You can have the best skin and hair care products in the world, but if your skin and hair aren’t healthy, it’s pretty hard to compensate, no matter how talented you are. So Style Chicks is going to be starting a feature called “Beauty Food” where we discuss foods and ways of cooking that lead to a healthier inside and a more vibrant outside.
Vegetable Noodles, more frequently referred to as “Zoodles”, are becoming quite popular, and with good reason. Vegetable noodles are a healthy alternative to carb laden pasta. Not only are making a low-cal swap-out, but you are adding valuable nutrients to your diet!
I’ve been interested in spiralized vegetables for awhile now, but the ones I looked seemed to require a little more elbow grease than I am willing to put in. So I was thrilled to find the WonderEsque Tri-Blade Compact Spiralizer: it looked easy to use, easy to clean up, versatile, and the price point is great. Plus the handle is a fun shade of pink!
This spiralizer comes with three blades: a Thick Spiral Blade, a Thin Spiral Blade, and a Ribbon Blade. A major plus for me is the de-coring feature; it automatically and cleanly keeps the core out of your spiralized vegetables.
Another big perk is the ease of use. The pictures I took were my first try using the Spiralizer. I’m no master chef, and nearly any kitchen gadget I use requires a test run before I get it right. With this spiralizer, I was able to get perfect, beautiful spirals the first time after reading through the easy to understand directions.
If you need inspiration for recipes, you will find endless mouth-watering ideas on the Internet, and don’t forget to check out Pinterest as well. Amazon also has many Kindle books with excellent recipes too.
I am currently enjoying sweet potato chips that I spiralized with the thin ribbon blade and then toasted. They are absolutely amazing, and so much more flavorful than what you find in the store (and sweet potatoes are fantastic for your skin!) My next projects are Zoodle Lo Mein and making decorative (and edible!) roses out of apples.
I am so happy with this spiralizer and can’t wait to keep using it!
