Ways to Make Ramen Noodles Healthy

What?! Make ramen noodles healthy? Yeah right!

I know it’s a stretch, but humor me and keep reading.

According to some, pasta isn’t the best thing in the world to eat and ramen is probably in the “stuck on the bottom of the barrel” of choices.

But times are tough for a lot of people who, as a result, are resorting to cheaper (crappier quality) foods in order to save money and simply SURVIVE during rough economic times.

I get it. Ramen noodles have definitely graced our pantry during both rough and not-so-rough times.

And since ramen noodles are probably one of THE most highly purchased cheap food items, and because I’m all about meeting people where they are, let’s try to make them at least a little healthier whether you feel “forced” to eat them or you just freakin’ LIKE eating them!

healthy alternative to potato chips

Potato chips are my favorite snack… well, one of ’em.

But with all the noise about GMO, trans fats and salt; it’s becoming harder to REALLY enjoy them without concern, that is unless you either want to spend a little more on healthier brands, or just say “eff it” and enjoy them AND the repercussions anyway.

Personally? I don’t have any intentions of totally giving up potato chips.

However, I don’t have a problem with cutting back on them and finding other, healthier ways of satisfying my “crunchy salt tooth” from time-to-time.
