Ingredient Notes

Zucchini: No matter how you cook it, I love zucchini for how versatile and delicious it is. Zucchini is super high in water and fibre and contains so many other good nutrients for your body. And as a bonus – zucchini also contains zero fat.

Lemons: Lemons freshen up any dish! Packed with vitamin C and fiber – there’s a reason lemon juice or lemon zest are used in so many recipes.
