\"Rainbow-Raw-Pad-Thai\"<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/b>Rad Rainbow Pad Thai
\n<\/a><\/b>Takeout has nothing on these nutrient-dense, colorful veggies. Thinly slice, julienne or\u00a0spiralize<\/a>\u00a0zucchini, carrots, peppers and green onions, and drizzle a nutty almond butter-based dressing on top. If you\u2019re hankering for extra protein, throw on some edamame and tofu.\u00a0Photo and Recipe: Angela Liddon \/\u00a0<\/i>Oh She Glows<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Carrot-Pasta-with-Lemony-Tahini\"<\/p>\n

3. <\/b>Carrot Pasta with Zesty Garlic Sauce
\n<\/a><\/b>Got 15 minutes? Then you have enough time to whip up this light, raw treat. A rich source of beta-carotene, carrots also contain vitamin A, an essential nutrient for good eye health. Serve this recipe fresh or store it in the fridge, but only up to 24 hours. (It will get too soggy if you try to save it any longer.)\u00a0Photo and Recipe: Chris \/ <\/i>Tales of a <\/i>Kitchen<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Broccoli<\/p>\n

4. Chicken and Zoodles Asian Stir-Fry<\/a><\/strong>

A bed of spiralized zucchini is topped\u00a0with broccoli and protein-rich chicken, so you’ll feel satisfied and won’t\u00a0need to reach for an extra snack hours laker.\u00a0\u00a0Photo and recipe: Alexa Schrim \/ Life by Daily Burn<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Beet-Pasta-Swiss-Chard-Walnuts\"<\/p>\n

5. <\/b>Beet Linguine with Swiss Chard, Goat Cheese and Walnuts
\n<\/a><\/b>If you\u2019re feeling ambitious, make your own beet-based pasta<\/a> (or pick some up at your local natural foods market). Add salty goat cheese, walnuts and Swiss chard to level up the goodness on your plate. Pro tip: Separate the chard stems from the leaves since you\u2019ll want to cook them separately. Stems will take about three extra minutes. Photo and Recipe: <\/i>Blue Apron<\/i><\/p>\n

For a sophisticated taste, don\u2019t forget to add white sesame seeds and Japanese chili powder (or red pepper flakes) on top. Photo and Recipe: Emily \/ No <\/i>Pasta for Penguins<\/i><\/p>\n

8. <\/b>Paleo \u201cPasta\u201d Puttanesca

A plate of this faux pasta pairs perfectly with lean turkey meatballs, which have less than half the fat of the ground beef variety.\u00a0Photo and Recipe: Perry Santanachote \/ <\/i>Life By Daily Burn<\/i><\/p>\n
