Its a Christmas Miracle!

Okay, its not a Christmas miracle, but its a miracle none the less.

Yes, my absolute favourite and best low-calorie food discovery is called... wait for it...

House Foods, "TOFU SHIRATAKI NOODLES"

What is this you may ask?

The best thing to ever happen to a calorie countin', wheat and dairy free girl such as myself!

So the details on these things: they sell them in more and more places now, where you buy them depends on how much they cost, I buy them at a place on 14th and lonsdale called "Anna's Produce" and they are $1.69 each. This is the lowest price I've seen them. At other places (such as Osaka, Thrifies, SuperValu) they are about $2.29 per package. 

But either way, worth it for sure!

They come in 3 varieties, Spaghetti, Fettucine, or Angel Hair.

So the nutrition information is as follows:

The entire bag is 40 calories- YES, you read correctly, 40 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 6 grams of carbs. This is a far cry from the hundreds of calories regular pasta contains.

Basically, you can eat as much as you want and you won't ever get fat, pretty sure its a secret of the people of asian countries.

The only ingredients are tofu, and yam flour. so pretty much anyone can eat these, and as they state on the package, they are gluten-free :) *Waring- for anyone who hasn't tried these before do not be alarmed by the scent of them when you first open the bag- they are in a liquid that smells ( yes, kind of fishy) but you simply rinse them, as directed, and voilà!

I like to do a variety of things with these noodles, from eat them alone with a bit of soy sauce, to making pasta dishes, stirfrys, you name it. I will add recipes which contain these noodles, so now you know a bit ( or a lot ) about them !

PS for anyone who is doing Weight Watchers, wether you are on the new points plus program or the old points program (like me), the entire package of noodles is FREE! 0 points for the whole bag, you really can't go wrong!

I will go into much more detail about Weight Watchers, as many people who know me will know, Im a LIFER! I write everything I eat down, and love it. Feel free to ask me questions about this as well, but I will write more about it!

So, to sum up, tofu noodles are the best thing to happen to the world (in my humble opinion) and  tons of my recipes will be added shortly to my Facebook page (Low-Cal Livin') as well as on here. 

Cant wait to get more info out to you guys!
