Carrot Noodle Pad Thai

This Carrot Noodle Pad Thai is a healthy Whole30 twist on the traditional pad thai. Just substitute carrot noodles for the traditional ones and cashews for peanuts and you’ll have a healthy, one- pan dinner on the table in 30 minutes.

Who doesn’t love a big bowl of pad thai?

One of my favorite things to do while on the Whole30 is recreate some of my favorite takeout dishes like Black Pepper Chicken Stir Fry. My girlfriend’s favorite takeout dish is pad thai so I created this one just for her.

It is easier than you might think to swap out the traditional pad thai ingredients for healthy, Whole30 compliant options. I switched out the traditional rice noodles for carrot noodles and the peanut butter and peanuts for cashew butter and cashews.
