One of the most famous THM recipes is Egg Roll in a Bowl from our first cookbook. This is a nod to that recipe but in a single-serve E version, and it is simpler and faster to make. The coleslaw or sliced cabbage give lots of food volume to this recipe, the rice provides adrenal nurturing carbs, and the protein can be a lean form of whatever you prefer and in whatever E protein option best suits you. See page 380 of THW for more of the different types of Wizzy E proteins.

Note
Protein Nerd Notes
You can get your full Protein Nerd Level 3 protein amounts here by using 4 – 6 ounces of meat. If making that way, consider keeping the rice to ½ cup if your CLBM journey is still ongoing. Alternatively, you can reduce the meat to a garnish amount described on page 380 in THW (just 2 – 3 ounces) and get more protein using a powder such as a ½ serving of TH ESSENTIAL on the side, the Side Protein & Fiber Chocolate Milk or the PYY Booster using an extra tablespoon of TH Optimized Plant Protein. Or you can use close to a full serving of TH Optimized Collagen in a coffee or tea on the side.
Other Notes
You can use quinoa here in place of rice if your blood sugar is testier with rice or if you just prefer quinoa. Using just ½ cup of either rice or quinoa instead of ¾ may be more suited for you if you still have a way to go building back your CLBM, or you may do great with the full ¾ cup if you find it better nourishes your thyroid and adrenals. We are all unique and respond differently to different carbs and different amounts of carbs.
