Protein Noodle Pad Thai
Pad Thai is a delicious recipe that is often served over rice noodles and made with peanut butter. My keto pad thai is extra healthy and extra delicious because instead of carb-heavy rice noodles, I used protein noodles1
My Protein Noodle Pad Thai is so delicious and it is easier than most Pad Thai recipes because you don’t have to boil the noodles and the protein noodles are extra flavorful! My easy keto pad thai also makes delicious leftovers for easy lunches!
To make my Protein Noodle Pad Thai, I used my favorite Pili Nuts and Pili Nut Butter!
Pili Nuts RULE! Not only do they taste like a crunchy buttery mouthful of goodness, they also are only ONE gram of TOTAL carb per ounce! For true keto weight-loss success you need to count total carbs, do not get caught up in counting “net” carbs.
Using pili nut butter in my protein noodle pad thai, lowered the carbs and it also gave my easy pad thai recipe a delicious new flavor!

These are higher in protein so better for weight loss. 🙂
Where do we get the pili nut hot sauce? The link just goes to the pili nut hunters page and I don’t see hot sauce there made from pili nuts 🙂
We don’t use that one anymore. You can just use Frank’s Red Hot or similar hot sauce that is just peppers. I’ve updated the recipe 🙂
