Seaweed Sushi Bowl
A recipe your thyroid will actually thank you for
If you've been wondering why your energy and metabolism feel off, I go deep on what's actually happening in this post. This bowl is a simple way to start supporting your thyroid while you're at it. Seaweed is one of the richest natural sources of iodine, a mineral your thyroid needs to produce the hormones that regulate your energy and metabolism and most of us don't get nearly enough of it from everyday food. This bowl is an easy, family-friendly way to change that.
Seaweed Sushi Bowl

Ingredients
Bowl

2 avocados, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, diced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
2 green onions, chopped
4 tablespoons dried seaweed (arame, wakame, or crumbled nori sheets)
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
Dressing
6 tablespoons rice vinegar
6 tablespoons gluten-free tamari sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Divide the rice, avocado, cucumber, red pepper, green onion, seaweed, and sesame seeds evenly between four bowls.
Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small jar or bowl.

Tip: This is a great lunch to take on the go. Keep the dressing in a separate container and give it a shake before pouring — it keeps everything fresh and crisp until you're ready to eat.
