Easy Vegan Broth Recipe (great for Exercise Recovery!)

While everyone is talking about bone broth, this isn’t going to work for my vegan friends. I’m sharing with you a Vegan Broth that provides you with a wide range of nourishing micronutrients. A vegan broth can be made in a much shorter duration than a traditional bone broth. What makes this different from a traditional vegetable broth is the addition of various superfoods, like seaweeds and miso.

I explain a little about why seaweed is so beneficial for broth in my lengthy bone broth post. Seaweeds, and sea vegetables, provide rich minerals including:

• Bioavailable iron
• Vitamin C (helps the iron absorption)
• Iodine (helps the thyroid function properly)
• Wide range of vitamins and minerals including Manganese, Vitamin B2, Vitamin A, and Copper

Miso can be added to broth at the end of cooking. This provides probiotics to help aid digestion and boost immunity. Miso is fermented soybeans, and provides some gut-friendly bacteria like lactobacillus. If someone is dairy-free, miso is a great alternative to yogurt to get a dose of probiotics. However, soy is almost always genetically-modified. Look for Organic Miso to ensure you avoid GMO’s. Alternatively, there are some chickpea miso options on the market too if you are avoiding soy in your diet.

Use your vegan broth as way to rehydrate in the morning, or use as an exercise recovery drink. The wide range of minerals present are great for muscle recovery.
