Why This Paleo AIP Stir-Fry Works
Living the Paleo AIP lifestyle means avoiding grains, dairy, and nightshades. This is where zucchini noodles, or “zoodles,” shine. They’re fully compliant with Paleo AIP and provide a satisfying veggie boost. Zucchini’s low histamine levels and natural anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for reducing inflammation—key to autoimmune support. This stir-fry is your ticket to deliciousness without crossing the line.
