I found it when talking with a friend about calorie counting. I looked up low calorie foods and found Fiber Gourmet Pasta on Amazon ( of all places). It can be hard to find in stores and the stores I frequent weren't listed when I searched on their site, as carrying it. So I ordered some. I know many people who are trying to be healthy eat the whole grain or whole wheat pastas, that are a brown color. To me these are not as good tasting as regular pasta or as soft. I can honestly say that Fiber Gourmet Pasta does taste like regular pasta! I can also say it has 40% fewer calories than regular pasta, at just 130 calories a serving!!! It also has a ton of fiber which is great for your health- an 18 whopping grams that is! ( 72% of what one needs daily). To me this is a win win! I can have my pasta, and I can have no guilt about eating it too! I will provide a link to their website if you are interested in trying it. The company also has other foods like crackers and cake mixes and Macmmmcheese ( which I have also tried, comparable to the blue box, but the cheese doesn't cover all the noodles as well, still good though if you've ruled out the blue box due to wanting to loose weight etc.) Oh and their products are made in the US with ingredients from the US! (no lead from China ( j/k)) http://www.fibergourmet.com/ClassicPastaHealthy.aspx
Here are the nutrition facts off of their pasta. In looking at their site they also have different flavors like tomato, garlic and parsley, one of which is Whole Wheat. Here is the nutrition label from http://www.fibergourmet.com/Nutrition.aspx
Would you try Fiber Gourmet pasta? Do you have other pasta recommendations? Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear what you think!
I do not work for or get anything from Fiber Gourmet or anyone else for expressing these opinions.
I had some yesterday and made my own mac 'n cheese using fat free milk and reduced fat cheese. Not the blue box but, as you said, it IS mac 'n cheese. Yummy!
