How about being MSG free and palm oil free? Good clean organic eating is just a cup away. No animal protein at all! 100% plant-based noodles means less impact on the planet. And to further reduce the carbon footprint, Chef Woo is lovingly made domestically. Not only that, Chef Woo is also both Kosher and Halal-certified. Chef Woo isn’t your everyday cup ramen. Their foodie worthy flavors take instant ramen to the next level. Enjoy authentic ramen. Eat it on its own or add your own toppings.

    Roasted Chicken Flavor

    Chef Woo classic Roasted Chicken ramen is a popular choice while getting 20 grams of plant-based protein per serving. It’s a satisfying meal with complete protein in minutes. Enjoy the cup of noodles and broth as is, or spicy ramen with your favorite hot sauce.

    Thai Lemongrass Flavor

    Satisfy your body and soul with Chef Woo. The refreshing flavor of lemongrass blends together with traditional Thai spices to create a flavor explosion for your tastebuds in this organic instant noodle cup.

    Braised Beef Flavor

    The rich, braised beef flavour and the organic ramen noodles come together to make the perfect quick and nourishing meal. Eat it on its own or add your favourite toppings to it, this vegan and kosher certified instant ramen is sure to satisfy the foodie in you.

     

    Sweet Chili Togarashi Flavor

    This classic Japanese spice blend consists of chili flakes, seaweed, sesame seeds, and sometimes orange peel. So you can expect a flavor profile that melds into a spicy, umami and slightly sweet ramen broth.

Celebrity chef George Duran has crafted a delicious, refreshing, and easy-to-make drink recipe to keep you cool and hydrated this summer. Impress your guests at party time with a tasty and fun Wonder Melon Sangria.

    For a lively and buzzing cocktail with a fruity twist, try George Duran’s delectable watermelon sangria, using Wonder Melon® for delicious flavor and guilt-free nutrition. The all-natural, 100% organic cold-pressed juice makes for a great mixer that almost anyone can enjoy because it is vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, non-GMO verified, certified fair trade, and contains no added sugar, artificial ingredients, or artificial colorings. Fight off those hot summer temperatures and quench your guests’ thirst with some Wonder Melon Sangrias that are easy to make, fun to look at, and even more fun to drink. Here’s the recipe:

    Ingredients:

    • 2 pints strawberries, hulled and chopped
    • Granny Smith apple slices cut into shapes
    • 1 cup blueberries
    • 5 cups Wonder Melon juice
    • 1 bottle dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
    • ½ cup brandy
    • ½ cup orange liqueur
    • Ice

    Directions:

    • Put all the ingredients into a large pitcher and gently stir to mix. Add some ice.
    • Pour into glasses making sure to get a nice helping of fruit into each one.
    • Serve with spoons.

    Makes about 10 servings.

    “I love using watermelon in my summer drinks because it’s naturally refreshing and has tons of benefits for the body,” George Duran says. “I use Wonder Melon in my recipes because the cold-pressed juice helps to retain those nutritional benefits while offering the full watermelon flavor.”

    National Watermelon Day falls on August 3rd, while students are out of school and travel and festival seasons are in full swing. George Duran’s crowd-pleasing drink recipe is perfect for all your summer entertaining. They’re incredibly easy to make, and great for any host to serve up some fun presentation without spending the day in the kitchen. Plus, guests will be happy to know that they can consume the healthy and tasty drinks as much as they like, guilt-free.

    Wonder Melon is the not-so-secret ingredient in George’s Wonder Melon Sangria. The watermelon-based bottled drink is a thirst-quencher for folks looking for a clean yet flavorful drink, as it’s made from 100% organic cold-pressed juice with no added sugar, artificial ingredients, or artificial colorings. Wonder Melon is 100% organic, all-natural, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, non-GMO verified, and certified fair trade.

    Cold-pressed juice, as opposed to other forms of fruit juice, is made with a hydraulic press, allowing for maximum extraction of the fruit or vegetable’s juices and nutrients. With health and wellness becoming increasingly popular, consumers often seek out food and drinks to help boost the immune system. As such, cold-pressed juices have been rising in popularity as a healthy and guilt-free treat.

    Watermelons are one of the most popular fruits in America, partly for their delicious taste, and partly for their nutritional advantages. They are made up of 92% water, making them excellent for hydration, plus they’re packed with nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which is beneficial for digestion, heart health and blood pressure.

    George Duran is a polylingual chef, comedian and host and culinary contributor for Good Morning America. He is the host of TLC’s The Ultimate Cake Off!, and is well-known for his Food Network show Ham on the Street.
