Has anyone tried any of the high Protein pastas? I bought some black bean Pasta, and it says that it has 25 grams of protein for two ounces. I am three months out and would love a small serving of pasta. Is this worth doing, or is this way madness?

I had the black bean for dinner last night with a little marinara sauce and a bit of chopped broccoli. Very tasty. I guess I'll try the garbanzo flavor next.

I am eating this Explore Asian protein pasta made from beans as well. It is awesome. The garbonzo bean spaghetti tastes exactly like ... Wait for it...spaghetti. I can also testify that the fiber is for real. You will not be constipated if you eat this with some bolognese (meat) sauce. I use both the zucchini noodles and the explore Asian pasta with my meat sauce - it's protein veg and eating real food like a normal person all rolled into one. I have to admit that it tastes so good I am still a little skeptical but I can tell you that the fiber is for real.

. Where do you get the garbanzo bean pasta? I googled it and could not find this particular flavor. Thanks so much!!

@@FocusOnMeNow I just bought a spiralizer. Im waiting for it to come in. Do you have to boil the zucinni after it is spiralized and before you serve it?

After it is spiraled I just do a quick sautee in a skillet.

@@stacy1204 my mistake they are not garbonzo Beans they are soybeans. It is soybean spaghetti, but in this case the color on the picture is of beige looking soy nuts, rather than green edamme.

Sorry for my mistake. But its really yummo.

Edamame and soy Beans are the same thing. I just checked the website. Apparently the edamame Pasta is still available.

Where can you get this?

Just saw the link to the online site. I will have to wait until I am ready to order several things so the shipping charges will be waved. Wish I could find locally.

My local Whole Foods carries it. You could buy 1 pack and see if you like it before investing in a larger shipment online

Hey, Thanks! I have one of those. I am going to give it a try when I reach the 30 day mark. ☺

Costco has edamame pasta.

I've had the Explore Asian soybean spaghetti, and Modern Table's lentil rotini. I liked them both and plan to have them again and try the other flavors. They fit into my protein/carb/calorie limits.

I've seen a lot of people say that they don't crave Pasta ever again after surgery, but for me, that has not been the case... so I feel like these are reasonable alternatives.

I do not like zucchini, and the thought of zucchini noodles makes me queasy.

I've had both the soybean and the black bean, as well as the shiratoki noodles and they are all good. My favorite are the black bean, as the texture is the most "al dente" to me and the shape of the noodles is similar to spaghetti. If I recall, the soybean noodles were similar to fettuccine. But considering we're not supposed to have real pasta for quite some time, they are all great substitutes and good ways to get extra protein in.

Where do ya'll find all of this black bean Pasta, eduname pasta, etc.? What big chain grocery stores carry them? We have a Winn Dixie by me. Do they carry that? What aisle do you find that in? The pasta aisle? How much are ya'll paying per pasta box/bag? Expensive?
