Instant noodles are convenient and delicious, but they’re also notorious for being packed full of sodium. Traditional instant ramen often contains over 1,000 mg of sodium per pack. That’s nearly half your recommended daily intake in a single serving!
But pho real… instant noodles don’t have to be that way.
At Pho’nomenal Foods, we’ve reimagined the noodle game with lower sodium instant pho that still delivers on flavor. Our bowls max out at 720 mg of sodium, with plenty of tasty options under 500 mg. That means you can enjoy a steaming, instant noodle bowl without the bloat or guilt.
Where Our Flavor Really Comes From
You may be wondering…but how do you keep the sodium lower and the flavor higher? That’s simple. We lean on real ingredients instead of additives and preservatives. When you peek at the back of our packaging, you’ll see we use real meat, real vegetables, and real spices to deliver that signature pho taste.
By building flavor from real ingredients, not just salt, you get a bowl that tastes like homemade comfort food. It’s why people say our bowls are pho-nomenal… and we agree.
Why Sodium Matters
Sodium isn’t all bad. In fact, for some, sodium supplementation is recommended to regulate fluids and supports healthy muscle and nerve function. But too much of it can cause health concerns like high blood pressure, water retention, and increased risk of kidney issues.
The FDA recommends limiting sodium intake to under 2,300 mg per day. As a guide, always scan nutrition labels for the % Daily Value (%DV).
You’ll likely see that many instant noodles hit a high percent of your daily sodium needs in one serving. Our Spicy Pho Kup at 400 mg? That’s around 17% DV, a much lighter choice.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of our options:
Spicy Pho Kup: 400 mg – a bold kick with less salt
Veggie Pho Bowl: 480 mg – plant-powered and balanced
Chicken Pho Bowl: 720 mg – hearty and satisfying
Beef Pho Bowl: 720 mg – rich, savory comfort
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been searching for a lower sodium ramen alternative that doesn’t compromise on flavor, you’ve found it. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch, a healthy weeknight dinner, or an easy dorm snack, our bowls are the perfect blend of comfort food and mindful eating.
Because instant noodles should be all joy, no regrets.
