balanced BOWLS Chicken Ramen Bowl

Prep:10 mins Cook: 20 mins Serves: 4

ingredients:

2 eggs 4 cups chicken broth, low sodium 1 ½ tsp soy sauce, reduced sodium 2 chicken breast fillets, boneless and skinless (approx. 5-6 oz. each) 6-8 oz. ramen noodles (or thin spaghetti) ½ cup red cabbage, sliced ½ cup green cabbage, sliced 1 cup carrots, shredded 2 green onions, chopped hot chili oil or sriracha, to taste

This process will yield soft set eggs which are typically used in ramen bowls, if you prefer you can use hard boiled eggs instead.

2. Meanwhile, in a separate soup pot (or medium saucepan) add chicken broth and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and continue cooking until thoroughly cooked (about 8-10 min.).

Remove chicken breasts from broth, let cool to touch, and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to broth.

3. Add ramen noodles to pot with broth and shredded chicken. Cook noodles according to time indicated on package (approx. 3-5 min.) Add additional chicken broth or water as necessary. Add salt/pepper to taste.

4. Peel and halve eggs, set aside.

5. Remove soup from heat. Add cabbage and carrots. Serve immediately. Garnish with one egg half and chopped green onions.

Drizzle chili oil according to taste.

Bre w Your Own

1. Buy the freshest medium roast coffee beans possible, roasted locally if you can find them. The fresher the bean, the better the coffee.

2. Start with a ratio of ½ cup coarsely ground coffee beans to 1 ½ cups filtered water (or any 3:1 ratio of water to grounds will work).

3. Pour your grounds and water into a large glass jar.

Stir with a plastic or wooden spoon (metal can affect the taste of the coffee). Cover and let steep for 24 hours at room temp. After the 24 hour period, you can either finish the coffee at the base strength, or you can move it to the fridge and let steep for another 24-48 hours for a stronger brew.

4. Once your coffee has reached the desired strength, use cheese cloth, a fine mesh sieve, or a paper filter to separate the grounds from the coffee concentrate.

5. Store your coffee in the refrigerator for up to a week. After that, discard the coffee, as it will start to break down and the flavor will begin to degrade.

Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee Ingredients: Ground Coffee • Chilled or Room Temp Water Brew Time: 12-24 Hours Process: Let the ground coffee soak in the water for 12-24 hours then filter out the grounds.

Pros: Low Acidity • Smoother Taste • Not Watery • Keeps fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks Cons: Challenges your patience • More water and ground coffee needed

Ingredients: Ground Coffee • Hot Water about 200°F / 93°C Brew Time: Few Minutes Process: Pour hot water over the ground coffee, then add ice cubes.

Pros: Quick • Great Aroma • More Antioxidants • Less water and ground coffee needed Cons: Gets Watery • Not as tasty after 30 minutes or so

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles Prep: 1hr Cook: 30min Total Time: 1hr 30min | Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients 2 tbsp. Chobani® Plain Non-Fat 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Greek Yogurt 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet room temperature chocolate chips 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract

8 oz. dark chocolate candy coating (you can also try milk or white chocolate)

Preparation STEP 1 In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, two to three minutes. Mix in the Chobani® Greek Yogurt and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt and mix on low speed (or by hand) until incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes or until firm enough to handle.

Get Inspired with Chobani® Greek Yogurt Chobani Greek Yogurt is more than just breakfast; it’s a secret weapon in the kitchen.

With its thick, creamy texture, Chobani® Greek Yogurt is a delicious addition for use in multiple recipes. ®

STEP 2 Form the dough into one-inch balls and arrange them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Place the sheets in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.

STEP 3 Meanwhile, melt the chocolate candy coating in a double boiler or microwave, according to package directions, being careful not to overheat it. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip the truffles one at a time in the candy coating to cover. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to shake off the excess coating, and return the truffles to the baking sheets to set. Feel free to sprinkle with an extra topping, like toasted coconut, cocoa powder or sprinkles.

STEP 4 Refrigerate in an airtight container. Truffles will keep for up to one week.
