Chicken, Shrimp, and Tofu Pad Thai is SO simple to make at home and tastes better than any take-out!
Nichole from Pure Clean Fitness is hanging out with us on this FABULOUS Fit Friday!!!! YAY 🙂
Chicken, Shrimp, and Tofu Pad Thai is full of all kinds of fabulous proteins. . . feel free to pick and choose if you or family doesn’t happen to be a fan of one of them! I love them all AND I figure they can easily be picked around if need be. 🙂
Then lets talk about the rice noodles, which I can’t get enough of! They need a little bit of soak time and then a quick toss into a pot of boiling water so just be sure to check your package directions as you begin!
