Alexander is allergic to peanuts, so I had to get creative on how to make pad thai without nuts! Surprisingly, tahini worked really well and was so delicious as a pad thai sauce.

Kelp Noodle pad thai salad is great because you can make a huge batch of it and have it prepped for lunches all week. Another bonus is that it’s filled with lots of veggies and color, so its nutrient dense with lots of phytonutrients!

Kelp Noodles are a great alternative to a rice noodle, or asian noodle. They are low calorie, low carbohydrate and a great source of iodine and minerals. One bag of these noodles is about 20 calories. These are a great option when you want to add volume, to your meals, without having to have the base of your meals carbohydrate loaded. Not that having carbohydrates is bad, but for many it makes up the largest proportion of meals, which is not our goal.
