How to Select the Healthiest Instant Noodles

If you do enjoy the occasional cup of noodles, there are ways to make it healthier.

Picking instant noodles made from whole grains, for example, can increase fiber content and boost feelings of fullness.

Lower-sodium instant noodles are also available and can help bring down your sodium intake for the day.

Dr. McDougall's, Koyo and Lotus Foods are just a few brands that sell some healthier varieties of instant noodles.

You can also use your instant noodles as a base and top them with some healthy ingredients to make a more well-rounded meal.

Throwing in some vegetables and a good source of protein can enhance the nutrition profile of your instant noodle dinner.

SUMMARY: Choosing instant noodles that are lower in sodium or made from whole grains can give your instant noodles a healthy upgrade. Adding vegetables and a protein source can help round it out.
