My Favorite Ginger Lime Broth

We’re about 1/3 of the way through winter and I’m making the best of it but, honestly, I miss the sun. 🥴

I can’t really complain because I live in California but, when I’m cold all the way to my bones, it’s time for this delicious noodle bowl with ginger lime broth! It is very customizable so you can make it fit your macros, if needed.

Brothy Noodle Bowls:

1. Add a serving of your favorite noodles or grain to a bowl (ramen works well!)- portion to your macros, if needed

2. Add cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu all go nicely)

3. Top with fresh raw veggies like: spinach, bok choy (pak choi), carrots, sweet peppers, bean sprouts, etc.

4. Pour over a generous amount of broth (see my favorite below)

5. Garnish with whatever you like, maybe: fresh cilantro (coriander), green onions/scallions, a boiled egg, fresh jalapeños, sriracha, or chili crunch or paste
