Great Easy Meal Idea



When was the last time you ate ramen noodles? For me, it had been years, since I am always trying to eat Weight Watchers, and those little guys are full of calories and fat. But I have to admit, I love them. So lucky me, I was on a fun food site (for weight watchers) called greenlitebites.com and discovered a very cool little meal.
Traditionally, ramen noodles are deep fried. Thus all the calories and fat. But there are now ramen noodles that are not fried, called Choice Ramen. I bought some, and this is the recipe:

1 Package Choice Ramen Noodles
Frozen Broccoli
5 Frozen Shrimp (3 oz)

Boil 1 1/2 C water. Add ramen. Cook till almost done. Add seasoning, frozen broccoli, and frozen cooked shrimp. Stir. Cover and cook till broccoli and shrimp are hot, about 3 mins.
7 Weight Watchers Points.

So I have had this 3 times this week. It may have more sodium than is ideal, but boy is it good, filling, and easy! The ramen tastes just as good as the original.
