I get not everybody likes Ramen noodles. In fact, I haven't eaten them in decades but it's not because I don't like them - it's because I DO like them but the nutritional value left with my youth in the late 90's. The sodium levels were just something I chose not to include in my adult diet. Now that I have children who can purchase their own groceries (I said CAN, as in they have the ability from time to time), they come home with forbidden foods like: Doritos, energy drinks, box mac n cheese, nutella, and top ramen. I'll be honest - when I smell that delicious salty smell of artificial chicken it brings me back to my Lakeland College dorm room at 3am. I can hear the click click click of the word processor and the whir of the microwave as my delicious breakfast was being made.
Thanks for that moment...
Here I am, nearly 50, and I honestly miss those carefree years. Well, to my sweet surprise, there's now a thing called IMMI and they taut themselves as a delicious way to lose weight - I don't even care about that - I just see them as a healthy alternative to my ramen craving. I bought a variety pack and to my surprise they are absolutely delicious! Now, I just need a special bowl to eat them with - maybe strawberry shortcake? Pretty soon, all of my adolescent dreams will have come true!
If you were a ramen lover in your previous life and you want to integrate a healthy version of these delicious noodles into your grown up diet, stop by and check out IMMI: https://immieats.com/
