Lower the carbs even more:
Don’t consider 30g low carb? The vegetable mix added 6g carbs, vegan cream cheese 5g, and oat milk 5g. Consider swapping to lower carb veg like spinach and switch the oat milk to almond milk for -11g carbs per serving.
Ingredients:
227g low carb noodles (see recipe notes)
2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
¼ cup oat milk
1 cup shredded vegetable mix (see recipe notes)
180g extra firm tofu, cubed

Cube your tofu.
Add your shredded vegetable mix and cubed tofu to the prepared baking tray.
Season with 1 tbsp Italian seasoning blend, salt and pepper.
Toss well to coat and bake for 16-18 minutes.
Tofu should be golden and vegetables crispy, set aside.
Rinse your low carb noodles with cold water and set aside to drain completely.
Bring a pan to medium heat and add noodles, cream cheese and oat milk, tossing to combine.
