Check out my OTHER quick meal idea with these Ramen Noodles
Oh boy! If you are anything link me you lived off Ramen Noodles in college. They were cheep, fast and the perfect midnight snack!
The problem with them? Well let’s see, deep fried noodles. Ummm yeah, enough said.
So shortly after college I stopped buying them and honestly, I forgot about them until a couple of weeks ago. Someone mentioned in an email they saw a healthy version at the grocery store and wondered if I tried them. Sure enough, there they were! Right above the regular version in all the flavors I remember, chicken, shrimp and beef.
I bought one of each!
So how much healthier are they? well the bag (that’s right, the whole bag) is 280 calories, 2 g of fat and 4 g of fiber! That’s only 5 points for the whole bag!
That’s a HUGE serving, a real quick lunch and they taste e-x-a-c-t-l-y like I remember them!
Check GreenLiteBites tomorrow as I’m planning to make them for my weekly video posts!
Have you guys seen them already? Anyone else try them? I’m normally pretty late on these types of things! ;~)

I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...] -

I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

i’m so going to have to look for this!!
well they finally found an old comfort food and made it healthy!!! I am so excited to try them!
Thanks for the review of them!
Oh, I just got the hungry girl cookbook and a lot of the recipes remind me of things that you have made.
I’ve heard a lot about the book but haven’t picked it up yet. I’m rarely even on the site anymore, I just don’t have the time but now I’ll have to check it out!
Maybe she’s stealing my ideas! ;~P LMAO
I wish I could find these in Atlanta
I actually just bought 1 chicken and 1 beef last weekend.. I havent tried them yet but im glad to hear that they taste the same =]
GOOD G-D I LOVED THESE THINGS BACK IN THE DAY.

as my thighs attested to in college.
cant wait for the video.

OMG! Heathy ramen noodles? A dream come true for me!! One of my favorite foods…I’ve gotta find them!!
that is good to know! .. I think I am going to have to search them. I just had an eye opening experience yesterday when I was adding up points and noticing that a regular package of those can be 10 to 12 points!! .. and that is a killer! .. because I admit. I am kind of addicted to those. But as you know. I come to realize. if it is something you like. Be prepared to use the points. hahahaha!!
[...] 1 package of Beef flavored Choice Ramen Noodles [...]
I still have not found these choice Ramen noodles, where can i find them?
Becky – I’d ask your local grocery store. I now have seen them at every major chain by me. Normally mixed in with the regular ones.
What area are you in, maybe someone will post a store they know.
I’m in southeast Minnesota
Kroger in Atlanta in Ansley Park had them but I went today and no where to be found..
Choice ramen taste even better, to me(which is hard seeing as ramen noodles are one of the best food I eat), then the regular and I like that they are better for you. I have tried the herb chicken and the beef, I think i prefer the beef. Great in stirfries.
I am a vegetarian….so when I first found these, I would throw away the seasoning packet and just add my own broth. (The chicken seasoning actually has powdered chicken in it which struck me as sorta gross and funny at the same time!) Then I realized the beef seasoning IS vegetarian with no actual ‘beef’ in it. Kinda cool!
I love this choice ramen! and though 280 calories is much less than regular ramen, and there is oodles less fat is in choice ramen than regular ramen, i am a bit of a calorie counter…and i wonder how many calories i save if i use a 5 calorie chicken buillon cube as opposed to the seasoning packet, if any significant amount at all…would anyone happen to know?
Caroline… I don’t think it’s much. Most of the calories are in the noodles. Just so you know I use about 1/2 the packet. :)
Just got done eating them their amazing! Very small noodles but their not to bad.
I can’t find it anywhere in San Mateo County, Calif, in the 94080 area.
I am literally sick to learn that Choice Ramen is no longer being produced, after not finding it at the store. I usually clean off the store shelf when purchasing these. Economical, filling and healthy. WHY OH WHY did this happen. After reading other website entries about cost and “no flavor” I am angry. This is why we are a country of fat pigs! Let those people take regular noodles, through a steak and a stick of butter on it and cover it in salt.
I wish I could find these in my area…. I reallly miss them….. I just now read they stopped making them?!!? NOOOOO
