Noodles are one of the foods that low carb dieters miss the most. But luckily, these Keto Psyllium Husk Powder noodles have got you covered. They are super easy to make and have just 2g net carbs per serving.
Hello noodle lovers.
Today I’m going to show you how to make quick and easy low carb noodles out of four basic ingredients. It is truly amazing what some eggs, cream cheese and a little bit of Psyllium Husk Powder can do.
WHAT IS PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER?
Quite simply, Psyllium Husk Powder is a type of flour made from pulverized Psyllium Husk shells. It is nearly all soluble fiber, so this flour is often used in low carb baking in place of white flour.
ARE THERE HEALTH BENEFITS TO CONSUMING PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER?
There certainly are. It has been shown to lower cholesterol in people with high cholesterol. And it has even lowered blood glucose levels in Type 2 Diabetics.
And last but not least…
Psyllium Powder is the main ingredient in the laxative, Metamucil. This is a food post, so I am not going to get into the health benefits of laxatives. Let’s just stick a pin in it and say that Psyllium Powder is often used to promote “regularity”.
HOW IS PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER USED IN LOW CARB DIETS?
It is most often used as a low carb flour in bread and other baked goods. When Psyllium Powder is combined with liquid, it gels and becomes an elastic dough. The powder acts a lot like the gluten that is missing in low carb flours like almond and coconut flour.
AND YOU CAN USE PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER TO MAKE NOODLES?
You can. To make these nice, chewy, low carb noodles, you’ll only need cooking spray, Psyllium Husk Powder, Cream Cheese, salt and eggs. And I’ve included step-by-step photographs below the recipe to show how easy the noodles are to make.
THESE NOODLES CAN BE EATEN JUST LIKE YOU WOULD ANY OTHER NOODLE.
Add some sugar-free tomato sauce, and you’ll have a 5g net carb dinner that is ready in less than 30 minutes. Make yourself some classic chicken noodle soup. Or even use the noodle dough to make lasagna.
Once you’ve got Psyllium Noodles, the World is your oyster.

November 20, 2019 at 11:00 amYou can keep these noodles in the refrigerator for 3-5 days before using them. Just warm them with the sauce or soup that you want to eat them with.

November 18, 2019 at 11:54 amOnce the noodles are cut how do you use them? Boiled in water as you would other noodles?
EmilyKrill says
November 18, 2019 at 12:12 pmOnce the noodles are cut, then they are ready to use as-is. They are not hard noodles that need to be boiled. All you need to do before serving them is to heat them through. So add them to soups, as the last ingredient, or warm them together with sauces.

November 18, 2019 at 11:31 amHi 😀 do these noodles stand up in boiling water? If so how long?
EmilyKrill says
November 18, 2019 at 12:09 pmThese noodles are fully cooked after you bake them, so you don’t need to boil them in water. But they will hold up well in hot soups, if that is what you are asking. They should be the last ingredient added to a soup, because they just need to be warmed through.

November 13, 2019 at 5:20 pmI used parchment paper on top and on the bottom and it worked great. Why is the silpat mat recommended?
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
November 13, 2019 at 5:23 pmYes, using parchment for both the top and the bottom is fine. I’ve found that the silpat has more grip than the parchment though, so it’s easier to spread out on the pan evenly.
