Meal Planning with Lotus Foods Part 1

RICE RAMEN NOODLE SOUP CUPS

Living that student life? Cooking for kids now at home for school? Just really busy and need a fast lunch? Either way, quick, nourishing, and satisfying meals are KEY.

We partnered with Work Week Lunch, who were loving on our Rice Ramen Noodle Soup Cups!  They said “they’re absolutely delicious on their own, but super easy to customize as well. I know I’m super excited to enjoy these on my road trip.”

Lotus Foods Rice Ramen Noodle Soup Cups only require hot water and 3 minutes of your precious time. AND they’re certified non-GMO, with no artificial flavors or colors. Of course, you can make them your own as they did with sauteed veggies, herbs, and your favorite proteins.

Each noodle soup cup comes with organic whole grain brown rice noodles and pre-packaged spices. The Garlicky Veggie, Hot & Sour, and Spicy Kimchi flavors come with freeze-dried “good as fresh” chunky veggies too! These are not your average soup cups. So if you don’t even have time to add anything, your bases are already covered.

Work Week Lunch customized theirs with cauliflower, zucchini, carrot, eggplant, scallion, onion, basil, kale, tofu, boiled eggs, and chicken sausage. These really make variety a breeze! What would you add to yours?
