A Recipe for Healthy Pasta Salad
Usually, pasta salad is packed with carbohydrates. Just one serving--and who has just one serving, let's get real--has dozens of grams of carbohydrates.
And unless you're planning on doing dozens of wind sprints uphill, on the sand or stadium bleachers, the carbs you don't burn off will eventually get stored as body fat.
Carb-loaded pasta salad also usually makes you feel sleepy because of all the work your digestive system has to do in order to convert the starch into usable energy (sugar). And when you don't burn that sugar, all the blood vacates the rest of your body and surges towards your stomach. That's why a 'carb coma' can set in.
To avoid this, use this recipe, supplied by a real Miracle Noodle customer. She didn't want her last name used. We're so grateful for this simple recipe and healthy cooking alternative to regular pasta. Thanks, Elizabeth!
