Zoodle Pad Thai (Vegan)

Try my vegan zoodle pad thai for a quick, healthy lunch or dinner! This recipe is also completely SOY FREE so it is fertility friendly. Soy (even organic), especially in processed forms like soy sauce, soy milk, etc is difficult for our body to digest, creating inflammation in the gut that we want to avoid when we are trying to get pregnant. Luckily there is a great alternative for soy sauce called coconut aminos that gives you a similar flavor without the soy!
