Easy, High-Protein Noodle Bowl: Perfect for Super Busy Days & Nights
It's way too busy to cook ... or is it? This recipe is faster than ordering takeout and works as easily for one person as it does for four. High in protein and fiber, it's super filling and reminds you to take a moment to breathe deep and enjoy life! Image: Liza Graves
I’m writing this in the month of May, a month that destroys me every year. How quickly the body forgets pain …
Each year, I tell myself that it won’t be as bad as my notes from the previous year beg me to remember. But, here we are, and it somehow feels worse.
It comes down to a severe lack of time for all the requirements that this one particular month holds. In December, the month ends with a joyous occasion, a big meal, and, for many, a church service or large family gathering. Then, you get to wash the slate clean by changing the calendar to a new year.
What does May give you? June.

But eating well can help give you the energy you need to keep going. Get your sleep. Make your bed. Get a workout in. And, get your protein.
This protein ramen recipe uses multiple shortcuts to prepare a semi-homemade meal on the fly. Make it for one. Make it for four. It’s adaptable and delicious.

For each of these high-protein-with-fiber meals I’m creating in 2025, I’m listing pantry and kitchen staples that make throwing dishes together on the fly easy. For today’s recipe, I always have on hand:
Bone broth (I always have the powder on hand as a backup to the boxed variety)
You can add whatever vegetables you have on hand to this dish. Mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, onions … this is your dish to use up those veggies! And, you can substitute steak or shrimp easily for the chicken. Vegan? Make it with tofu and edamame and forgo the bone broth. But, if you’re vegan, I’ve probably already lost you and you aren’t reading this …
Here is this quick recipe. Keep it top of mind for the month of May, or for any night where life just gets to be a little much and you don’t want to hire a limo for your burrito (otherwise known as DoorDash).
