stir frequently.
Once slaw is nearly cooked, add the shrimp and soy sauce. Tear the basil up and drop into the pan.
Stir fry until shrimp are cooked through.
Serve with soy sauce, a splash of citrus juice or a little sriracha hot sauce.

*note: you will notice that just 3 oz. of shrimp is used in this recipe, while a standard portion of this protein is 4 oz. This was done because it is a mini-meal, but if you wish to go with the full 4 oz. the calorie difference will only be +25, so go for it.

Butternut Squash Slaw noodles n "Cheese"

Ingredients

2 cups cooked butternut squash or raw butternut squash cubes (available pre-sliced at many grocery stores)

1 cup low sodum beef or chicken broth

16 oz bag broccoli slaw

1 Tbsp olive oil (for broccoli slaw) + small amount of oil for onions 

1/2 to 1/4 cup (I do 1/4) diced pancetta (Italian bacon) OR 2 slices regular bacon (This is optional, but it really adds to the flavor and it's such a small amount it doesn't add much fat or calories so I recommend it!)

about 1/4 medium red onion (adjust more or less based on your preferences)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

Cooking Directions

Cook butternut squash in broth and add in spices. You can use other types of squash like delicata or kabocha if you like a sweeter flavor. If squash is raw, then cook till soft and broth evaporates. If squash is cooked, then use less broth and let it cook down till it forms a creamy consistency.

Toss broccoli slaw in olive oil and pan fry until broccoli slaw is soft

In a pan, sauté red onion and pancetta (or bacon) in olive oil (you don’t need much because bacon is naturally fatty).

Add bacon/onion mixture to the butternut squash sauce and mix in.

Pour hot butternut squash sauce over broccoli slaw (top with nutritional yeast, butter, or real cheese if you tolerate it).

Enjoy the healthy decadence!

* 2 cups equals 1 serving
