Looking for a Healthy Gluten Free Ramen? Look no further!

There is something so comforting about a hot bowl of ramen. Am I right?

When Travis and I used to live in West LA we frequently visited Sawtelle Japantown and had the most delicious Ramen!

I decided to recreate those yummy flavors with some of my preferred ingredients like high protein GF edamame noodles and tons of veggies!

This ramen recipe is simple to make and packed with nourishing ingredients like garlic, ginger, mushrooms and broccolini. The grass fed bone broth, edamame noodles and soft boiled egg bump up the protein content, which helps to promote feelings of fullness, since protein is the most satiating macronutrient. You won’t miss the meat in this ramen because the oyster mushrooms naturally have a meat-like texture, minus the saturated fat!

Mushrooms are the star of this soup since they are incredibly nutrient dense and packed with choline, vitamin D and selenium. To boost vitamin D in the mushrooms, I like setting them in the sun for an hour before cooking.

Selenium is a micronutrient I often discuss with clients of mine who have under-active thyroids. It’s also important for proper immune function too!

This ramen inspired soup is packed with anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, satiating protein and gut nourishing fiber, making it a dish that not only tastes great but will also leave you feeling good after eating it!

Enjoy!
