It Is Easy To Fall In Love With Yummy Foods – Join Your Tribe!
Could you imagine piling your plate high with spaghetti goodness? Warm, savory, comforting, carby goodness. When I was growing up, I used to eat spaghetti before my track meets, and would stock up on Ramen Noodles when I first moved out on my own. Now I look at spaghetti and think, “Meh, I’m not really getting a burst of nutrients through this carb,” so I rarely eat spaghetti … ever.
I will admit, though, that when I’m craving something warm and comforting, a big bowl of spaghetti would be “da bomb.” So, naturally, I searched for a nutrient-dense substitute for spaghetti and I stumbled across spaghetti squash. All I can say is YASS and please RETWEET!

Spaghetti squash is currently my jam n’ jelly. It is super low calorie, keeps you feeling full from fiber, and keeps our metabolism working properly with the help of manganese. Spaghetti squash also keeps your skin in tip-top shape since it contains Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene. So clearly I’m going to be eating spaghetti squash whenever I want pasta so that I can satisfy my carby craving and give my skin an extra boost.
