Yields: 2 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Noodles (Choose 1-2 cups cooked):

    • Sweet potato noodles (higher complex carbs)

    • Rice noodles (for quicker absorption)

    • Zucchini noodles (lower carb)

  • Bone broth (4-6 cups):

    • 1-2 inches fresh ginger, sliced

    • 1-2 inches fresh turmeric, sliced  

    • 3 cloves garlic

  • Protein (4-6 oz cooked per serving):

    • Chicken breast (shredded)

    • Salmon (flaked) 

    • Firm tofu (pressed and cubed)

  • Leafy Greens (2-3 cups): 

    • Spinach

    • Bok choy

    • Kale (massage kale lightly if using raw

    • Bean sprouts 

Customizable Toppings:

  • Turmeric & Ginger

  • ½ avocado, sliced 

  • 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds

  • 1-2 Tbsp kimchi

  • Fresh cilantro, mint, or basil 

 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Broth: In a large pot, bring your chosen broth to a simmer. If using fresh ginger, turmeric, or garlic for an anti-inflammatory boost, add them now and let simmer for at least 15-20 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  2. Cook Protein: While the broth is simmering, cook your chosen protein according to its preparation. Shred chicken, press and cube tofu, etc.

  3. Cook Noodles: Cook your chosen noodles according to package instructions. If using sweet potato or zucchini noodles, you may not need to cook them separately; they can be added directly to the hot broth to soften for a few minutes.

  4. Assemble Bowl:

    • Place your cooked noodles in the bottom of a large serving bowl.

    • Add your cooked protein on top of the noodles.

    • Arrange the leafy greens around the protein.

    • Carefully ladle the hot broth over the noodles, protein, and greens. The heat of the broth will slightly wilt the greens.

  5. Customize with Toppings: Add any desired toppings to give you the boost of benefits and flavor you are looking for. 

  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your personalized recovery noodle bowl!
