2. Take Cottage Cheese and 3 Tablespoons of almond milk and blend it in a food processor until smooth.
3. Place Cottage cheese mixture in a saucepan and add the parmesan cheese and garlic. Warm on medium heat until bubbly and creamy.

Zucchini Noodle Bowl

Yesterday for lunch I whipped up this super quick and easy Zucchini noodle bowl and posted it to my Facebook page.  I never really thought it would be such a hit so I never took pictures as I made it, but was asked to post the recipe so here it is.

I have a Spiralizer (makes vegetables into noodles) and that is what I used here. This is mine, from Paderno (surprisingly not as expensive as you would think)

Ingredients

• Medium zucchini
• Cherry tomatoes
• Garlic
• Fresh basil
• Extra virgen olive oil
• Lemon juice

I took a medium sized zucchini and spiralized it.  Is that even a word? I just made it up if it isn't lol.  Anyways I took about 1 1/2 green containers (21 day fix) or you could just take all of it. and another half green container of cherry tomatoes and put in a bowl.  

Then in a small hand held blender (if your fancy you could use a food processor) I put a small bunch of fresh basil, two cloves of garlic 2 tablespoon on lemon juice, and a little bit of fresh black pepper and blended until it was like a sauce, then I added a tsp on oil and blended some more.  

Toss with the zucchini and tomatoes and eat.

Super easy peasy and quick!

If you wanted you could add some fresh parmesan on top too just for a little extra kick!

If your following the 21 day fix this recipe would =
