Ahhhh, Ramen. This was a staple in my childhood upbringing. Well, the packaged 5-minute ramen, that is. No shame here! My mom always made it and always added in her own variations. We loved it! It was a super easy go-to dinner that also happened to be conveniently low in price. Today, we’re going with a healthier version: Vegan Ramen Soup w/ Zucchini Noodles! Read through the post or jump to the recipe here!

So what has changed since those 50 cent ramen days? I stopped eating these delicious noodles when I went off to college because that’s about the time I changed my lifestyle and started eating right. Have you seen the nutrition facts in those little noodle packs??? Unless you buy these vegan ramen noodles, which aren’t as bad. 🙂

So in my desperate attempt to indulge in this childhood fave, I present you with this healthy, Jar Of Lemons version!

Here’s what you’ll need for this Vegan Ramen Soup w/ Zucchini Noodles recipe:

A spiralizer like the Inspiralizer is a must! However, if you’re like me and don’t have room in your kitchen for such a glorious device, feel free to use a hand held spiralizer like I did in the video below.

Or you could always omit the zucchini noodles if you’re in a time crunch and go with the vegan ramen noodles I mentioned above. I mean, I know the zucchini noodles are an important part of this recipe and all, but REAL LIFE happens sometimes. 🙂 And that’s ok!

Also, this recipe is gluten-free if you’re using a gluten-free soy sauce (like this one)!

Also, even though I gave you measured out amounts of vegetables, feel free to add as much as you want. Or even different veggies. This recipe is also a little low in calories and protein, so be sure to add protein of your choosing! I only ask of you one thing…let me know what you end up doing. I love seeing your #JarOfLemons creations and variations!
