Zero Calorie Pasta

Miracle Noodles - The Zero Calorie Pasta!?! - LaaLoosh



Yes, the Gods have finally answered my prayers….a ZERO calorie pasta has been created! When I first heard about Miracle Noodle and their no-calorie Shirataki noodles, I was hesitant to believe it was possible to have pasta that has no calories, yet my interest was piqued. I knew I had to try it. After reading through Miracle Noodle’s website, I learned a lot about these special Shirataki noodles. Unlike typical pasta noodles which are made from grain-based flours, and thus loaded with lots of calories and carbohydrates, Shirataki noodles are made from yam flour. So you wind up with gluten-free, calorie-free, low-carb pasta! Granted, the texture of these noodles is a bit different than regular pasta, but the taste is good, they are quite filling, and you can use these in a such wide variety of recipes. And when you think of the calories you’re saving, it’s a fantastically fair trade.

Hmmm... do they 'not digest' so that your toilet ends up looking like a bad scene from "Extreme Cases of the E.R"...

They taste nothing like pasta and have a smell like a dirty streetwalker and the texture of a rubber band.

There's the low carb whole wheat pasta in the yellow boxes. That's what I get when I eat carb's. Spagetti squash works great for a lot of recipes.
