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!
