A topnotch pasta for those who want more fiber and less blood sugar spiking

I've been using Dreamfields pasta for about a year and a half now. It's become a kitchen staple for us. I bought it to help keep my sugar under control while still enjoying pasta dishes. My husband, a very finicky eater, didn't even notice it was high-fiber (well, until he got a bit gassy later). Tastewise, this is just as good as regular, quality pasta. (And not gritty like whole wheat ones can be.)

A very nice product, and a boon to those watching their sugar numbers. I'll add that I don't get the super-sleepiness after eating this pasta that I used to eating regular pasta (you know, that post-carb napping syndrome).

I've used the penne, the linguine, the elbow (for mac'n'cheese) and the lasagna (for veggie and regular lasagne casseroles). Great. All of them.

Thumbs up.

I have to limit my carbohydrate intake, but love pasta.  I bought a couple of different shapes (penne and rotini) of the Protein Plus pasta to cook for my family.
I've found that I don't have to cook nearly as much pasta for a meal, because the pasta is actually more filling than standard pasta.  A single serving provides 17 grams of protein, and coupled with a meat (turkey) sauce it is a filling meal.
I've found it doesn't cause the same spike in my blood sugar after eating, which means I can still enjoy the occasional pasta meal.

If you're a diabetic or looking for ways to lower your carbs, I highly recommend McCann's! As a diabetic myself, I'm always on the hunt for new and tasty foods that will be easy on my sugar. I was thrilled to find McCann's Instant Sugar Free Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeat at a local Fresh Market .. even more thrilled to find that it has 15 net grams of carbs and 100 calories per package ... and that it really does taste great! I've now taken to eating it as a snack during the day as well since it's so filling.  Yum!

I live on a ketogenic diet and really miss noodles at times.  Well, I have discovered that a bubbling pot of my Sicilian Mom's spaghetti sauce with a few veggies and Italian sausage added make a spaghetti dinner very close to what our family ate every Sunday evening.
Really works well as a noodle substitute.  Great in stir fry too.  It is a bit pricy but worth it.  It doesn't raise my blood sugar or my weight.

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  I lived off of Pasta and Bread.  I used to make a homemade Tuna Casserole --- this is just as good if not better.  If I didn't tell you that it was corn pasta you would never know!!!!!  The sauce is creamy and delicious!!!!  If you are going through flour withdrawals like me, this will help make the transition easier.  Oh and it is so easy to make, my 12 year old can do it.

Delicious and easy way to add fiber to your diet. One bar gives you almost half of the 35 grams an adult should get each day. And these bars are low in sugar. Love 'em!

Got this from the library since insurance company put me on a diet due to somewhat high sugar levels indicating prediabetes. Four ingredients sounded easy.

I was writing down recipes to copy and by p. 90 realized I should buy it . I need ways to add vegetables to my diet (grilled asparagus!). I will modify most of the recipes that call for condiments that I don't have.

So far, chili over microwaved potato is the big hit. My husband asked me to pick up larger russets and keeps pushing me to have it again. Two times in 7 days! I need more variety even if I liked it alot. We add mushrooms bc we love mushrooms.  Pretty low in fat yet lots of fiber and protein. Can't wait to try Rosemary rice with fresh spinach greens. Which reminded me to grill up asparagus and zucchini!

So mainly it reminds me what I like (pasta d'mushrooms, microwaved sweet potatoes, and to add broccoli to our weekly rice pilaf with peas) and inspires me to try new recioes like Beef strips with sweet ginger sauce, yumm can't wait!

The chapters, with several recipes in each, are: beverages,  breakfast,  snacks,  salads, soups, poultry,  pork, beef, seafood, vegetarian dishes,  potatoes pasta and grains, veg and fruit sides, desserts.

I know I could find all kinds of good recipes online,  like at food.com which took over recipezaar. but having a book is inspiring. I took off a star bc of all the modifications I will have to make or shop for condiments that would just be used the once. Also I don't do sugar substitute and don't need to restrict salt which they seem to take as a given.

Hope this helps

The macronutrient profiles on these things are fantastic for those wanting a good source of protein and lower net carbs in their menu. The flavor is notably different from semolina and similar traditional pastas, and the texture is like a stiffer al dente version of those even when thoroughly cooked, but I personally prefer it. I highly recommend cream or oil-based sauces in preference to red ones to take advantage of those differences! People on a Low-Carb/High-Fat nutrition scheme like ketogenic diets, Atkins, etc. will want to look into a good alfredo or spicy peanut sauce for thse.

I am diabetic and sometimes I need to quell my hunger with a low carb snack and this is just the trick. Originally purchased at Costco but happy to find on amazon when Costco ran out. I mix in ground flaxseed, super green food powder, turmeric and black pepper, a tad of stevia, and chia seeds with unsweetened coconut milk to make a delicious and low carb meal that does not elevate my blood sugar yet gives me the protein I need and the benefits of the other ingredients I add.

I have used Dreamfields Healthy Carb Living pastas for over a year now.  I like the taste of whole wheat pastas, but some people don't or they don't want to eat it all the time.  If you are a low-carber (or not) who misses the regular semolina pasta with all the full-carb taste, then this pasta is definitely for you.  It tastes Sooooo good!  I have tried all of the shapes, and they are all great.  No more waiting for special occasions or treats to get the high-carb taste you love.  With 1 gram fat, 5 grams fiber (4g soluble/1g insoluble), 7 grams protein, and only 5 grams digestible carbs, you can't go wrong buying this great product.

Dreamfields is great for those who have diabetes or metabolic or insulin resistance, or people who want to eat low-glycemic, low-carb, Atkins, Body for Life, etc.  Macaroni and Cheese, Lasagna, Meatballs and Spaghetti, Linguine with Clam Sauce, Penne Primavera--endless possibilities for low-carb meals, now.  I can't wait for other shapes to be introduced (hint, hint)--fettucine, cavatappi, orzo, angel hair, and on and on.

Good no carb substitute for high carb pasta. Slight fish odor.

These are delicious. They have 10 grams net carbs per serving plus a lot of fiber. The taste is different from regular pasta, but it's a nice change of pace.  It goes just fine with red sauce or white sauce.

The fiber is good for you, but let's just say you do not want to overeat this.

The Family is going low carb higher lean protein to attempt to drop some weight. These Miracle Noodles are great in pasta and we make a lot of Pho or veggie soup with these noodles. They are filling and very low in carbs.

They initially smell fishy but apparently that is from the root they are derived from. Rinse them off with hot water, no cooking needed, use them as you would any cooked noodle. They do not taste fishy in fact they are rather bland.

We throw them in Marinara or Pho or just a stir fry. We have tried the Rice, Fettucini, Angel Hair and Spinach Noodles all work fine. You can also buy these from a different supplier out of Gardena, CA  that has Spinach. Cannot tell the difference except they are Green.

We are using the heck out of them and so far so good.

This is a great snack for those who are carb conscious. Because it's made with beans, which are complex carbs, you can snack on a handful of these at a time and not have blood sugar spikes unlike regular cheese doodles. Also, because these are made of beans, they are more satiating and packs fiber and protein. They can feel a bit dense in texture, and there doesn't seem to be any flavor enhancers that regular puffed corn snacks have, but you get over that rather quickly. Totally recommend!

If you want a low carb-high fiber bean, this is it. It is especially useful in a diet for type 2 diabetics.

Great substitute for low carb diet, and the texture if very close to the real pasta and rice. Good buy.....
