THE ULTIMATE GREEN VEGGIE BOWL - Tasty Thursday

Happy St Patrick's day to all Irish and everyone who would like to celebrate.... Well some will meet-up and celebrate drinking with friends... I will instead celebrate it with this Yummy Vegan & Gluten Free Green Veggie Bowl.

Potentially the greatest carb saver since cauliflower pizza crust, zoodles have become our lifeblood and we are buying all the zucchinis that Tesco Lotus can offer us... not enough if you ask me.

And what makes zucchini noodles even better? Mixing in broccoli, snap peas, and cheese-free pesto. Aka the ultimate green veggie bowl. It takes all of 10 minutes to put together, from start to finish, and you barely have any dishes to wash. Yes yes yes.

M3 or M5 of your SLIMher Nutrition Plan

Ingredients: – 2 medium zucchini – 3 cups broccoli, chopped (about 1 head) – 1 1/2 cups snap peas – 1 ounce basil – 1/4 cup nuts (recommend 1/8 cup walnuts and 1/8 cup cashews) – 1/2 cup olive oil – 1 clove garlic – 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste – Optional hemp hearts to top if you don't have replace by white sesame seeds

To make it even greener I would add some Brussels Sprouts steamed...

Directions: – Using a spiralizer or julienne shred, prepare zucchini noodles and set aside. – Place broccoli, brussels sprouts and snap peas in a microwave-safe steamer and microwave for 4 minutes (as for me it will be my old school Steamer from the stove for about 10-15mins max). Place zucchini noodles in a skillet just to tender them top for 3 minutes. – in mid time, place basil, nuts, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour pesto into the steamer and mix all the vegetables together. Divide equally into two bowls, add more salt to taste, and top with hemp hearts or white sesame seeds.

Serve and enjoy.
