The Amazing Gluten-free No Carb Noodle

Celiac.com 02/19/2017 - I've been playing around in my kitchen and found a really interesting paleo side dish (or even a main!) can be created with kelp noodles. I know you're probably thinking: "Kelp? What?" But hear me out on this one. There's much more to kelp than just being huge plants that grow in the ocean!

This impressive super food packs a nutritious punch with its high amounts of iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron, as well as vitamins, antioxidants, phytonutrients, amino acids, omega-3 fats and fiber. Wow! Not only do my gluten-free and paleo pals get to enjoy noodles, but on top of that you'll be nourishing your body in one of the most delicious ways I know of. And for my raw foodie friends, you'll be happy to know that these noodles are 100% raw.

I enjoy these kelp noodles with a nut cheeze sauce that is full of flavor and love to pair them up with scallops or shrimp. A delicious and complete meal! Believe me, your non-gluten-free friends will be impressed with this creation as well as your kiddos. Try it out and let me know how it goes!

• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Nut Cheeze Recipe Ingredients:
• 2 cups cashews (I soaked mine overnight) NOTE: I have used pignoli nuts in the past but that really makes this cheeze sauce pricey.

• 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

5. Add more water, little by little, as needed.

Notes

The noodles can easily be made in a low-temperature oven as well as a dehydrator. So, do not be concerned with that.

They will last for 3 days (longer if you reheat in an oven or microwave and have no raw concerns).
