Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Egg Noodles

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Egg NoodlesSometimes, it feels like you really have to sacrifice quite a bit to shave a point off of your pasta. We just tried Ronzoni’s Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Egg Noodles and flipped for them! At just 3 Points per cup (180 cals, 1 g fat, 6 g fiber), these egg noodles are packed with fiber (which makes them even more filling) and are delicious! We had them with Beef Stroganoff and a Cheddar Garlic biscuit and couldn’t be more satisfied!

The Weight Watcher’s community has been buzzing about these treats for a few weeks now, so when we found them in our grocery store we just had to try them. We’ve just completed our taste test and here are the results:

Chocolate Cake (80 cals/3 grams of fat/2 grams of fiber)

If you’re a sucker for Tasty Kake or Drake’s treats, this is for you. You’d never guess it was low-fat and it tastes just like the fat-filled lunchbox treats you used to love. Much like those lunchbox chocolate treats, though, these were tasty but a little on the dry side.

Carrot Cake (80 cals/ 2.5 grams of fat/2 grams of fiber)

These got a thumbs up all around! They have a bit more of an “adult” taste and were moist and chewy. And weighing in at a half gram of fat less than their chocolate counterparts, the carrot cake was a clear winner.

While these were both delicious, keep in mind that nothing is perfect. These are 80 calorie pieces of cake so they’re pretty small – about 4 bites each. They’re the perfect solution to satisfying a craving, but not really a filling snack.
