Pasta on a juice cleanse?!?
With Raw Generation juice cleanses, you can incorporate raw, plant-based foods if you feel that you need a little something extra. Whether you’re on a juice cleanse, or you’re looking for a healthy replacement for ordinary pasta, raw zoodles (a.k.a. zucchini noodles) are a deliciously versatile option! All you need to transform your zucchini into noodles is a spiralizer.
In honor of Gluten-Free Diet Awareness Month, here are three 100% plant-based and raw ways to serve up zoodles: Raw Marinara, Raw Pesto, and Cashew Alfredo.
Simply spiralize your zoodles, blend up your sauce of choice, combine, and enjoy!
