Noodles and Company have announced a new type of noodle for the carb-conscious diner. These "Leanguini" noodles have almost 60% fewer net carbs than regular noodles, which includes 30% fewer total carbs total and 44% more protein than their other noodle offerings. This may be helpful for folks hoping to cut down on some carbs this year.
It's important to note that while this is a carb cut on traditional dishes, 60% fewer net carbs in a dish isn't enough to make it keto for many people, especially those trying to keep their count under 20 a day. It's still a healthier option for those who would like to limit their carb count without cutting them out completely. The menu, which is being tested in a limited number of stores, features three dishes that are made to order: Leanguini Lemon Parmesan, Leanguini Fresca and Leanguini Shrimp Scampi.
Will you be trying these new lower-carb options? Are you like me, hoping that the company will feature shirataki noodles someday? Share your thoughts in the chat.
