hey everyone welcome back today we're
0:01
taking a deep dive into the world of
0:03
noodles that's right but not just any
0:05
noodles yeah we're talking about the
0:06
kind that let you enjoy past tonight
0:09
without the calorie overload we're going
0:10
to explore some surprisingly delicious
0:12
and low calorie noodle Alternatives
0:15
seriously you can have your noodles and
0:17
your weight loss goals too absolutely
0:20
okay so first up we have shiraki
0:23
noodles no these these noodles are made
0:26
from the kjack plant and get ready for
0:28
this they only have a 11 calories per
0:31
100 gr wow I was shocked when I first
0:34
learned that it is pretty remarkable how
0:37
can something that resembles pasta be
0:39
that low in calories well the conj plant
0:41
is naturally low in calories and
0:43
carbohydrates and the noodles are mostly
0:45
made up of water and fiber that fiber is
0:48
actually key here because it helps you
0:50
feel full and satisfied which is a huge
0:52
bonus when you're watching your calorie
0:54
intake so if I'm craving a big bowl of
0:56
pasta but I don't want to totally blow
0:57
my calorie budget for the day sure talki
1:00
noodles could be a good option exactly
1:02
and don't worry they're not just some
1:03
bland tasteless substitute Shiri noodles
1:07
have a slightly chewy texture and
1:09
they're really good at absorbing flavors
1:11
from sauces so they can actually be
1:13
quite versatile in different dishes all
1:15
right onto the next
1:16
Contender zucchini noodles or zoodles as
1:20
some people call them zoodles these are
1:22
definitely having a moment right now and
1:24
for good reason they're Super Fresh
1:26
Light and come in at just 16 calories
1:29
per 100 Gam I mean you're basically
1:31
eating zucchini right right and that's
1:32
what's so great about them you're
1:33
getting a good dose of veggies while
1:36
still enjoying a noodle like experience
1:38
plus they're really easy to make you can
1:40
use a spiralizer to create those long
1:42
thin noodles or you can simply use a
1:45
vegetable peeler to make whiter ribbons
1:48
I actually have a really simple zoodle
1:49
recipe that I love I just sauté them
1:51
with some garlic and olive oil until
1:53
they're slightly tender then top them
1:55
with a Sprinkle of Parmesan cheese it's
1:57
light flavorful and you can feel good
1:59
about eating a whole plateful that
2:01
sounds delicious and it highlights how
2:03
simple and satisfying healthy cooking
2:05
can be now if we're talking about
2:07
noodles with a bit more protein soba
2:10
noodles are a fantastic option they're
2:13
made from buckwheat and have a unique
2:14
nutty flavor I've had soba noodles in
2:17
cold salads before and I really enjoy
2:19
that earthy flavor but are they really
2:21
considered low calorie they are soba
2:23
noodles have about 99 calories per 100
2:26
gam and provide around 5 gram of protein
2:29
per serving which makes them more
2:31
satisfying than some of the other
2:32
options we've discussed so if you're
2:34
looking for a post-workout meal that
2:35
won't derail your calorie goals but will
2:38
give you that protein boost to help your
2:40
muscles recover soba noodles could be a
2:42
great choice absolutely and don't be
2:44
afraid to get creative with them they
2:46
can be enjoyed in cold salads stir fries
2:48
or even in light broths speaking of
2:50
protein powerhouses let's move on to
2:51
quinoa noodles these are definitely
2:53
heartier than the other noodles we've
2:55
talked about so far they have about 191
2:57
calories per 100 grams uh but they ALS
2:59
also pack a serious nutritional punch
3:02
right quinoa is what's known as a
3:04
complete protein this means it contains
3:07
all nine essential amino acids our
3:09
bodies need but can't produce on their
3:11
own and that's a big deal especially for
3:13
people who are following a vegetarian or
3:15
vegan diet so if you're looking for a
3:17
plant-based noodle that can really hold
3:19
its own in terms of protein quinoa
3:22
noodles is a great option plus I love
3:24
that nutty slightly earthy flavor they
3:26
have me too they work well in so many
3:29
dishes stir fries salads or even just
3:32
toss with some olive oil and your
3:33
favorite veggies now I know we're
3:34
talking about low calorie noodle options
3:36
but we can't forget about Good Old whole
3:39
grain noodles I mean they're not as low
3:40
in calories as some of the others but
3:42
they're still a healthier choice
3:44
compared to refined white pasta right
3:46
definitely whole grain noodles have
3:47
about 348 calories per 100 gram however
3:51
they are packed with fiber which we know
3:52
helps slow down digestion Keeps Us
3:55
feeling Fuller longer and can even help
3:57
regulate blood sugar levels okay so if
4:00
you're looking for a noodle that will
4:01
keep you satisfied and energized for
4:03
longer while still being a healthier
4:05
option than traditional white pasta
4:08
whole grain noodles are worth
4:09
considering exactly and don't forget all
4:12
of these noodles can be incredibly
4:13
versible depending on how you prepare
4:15
them and what kind of sauces you pair
4:17
them with that brings us to a really
4:19
important question what are some of the
4:21
best sauces to use with these low
4:24
calorie noodles if we're trying to keep
4:25
things healthy that's a great question
4:27
let's dive into some delicious and
4:29
healthy sauce options in the last part
4:31
we talked about all kinds of noodles
4:33
yeah so many great options but um you
4:35
know what really makes a noodle dish the
4:38
sauce absolutely the sauce can make or
4:40
break a dish but if we're trying to keep
4:43
things Light and Healthy we need to be
4:45
mindful of what we're adding so let's
4:47
say I'm craving a creamy pasta dish what
4:50
are some healthy sauce options that
4:52
won't totally derail my healthy eating
4:54
goals well you might be surprised to
4:56
hear that Greek yogurt can actually be a
4:58
fantastic base for creamy sauces it's
5:02
high in protein low in fat and has that
5:05
Tangy flavor that works so well in
5:07
Savory dishes I love Greek yogurt but
5:10
I've never thought about using it as a
5:11
sauce for pasta oh yeah you can whisk it
5:14
with a little lemon juice garlic and
5:15
herbs to create a ziki inspired sauce
5:18
that's perfect for zoodles or even
5:21
shirataki noodles or you can blend it
5:24
with avocado for a richer creamier
5:26
texture okay that's definitely going on
5:28
my list of things that try what about
5:30
those times when I'm craving a classic
5:32
tomato sauce are there any healthy
5:33
twists on that of course you can't go
5:36
wrong with a simple tomato based sauce
5:38
just make sure to choose a low sodium
5:39
variety and then Jazz it up with fresh
5:41
herbs spices and a touch of garlic yeah
5:44
I actually think homemade tomato sauce
5:45
is so much better than the store bad
5:47
stuff you can really control the flavors
5:49
and avoid all those added sugars and
5:50
preservatives exactly and don't
5:53
underestimate the power of a simple
5:55
lemon herb dressing a squeeze of fresh
5:58
lemon juice some chopped herbs like
6:00
parsley or Dill a drizzle of olive oil
6:03
and a pinch of salt and pepper can
6:05
create a light and refreshing dressing
6:07
that complement the delicate flavors of
6:09
zoodles SOA noodles or even quinoa
6:13
noodles ooh yeah I'm a big fan of lemon
6:16
and herbs so that's definitely a sauce
6:17
I'll be trying now for those of us who
6:19
are feeling a bit more adventurous in
6:21
the kitchen are there any other um like
6:24
out of the-box sauce ideas that are
6:26
still healthy well if you're into those
6:28
rich and nutty flavors you experiment
6:30
with cashew cream cashew cream yeah you
6:33
can soak cashews and then blend them
6:35
until they're smooth and creamy it makes
6:36
a delicious and surprisingly healthy
6:38
sauce that works W with shirataki
6:40
noodles or even zoodles cashew cream
6:42
I've heard of that but I've never
6:43
actually tried making it sounds really
6:45
good though it is it's surprisingly easy
6:47
to make and it's a great way to add
6:49
healthy fats and a creamy texture to
6:51
your dishes you can even add different
6:53
flavors to it like garlic herbs or even
6:55
a Touch of Spice Okay so we've covered
6:58
creamy sauces tomato Bay sauces light
7:00
and tangy dressings and even cashew
7:02
cream I'm feeling inspired to get
7:04
creative in the kitchen what are some of
7:07
your personal favorite ways to use these
7:08
low calorie noodles well I'm a big fan
7:11
of using zoodles as a base for a light
7:13
and refreshing salad I'll toss them with
7:15
a lemon herb dressing some cherry
7:17
tomatoes cucumbers and a Sprinkle of
7:19
feta cheese for a simple and satisfying
7:21
meal that sounds so good I love how
7:24
zoodles add that like vibrant freshness
7:25
to any salad what about when you're
7:27
looking for something a bit more
7:28
substantial if I want a heartier meal I
7:31
love making a stir fry with quinoa
7:33
noodles I'll sauté some colorful veggies
7:36
like Bill Peppers broccoli and snap peas
7:38
with a little garlic and ginger then
7:40
toss them with the cooked quinoa noodles
7:41
and a flavorful sauce made with soy
7:43
sauce sesame oil and a touch of honey
