    I've tried so many diets and carbs weren't allowed in any of them. I could live with no fat or even without desserts and other sweet treats, but I couldn't live without carbs. That's why these diets didn't work for me. I lost 26 pounds or 12 kilos, but it was hard to keep the weight off. I'm following a high carb diet now and I'm so happy and healthy. If you eat healthy carbs like rice or potatoes, you don't have to be afraid to gain weight, just avoid refined carbs and excess fat in your diet.

    I eat gluten-free pasta once or twice a week, but I'm in love with these zucchini noodles (or zoodles), they're so healthy and delicious. You can use other veggies like cucumber, carrot or pumpkin.

    To make your zoodles more tasty, use your favorite pasta sauces, but try to choose healthy fats like avocados, nuts and seeds. Remove animal fats from your diet and also refined and hydrogenated oils.

    This is a raw vegan recipe, so you won't find animal products or cooked food here. Many vitamins are water-soluble and a significant percent can be lost with cooking, so raw food is so healthy because is full of vitamins and minerals. Besides, raw food is really easy to prepare and many recipes are ready in less than 10 or 15 minutes!

    Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Sauce - These delicious zucchini noodles (or zoodles) with avocado sauce are ready in 10 minutes. Besides, this recipe requires just 7 ingredients to make.

    To make the zucchini noodles I use a tool called Spiralizer, it transforms fruits and vegetables in just a few simple steps into spaghettis, spirals or slices. The noodles are ready in less than 5 minutes and the Spiralizer is really easy to clean, it's totally worth it!

    Slice off one end of the zucchini so that you have a flat surface to place on the Spiralizer. Press the zucchini against the blade of the Spiralizer and crank the handle of the simple machine.

    You only need 5 ingredients to make the creamy avocado sauce: water, lemon juice, avocado, pine nuts and basil. Feel free to use other nuts instead of the pine nuts (I love cashews and walnuts) or any leafy green instead of the basil (spinach also works).

    Once you've made the zoodles and blend all the sauce ingredients in a blender, you just need to combine both and add some cherry tomatoes on top.

    The kids love this super healthy pasta recipe! You can also add: vegan Parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, sea salt, black pepper, other spices or herbs.

      I made this for lunch today and it was so good. I replaced basil with spinach and pine nuts with pumpkin seeds. I've been struggling with getting creative with my raw meals and was in a routine of eating the same meals everyday so this was a nice change. This recipe will definitely be added to my rotation :).

      Tried it for lunch today. I've been trying to be keto for the last 4 weeks. I realised that I've been eating a lot of animal protein. Thank you for this recipe. It is very yummy. I am.going to get nutritional yeast next time I go shopping to see what that flavour is like. I enjoy the freshness from adding lime juice instead of lemon juice and the burst of juice from Roma tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. Thank you!

      Would anything else make a good sauce for this other than avocado? Maybe cashews? Or soy yogurt?

      Just made this today and it's so tasty! I used 4 zucchinis, but only doubled the avocado blend (I did add a bit more water, but only because I thought it wouldn't be enough sauce for the 4 zucchinis -- but it turns out it was more than enough). I added these to the avocado sauce: salt, pepper, fresh garlic. And besides the tomatoes at the end, I also added sliced red onion. Thanks for a great and EASY recipe!

      This was my first attempt at a "raw food" recipe. It was interesting because I wasnt sure exactly how the sauce was supposed to taste. My husband said it tasted like tomatoes, which was odd since there was none in the sauce LOL. Once I put the whole thing together though, he said it was REALLY GOOD which I was not expecting. Will be adding this to my list of raw meals 🙂

      We used pepitas and walnuts since we didn’t have pine nuts. Also doubled the amount of zucchini (still very saucy). I think a little salt and pepper brought out the avocado flavor nicely. Really good!

      This was delicious. I am new to raw food and it allows you to get the saucy feel and the spaghetti feel that you are not able to eat. I added salt, pepper, and paprika and it was good.

      This sounds delicious! Does the recipe call for fresh or dried basil? I don't know my way around the kitchen well enough to make an assumption.

          It sounds great. I'm going to stir fry the noodles, tomatoes and spinach then add the sauce to heat it. Hoping it'll turn out to be a nice hot meal.
