Protein Packed Green Skinny Noodle Bowl

I absolutely adore noodles, in all sorts of dishes and recipes – but this is one of my all time favourites!

This Asian-inspired dish, is a powerhouse of nutrition “meal in a bowl” – and it couldn’t be easier to make!

It’s from my second book, THE FOOD EFFECT DIET VEGAN.

It’s packed full of plant-based protein and gut-loving fibre – it’s vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low in calories & totally waistline friendly!

It looks so fancy, but it literally takes just minutes to make! You won’t believe it!!  And most importantly, it’s totally DELICIOUS!!

It’s perfect for a quick healthy lunch, or supper. You can also pair it with grilled salmon or tofu, or chicken, even a veggie burger – whatever your preferences – if you want to bulk it up even more!

I’ve also served it as a side dish when entertaining, as part of a buffet (see pics below.) And it went down a HUGE hit! You just have to multiply the quantities.

You can serve it hot, cold, or at room temperature – whichever way, it’s perfect!

I discuss the health benefits of all the ingredients in my YouTube video here…
