Seaweed Sushi Bowl

Bowl of seaweed sushi rice topped with fresh vegetables and sesame seeds, a gut-friendly recipe rich in iodine to support thyroid health and women’s energy and metabolism.

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.

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Divide the rice, avocado, cucumber, red pepper, green onion, seaweed, and sesame seeds evenly between four bowls.
