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

I was really hesitant to try this. It sounded amazing in theory...but I just wasn't sure. I'm especially leery of things that "take off" on social media as I find opinions on popular items tend to mimic what the majority are saying and I'm usually one of the voices of dissention on insanely popular products. Also, I tend to get bent out of shape about excessively pricey things...like $6 Ramen LOL. But I honestly liked this. Now, I'm not going to claim the experience was like in that ramen restaurant back in Japan (that's just dramatic), but for what it is...I think it is quite good. If you like whole wheat flavors and textures (things where you can candidly "taste" the fiber), I do not think you'd find these noodles very off putting at all. I'm a "don't leave a whole box of Triscuits next to me because they are going down!!!" kind of girl. While my husband is more of a "darling if you want to nibble on wood, we've got some out back and you really needn't pay for the privilege" kind of guy...and these are not quite his jam. Now if you like it smooth...you only eat white bread, white pasta...you're going to HATE this very much so save your $6/bag. But if a fibery texture does not typically bother you, you just might like this. I ate them plain...I did boil for 15 minutes like many have suggested then I just added the broth and ate it and I was fine. If you jazz it up with add-ins and extra flavors, I think it'd be really nice. So while it probably is not for everyone, I think it is worth a try to find out if it's for you, if you're curious! If this price ever comes down, it would be a welcome and frequent addition to my grocery cart.

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 ☺️
