When you need an easy to make delicious gluten free meal, this recipe takes 5 minutes of effort, and 15 minutes to cook in 1 pot.
Make it a full meal by adding in your own protein of choice, preferable with shredded chicken, shrimp, or vegetable proteins like green peas and mushrooms. Whatever you prefer to make it your own.
Add in the green vegetables that you have on hand, even frozen vegetables will work.
If you do not have Ramen noodles which are made from Rice and Millet, then simply use a gluten free pasta of choice. If you haven’t tried Ramen Noodles, you really have to give it try. The texture and flavour is so good.

TALK ABOUT HEALTH
This recipe is a COMPLETE MEAL of protein, carbohydrates, vegetables and a healthy fat. You are also easily getting in some of your daily greens to help with lowering inflammation! Awesome!
We really appreciate that it is an easy to make recipe, and that you are able to manage the amount of sodium/salt in this meal.
Taking control of your health is important to understand, that some pre-packaged noodle soups are made with way above the recommended daily amount of sodium/salt. I have actually seen some labels that are well above 1500mg in just 1 cup. Check your labels.
IDEAL
Our bodies DO need some sodium to run our nervous system and mineral balance, but we only need approximately 1/2 tsp (1200mg) per day.
DID YOU KNOW that daily excess sodium/salt can cause CALCIUM LOSS from the body’s bones, which overtime can cause weak and brittle bones. This is called Osteoporosis.
We all know that excess sodium in the diet increases can cause high blood pressure and fluid retention. It is also not good for the heart and blood vessels. It also puts more pressure on the kidney’s to dilute excess sodium in order to keep the body balanced.
EEK! Oh no! Fluid retention means you’re holding onto excess water in tissues! We don’t want you blowing up like a Puffer Fish !!
