In this episode of The Krystal Khali Podcast, I researched one of the most common quick meals and a comfort food of mine—Top Ramen. I know we all reach for that cheap, easy-to-make noodle packet when we’re pressed for time or money, but have you ever stopped to think about what it’s doing to your body?
I break down the nutritional facts, the impact of all that sodium, and even dig into the ingredients in those mysterious seasoning packets. But don’t worry, I’m not here to burst your ramen bubble—I also share healthier alternatives and simple ways to upgrade your ramen game. Whether you're a college student or just craving nostalgia, this episode will help you rethink your comfort food choices. Let's get into it!
