Indulge in a comforting classic with a nutritious twist! This High Protein Gut-Healthy Alfredo swaps traditional pasta and heavy cream for spiralized zucchini and a creamy Greek yogurt base, lightening calories, boosting protein, and supporting gut health through probiotics and fiber. Chickpeas (or chicken breast) provide a satisfying protein punch, while hemp seeds and spinach supply anti-inflammatory omega-3s, magnesium, zinc, folate, and vitamin C to help combat stress and fatigue. Nutritional yeast gives a cheesy flavor and vitamin-B boost, while fresh parsley and lemon juice add vibrancy and digestive support. Designed for women seeking fitness, cognitive, and heart health benefits, this vibrant, veggie-packed Alfredo is quick to prepare, easy on digestion, and bursting with innovative flavors—making healthy eating both effortless and delicious.
