Fresh zucchini noodles, also known as “zoodles,” are a great low-calorie, low-carb, gluten-free alternative to classic wheat-based pasta. They are light, fresh and packed with nutrients such as fibre to keep you feeling full for longer, aiding in appetite control. Tossed with succulent shrimp and a zesty twist on a classic pesto recipe, these zoodles taste like a mouthful of summer!

Tip: Zoodles are highly versatile and work well with all types of pasta sauces - sub them in for any of your favourite pasta-based recipes!
