Veggie Miso Ramen (Recipe)

Eating healthy all the time can be difficult, especially with all the pressure around us of convenient meals. As much as i love convenience it sure doesn't take precedence over health, atleast for me. I'm constantly being inspired by different restaurants to recreate things i've tried but in a more healthier fashion because we all know the key to health is making it at home it all boils down to knowing exactly what you're putting in your body. When it comes down to convenience one of my favorite things to make is a bowl full of miso soup with ramen noodles, some fresh veggies and egg, you have all your bases covered with this one you have Protein- egg, Fat- egg, Carbs- noodles+ veggies. These are all foods that will keep you going with tons of energy and it's not super heavy on your stomach for a nice light lunch or dinner!

Feel free to sub out ingredients as you like! You can always add more fresh veggies or some chopped chicken breast. Remember to try to keep it balanced Protein, Fat, Carbs. These are all very important factors for a balanced diet. Remember not all protein comes from meat, not all fat comes from fried foods and not all carbs come from grains only, there are good fats, good carbs and good proteins, no nutrient is an enemy they all work together in harmony with our cells to produce energy, healthy bones and immunity!
