Game changer for Keto Pasta!
It was a while ago I bought these noodles and I wasn’t sure if they are Keto or not, I bought them just in case. I’ve done a bit of research, and the Edamame bean fettuccine are high in fiber and full of plant-based protein. The question is: ‘Is Edamame Keto approved?’ Although they are high in carbs, they are also high in fiber and Proteins. One large portion of cooked Edamame and Mung bean noodles have only 4.7 net carbs and not more than 7 Net carbs with sauce included.
As long as you stay under 25 g of net carbs per day, you will still remain in ketosis and remember, at the end of the day, if you still have a few extra carbs to grab around dinner time, this will be the perfect pasta dinner.
The portions are extremely large and I ate it all only because they were too tasty to stop when I was feeling full. I skipped lunch today, so I was able to indulge myself and make this scrumptious dinner!
I used a 200 g of Edamame and Mug fettuccine pack and made 4 large portions for dinner. The package advice is to use 50 g of dry pasta per portions. When cooked, you will get around 158 g of pasta.
