Powerful Anti-inflammatory & Detox Raw Vegan Courgette Pasta

These aromatic zucchini noodles are a beautiful treat when you feel like you dragged on an unhealthy eating habit for way too long and it's now time to reset your body. It's also great as part of a Detox regime or anti-inflammatory diet⁣

⁣

The courgettes themselves have proven to have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect on the body and as a bonus they also improve digestion, slow down ageing, detoxify the body and even improve thyroid and adrenal functions⁣

⁣

The sauce is composed of anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial ingredients like turmeric, ginger, garlic, mustard powder, apple cider vinegar, lime, chia and flax seeds⁣

⁣

It's quick and easy to make. All you need is a spirulizer (or peeler, the pasta will be thick and flat but that's good too) a small blender and a serving bowl⁣
