What are Zoodles?

The word Zoodles is just the shorthand nickname for zucchini noodles! There’s many ways so easily make them too. It’s affordable, simple, quick, and perfect for meal prep. 

How do you make Zoodles? 

1. Use a spirilizer: there are many kinds of spiralizers available from super cheap to fairly expensive. Mechanical ones do most of the work for you too. You will need one of these to make the long slender noodles like spaghetti. Check out this list of the best 5 spiralizers on Amazon.
2. Standard vegetable: you can make wide yet  thin noodles using a standard peeler. They would be shaped more like lasagna noodles or perhaps thinner like linguine.
3. Pre made: most grocery stores carry pre sliced zucchini noodles in the frozen section near the frozen vegetables. Some stores like Whole Foods may have fresher ones in the produce section.

How do you store the leftovers?

Store the leftover Zoodles in containers with lids or seal with plastic wrap. I love using these glass food containers with grip tight lids.

They keep my meal prep food fresh the longest. Keep no longer than 5 days in the refrigerator. 

If you are making large portions for meal prepping you can store them in double wrapped large zip locks bags in the freezer up to 3 months.
