I bet I’m not the only one who grew up eating those really cheap, easy-to-make ramen noodles with flavor packets. (The oriental flavor was vegetarian-friendly.) So, I’d take them to school, and eat them dry (gross, I know). Whether we like to admit it or not, when prepared according to the instructions, that sodium bomb ramen was pretty good (tasting) nonetheless.
The options are endless when it comes to takeout, which makes it easy to rely on restaurants for your daily grub. Hey, sometimes you just need some hot, comforting noodles conveniently packed up in one of those cute cardboard containers. But if takeout becomes a daily habit, you could be heading for some problems.
I am a self-proclaimed healthy eater, but I would be completely lying if I said that I never eat packaged convenience food. The easy and quick nature of something nearly ready-prepared is hard to beat, but the nutrition is often lacking. On nights when we can’t seem to possibly get everything done, I reach for an old standby: packaged ramen. Now I know what you’re thinking, “You can’t be serious! Ramen? Those heavily processed bricks of noodles?” Yes, I mean that ramen!
