Raw Pesto Zoodles Review

I adapted this recipe from the Medical Medium Thyroid Healing book by Anthony Williams. The author is a bit ‘out there’ – his claims are not science-based. But he presents some interesting theories about viruses and his dietary recommendations align with a plant-based lifestyle. He also shares delicious recipes.

If you make these zoodles please share your thoughts in the comments below. Did you or would you do anything differently?

About Test Kitchen Recipes:

Developing a recipe, taking photos, editing photos, writing and editing posts takes many hours. In order to share new recipes with you more often, I have added a new section to my blog. The Test Kitchen features recipes I am still tweaking or simply have not had time to photograph or write about in detail. As such, if you try any of these recipes, I would especially appreciate hearing your comments, questions or suggestions as I continue to fine-tune the content.
