One of my all time faves, this warming, one pot noodle soup is a perfect way to boost your vegetable intake, up your protein and did we mention it’s 100% oil-free? talk about lean and mean! Packed with flavour, it’s just perfect for colder months, although I definitely find myself making this year round because it’s oh so easy to make and super nutritious. Enjoy!

Skin & Healthy Bones

A nutrition highlight in this dish is the bok choi, providing impressive amounts of vitamin C and K. Vitamin C is full of antioxidants, and well-known for its immune-boosting properties and ability to fight off illness, but it also supports collagen production. The antioxidant properties that help immunity also repair damage caused by the sun, pollution and smoke. All of these external environmental impacts are terrible for our skin and over time, will impact its texture and health. The vitamin C and collagen work together to improve the negative effect of these harsh conditions, leaving you with stronger, healthier skin. The vitamin K and calcium found in pak choi is essential in improving bone strength. They both assist in balancing collagen levels in the joints, improving your flexibility and mobility.
