I am always searching for low carb options that suit my T2 diet and which, if possible, my other half and two young kids enjoy. One winner is celeriac (as chips or boil and then mash with butter using a stick blender), it's this knobbly looking veg my daughter calls zombie brain.
For a spaghetti/noodle alternative we have tried barenaked noodles from Tesco (we score it as 3 out of 10), Oomi noodles from Sainsbury's (our score 6 out of 10) and today we discovered soy bean spaghetti at Aldi, it's produced by 'The Foodie Market'.
I would like to stress that I have no financial/business or other links with any of these supermarkets or food companies, but the Aldi product is looking interesting.
Just £1.70 for 200g, and the packet says only 2.1g of carbs per 100. I was sceptical, surely something made of beans could not be low carb, but we gave it a try today for lunch. Everyone liked the taste and texture, and my blood reading was 5 just before lunch and two hours later was 4.9. Our family score .... a good 9 out of ten. Has anyone else tried this product? Aldi also do a black bean spaghetti by 'The Foodie Market' which claims to have only 1.6g carbs per 100g. We will give it a go later this week.
