This Healthy Vegetable Pad Thai uses whole wheat noodles for some added nutrition. The blend of savory sauce, crunchy vegetables and tangy lime will keep the family running to the table!

What’s cooking? Yes, WHAT’S cooking–not whose. Apparently, according to this article, American’s aren’t.
Did you know Americans are spending more money on eating out than on groceries? The average American eats out 4-5 times per week, and are spending an average of $232 per month on meals not prepared at home (source). YIKES! Personally with my family of six, I would go broke if we ate out that much.

Healthy Vegetable Pad Thai

Here’s a fabulous healthy vegetable pad thai recipe you can make at home that will keep the dollars in your wallet!

My kids are pretty adventurous eaters. I love that about them. We have this awesome Thai place just down the street from our house. My husband and I will go there for dates, but very rarely will we bring the kids. We brought them one time, and they loved it. So, instead of heading there, this is one of the recipes I make at home. It’s cheaper, not to mention healthier! Although, I just mentioned healthier, didn’t I.

 Helpful Hints:

  • Add chicken, or other vegetables to beef it up. Or… beef, actually, to beef it up. 🙂
  • I use these whole wheat noodles for some added nutrition, but you can use traditional rice noodles as well.
  • I double this recipe for my family of six and then we have some left overs.
This recipe is adapted from Everyday Food Magazine.

    I have had the hardest time with homemade thai food…which is such a shame because it’s mine and my family’s favorite type of food! I can’t wait to try this and see what everyone thinks!! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!

    Adding bean sprouts can help reduce some of the carbs and adds some crunch as well. I’ve also found that it’s worth it to grab some Thai fish sauce just to make pad Thai with.

    Hi Chellie….we are a family of Pad Thai LOVERS!!!! So, guess I need to add this to my list of recipes to make (I’m sure I could add some shrimp for my menfolk who break out in hives if they think something is vegetarian). Thanks and pinning.

    Hugs, LYnn

      I make this with chicken too. I am not a shrimp lover–tried it a bunch of different times–just don’t care for seafood. But, for the seafood lovers, that would be awesome! Have you ever noticed I don’t have any seafood/fish on my site? #trueconfessions. LOL
