- 🡆 bean sprouts – these can be canned and drained or fresh whatever you prefer (watch sodium counts)
- 🡆 carrots can be cut, chopped, or tossed in whole (mini) or to up the value use organic carrots.
- 🡆 celery adds a really nice crunch to the salad so you’ll want to cut it small and enjoy each mouthful
- 🡆 baby cucumbers – you can use seedless or not, and any kind of cucumber will work, do peel the skin off,
- 🡆 navel oranges or blood oranges are delicious in this recipe,
- 🡆 whole-grain basmati rice makes the bowl even heartier
- 🡆 buttercrunch lettuce – for those that love to wrap their meals, use it to wrap or inside the bowl for a layer
Remember, the Noom is a versatile lifestyle option so add the ingredients you prefer but stay within the green options. There are plenty of green options available outside of those I shared.
How To Make The NOOM Green Meal
In this recipe for the bean sprout shrimp and citrus salad, I will assume that you have made your rice ahead of time so there is not a step included, plus you can purchase those 1-minute whole-grain cups and toss it in the microwave, so there is no need to add that step to this.
Step 1: Shrimp Prep for the Unofficial Green Recipe
Make sure your shrimp are fully cooked, take off the tail, and place them in the bowl.
Step 2: Work Those NOOM Green Food Options Into The Bowl
Next, add your drained bean sprouts you do not want the water the sprouts are in!
Now add the cooked brown basmati rice.
Then toss in fresh slices of peeled cucumber.
Last, add a peeled navel orange to the bowl.
Feel free to add a dash of garlic salt if you like as well depending on your sodium intake wants or needs.
Other Optional Items You Can Add To Your Bowl
Here are some ideas to help you if you prefer, but each has sodium, or may contain a YELLOW mark, but, it is all personal choice.
- Feta
- Vinaigrette
- soy sauce
- coconut aminos
- fresh lime juice
- ketchup sprinkles (Trader Joe’s)
- Balsamic Glaze (sugar content tho)
If you choose to dress this salad and you don’t want any of the aforementioned, consider lemon or lime freshly squeezed atop.
Step 3: Wrap This Bowl Up!
We love this part of the bowl making process, because you get to wrap up what you made and it is a wholesome, delicious and easy way to enjoy this bowl meal without eating it from the bowl and instead digging in hand to mouth with a wrap that is healthy!
Get those rinsed and dried large buttercrunch lettuce leaves, plated.
Set the big bowl green salad on teh table.
Accompany it with a large platter of rinsed and dried buttercrunch leaves.
Hold one buttercrunch leaf in your hand, and then place any of the bowl contents into the lettuce leaf.
It’s easieri to make this right in the palm of your hand, this way you don’t overstuff it and you can close it.
Once you have stuffed the lettuce leaf (you can use romaine lettuce too, but you would not roll it, because it will tear) Roll and enjoy it!
Serve the NOOM Big Bowl Filled with Yum
And now I present to you the big bowl of yum or the NOOM green nourish bowl or the bean sprout shrimp citrus salad, whatever you want to call it!
You’ve got so many options when you choose Noom, and this is just one, there is a whole big grocery store of fresh options for you, get going!
Get NOOM to make the change and you will totally NOT regret it.
Dive in, take the plunge, and NOOM away those pounds and you will see what I mean.
After one week, you will know more about what you are not doing right in your current eating lifestyle.
Small changes LEAD TO huge improvements.

You can Google and find a list of NOOM Green Foods, or you can join the plan and grab the NOOM info here!
Even if you add in the yellow and red items (you have to), you will lose, if you don’t exceed portions.
Again, I will say, jump over to the NOOM site, and in about 10 minutes, sharing a little about yourself, you’ll be on your way to a healthier, leaner, more satisfied, version of YOU!
