Our nutrition expert, Melanie Waxman, has shared this great recipe for fitness. Soba noodles have the perfect ratio of carbs to protein which is ideal for replenishing amino acids and repairing any muscle that has been broken down while training. Buckwheat is also a complete protein. The addition of shiitake mushrooms and edamames gives a rich, satisfying meaty taste. Topped off with Chinese cabbage, garlic, and ginger which are all anti-inflammatory.
