05Guys, I arrived a little late to the zucchini noodle craze but let me tell you, I’m in! Let’s start with the basics for sec. Zucchini noodles (also commonly referred to as “zoodles”) are thin spirals of zucchini and they are shaped like noodles. Some people use a Spiralizer to make zucchini noodles but you can also use a julienne peeler which takes up less space and costs less. The reason zucchini noodles are so awesome is that they have fewer carbs than regular pasta, they make it easy for you to get your daily intake of vegetables in, they are incredibly easy to prepare, and they make it easy to trick your kids into eating veggies.
