immiBlack Garlic "Chicken" Ramen, 100% Plant Based, Keto Friendly, Low Carb, High Protein, Packaged Noodle Meal Kit, Ready to Eat, 6 Pack

I’m not a traditional ramen eater. That stuff goes right to my rear end. If you’re looking for traditional ramen and judging this based on that, you’ll be disappointed. What I was looking for was something high protein and easy to prepare that could help me sustain my 45 pound weight loss. I found it! For me, it needs help with the taste. The texture is weird. I added two soft boiled eggs, some red miso paste, and real chicken pieces. Now it’s delicious! It’s also very filling. Im going to increase the frequency of my auto ship to every two weeks and add shrimp.

SEVERE GI and stomach pain caused me to eventually be hospitalized after eating this product for the first time. Ate ramen around 930pm and by 10pm began to feel increasing gas pain. By 11pm I had rolling waves of SEVERE gas pains in my stomache. It felt like my stomache was a balloon and someone was using a bike pump to super over inflate it. Felt like I had to poop or fart and could not. Burped a lot. By the time I worked up the courage to induce vomiting all I got was the taste of their seasoning. Pain got so bad by 6am the next day I begged my mom to take me to the emergency room. Even IV morphine wasn't enough to dull the pain.Cat scans showed no blockage, they ran a bunch of other tests while I was alternating crying and moaning in pain. Unable to find a medical reason they decided I had some kind of horrible reaction to whatever I had eaten recently. Since I had just come back from a vacation and was trying to take it easy I had only had this "healthy" ramen for dinner.I'm going to see a GI specialist next week and hope to have an update.Ramen was easy to cook and tasted great. However, when I broke my ACL and tore my knee I walked home on it. That hurt. THIS PAIN was like nothing I have ever dealt with and the fact that it was continuous and non stop made me consider jumping off my roof.

I was diagnosed with diabetes last year and was so sad that I couldn’t eat ramen anymore. I lived in Korea for a while in my 20s so it became a go to cozy comfort meal for me. These absolutely HIT THE SPOT if you modify! I know they are pricey, but you can get a big bowl of soup for a family with a packet of these and buying the rest of the add ins from Aldi. It rly isn’t any different from making any other meal when you consider how much you spend per pound of meat. I tend to start by chopping an onion and boiling it in water with the season packets and boullion or season to taste. Add the noodles, sometimes add pesto or basil, bring to a boil. Then I add veg. We do spinach, bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts, all different varieties. Then I add a protein. I’ve done sausage, pork, meatballs, steak, spam, or hotdogs lol. This is truly a fridge clean out meal. By the time the meat has cooked, the noodles have been boiling for like 20-30 minutes but they’re never mushy. They’re just right. And you have a delicious soup packed with veggies and protein that isn’t going to spike blood sugar. When I’m eating alone, I also add fly by jing chili crisp for an extra kick. But I’d say these noodles have been PERFECT for someone like me, who loves loves loves ramen and can’t eat it in excess anymore due to medical reasons. I highly recommend if you try, you supplement and turn it into a meal! I know it’s not the purpose of instant ramen, but I promise a little more time in the kitchen and you can have ramen that isn’t gonna make you feel yucky. Peace and love to y’all ☺️

These noodles do not taste good. Don’t get taken in by advertising suggesting otherwise. The texture is grainy and pastry, not at all springy like good noodles. The flavor is not awful, but definitely flat.

Look, you're buying a "healthy" noodle, so you already know it's not going to be top tier instant noodles, but for what it is, it's pretty good. I like the high protein and the low sodium. I'll be honest, if you're solely looking for a low calorie alternative to traditional ramen, I'd say go for Shin Light. The calories are comparable for a much tastier product. But if you are wanting low sodium, this does the trick just fine. The noodles are really where you can tell a difference. They've got more bite than a traditional noodle, so I'd recommend the full cook time. Speaking of, that is 10 minutes, which is much longer than you'd expect for ramen, so that's a factor.Flavor of this broth is pretty good. I'd go so far as to say it's better than instant chicken top ramen or maruchan, which I thought was impressive given the fact that this is a low sodium product.It IS filling, which I appreciate. As you can tell from the pictures I included, I jazzed mine up. I'm dieting, so having high volume low-calorie foods helps me a lot. I cooked some zucchini noodles in with the ramen and added some shredded cabbage in the last minute of cooking. I added some egg whites for extra protein, and I also added about a tsp of gochujang, the juice of one lime, and some green onions and culantro for flavor. (I'd do this with any ramen, for the record. I like having veggies in mine and lime juice is my fave in ramen.)So, I recommend trying it. As I said, if low cal is your only concern, Shin Light is better, but for low sodium and with the additional fiber and protein, this really isn't bad. It's a bit pricey, but if you have the occasional ramen craving, having this on hand is good.
