12 Low-Carb Substitutes That Don’t Suck

7. Mexican Black Bean Spaghetti

Spaghetti made out of… black beans?! With 25 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber per serving, this alternative will keep you feeling full and satisfied much longer than whole-wheat spaghetti noodles. Give it a whirl in this Mexican-inspired dish.

8. Shrimp with Bok Choy, Sriracha, and Shirataki Noodles

Sriracha, garlic, and veggies are an epic trio, and this alternative is just as delightful. This version lightens the load by using Japanese shirataki noodles (made out of yams and already cooked!), which have zero carbs, to create a restaurant-worthy—but still healthy—dish.
