And what better way to kick start your healthier lifestyle than by cooking up a delicious meal for you and your family, right? You don’t even have to give up your favourite foods, and we will show you how:
For example, pasta. People always assume they have to say bye to pasta if they want to live healthy. But that is absolutely not true.

Here’s the recipe that we created:
Teriyaki sauce:

Noodles:

- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets, white cauliflower and romanesco cauliflower (in total)
- 3/4 cup shelled frozen edamame
- 2-3 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions:
- Prepare the sauce by whisking all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower and 3 tablespoons of Teriyaki sauce and sauté for about 9 minutes. Stir well.
- Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook as instructed on the package directions (6-8 min.). Drain well.
- Add the frozen edamame and carrots to the skillet and sauté until the edamame is hot and ready to be eaten (takes around 5 min.)
- Stir the drained noodles into the stir-fry mixture along with the rest of the teriyaki sauce. Cook for a couple minutes and then serve with the sesame seeds as garnish.
