Have you tried zoodles yet?! They are noodles made from zucchini and are available at many grocery stores now. You can also make your own with a spiralizer, this is definitely a fun way to get your kids involved in the kitchen! We love mixing zoodles with traditional noodles to create a familiar yet more healthful plate of pasta.
Be sure to check out Veggie Buds Club for more ways to make veggies (such as zucchini!) fun and approachable for kids.
