This is great as a main dish, or as an appetizer to share. Your guests will think you spent hours in the kitchen with all the complex flavors. And there are veggies added in, which make this a superstar dish in our minds. If serving as a main dish, this pairs great over zoodles, quinoa, cauli rice or brown rice.

COCONUT SHRIMP AND THAI GREEN SAUCE

May 3, 2020 by Rachele at VFit Studio Leave a Comment

This recipe will take you to the Carribbean. Turn up some calypso or reggae and enjoy making these yummy coconut shrimp! The outer coconut crispy coating is a total treat and then we've put together a nutrient packed Thai inspired sauce to use as a dip or a sauce. It's a match made in food (or belly) heaven! Work to chop and prep all your ingredients for sauce before starting it to starting it up. We call for a blender or using your immersion blender for it. If you want your sauce thinner, you can always add in a little water to water it out or enjoy it thick as a dip like our photo.

MEDITERRANIAN ZOODLES

May 3, 2020 by Rachele at VFit Studio Leave a Comment

You may see the title of this and think to yourself, "wow, these guys love their zoodles" -- and you're definitely on to us! But let's be honest...zoodles are amazing. They're nutritious (they are, after all, a veggie), they're easy, there's no boiling required, they have an awesome texture, and they're the perfect little vehicle for anything you'd ordinarily slap on some pasta...and then some. This is the recipe for the gal (or guy!) on the go - 20 minutes max start to finish, can be pre-made and these are equally delish eaten cold. Don't feel like cooking up meat? Rinse some white beans and throw them in the mix instead. In any case - this is a winner.
