Review: NoOodle (The Miracle Noodle)

Ok, so I’ve read a ton about NoOodle. The 'miracle noodle'. The all natural zero calorie, zero fat, zero carb, zero soy, zero gluten noodle.

First impressions? Dubious. I’m not big into the latest celebrity fad diets of which NoOodle seems to be one. How can something with zero everything taste of anything?

Plus, what the packaging doesn’t promote is zero nutritional value and I’m of the mind that food is fuel. Either that or it better taste daaaam good. If this isn’t fueling my body or tantalizing my taste buds then what’s the point?

Still, in the spirit of don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, I gave them a whirl.


Following the instructions carefully, I rinsed the noodles in water. The smell is horrendous but quickly went away after rinsing.

I dry fried them off in a pan and had a quick taste. Nothing. Slimy nothingness. 

In attempt to make zero everything taste like something I added a little homemade marinara sauce and a few shakes of extra spicy Mrs Dash. Threw in a little chicken and some veggies (mainly in fear of wasting away without any calories on my plate).

After all that – actually not that bad. The sauce and the spices perked up the nothingness no end and the result was actually rather a nice meal. 

The verdict? Meh. If you’re desperate to fill up without any consuming any calories then NoOodle is a good option – just make sure you add something for flavor. The NoOodle website has plenty of recipes: www.nooodle.com.  

Although, I’m still of the mind that if you want to fill up without the calories then you’d be better off with a few extra veggies.
