Tasty, filling, satisfying
I was pretty skeptical that vegan, gluten free mac and cheese could be satisfying. But I've been enjoying Banza's other chickpea pastas, so I figured I'd give this a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The mac itself is great, just like other Banza pastas I've had. The cheese sauce was rich and creamy. It had a pretty mellow flavor that wasn't quite the same as cheese, but it was on the way, flavor-wise. (Cheese-ish! Cheese-y!) I warmed everything up in the pot for a minute or two after mixing the strained pasta with the sauce, and the end result was warm, comforting, and satisfying. I felt pleasantly full afterwards; this mac was a meal all on its own. I would definitely buy this again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent option!
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023
I'm not someone who usually seeks out vegan or gluten-free food, but I was intrigued by this offering and wanted to see how it compared to other boxed mac and cheese. I enjoyed the texture of the pasta, and was impressed with the "chew". I did cook the noodles for less time than the box suggested and recommend keeping a close eye while they are boiling to make sure they don't fall apart. The cheese sauce was thin but had a creamy texture, which was impressive. I found that I needed to add some seasoning to make it all sing. This box is a meal on it's own for one person and extremely filling, which was also great! If you're expecting a 1:1 replacement for Kraft/Velveeta, this is not that. If you're looking for a satisfying vegan and gluten-free mac and cheese experience, this is definitely one to try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and Healthy?! It's a Mac & Cheese Miracle!
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023
Not to brag, but we are Mac & Cheese's #1 fans in this house. We wanted to try a healthier alternative so we've been doing our research. This Banza Plant-Based Mac was delicious! It was easy to make, the perfect amount of "cheesiness" and a smoother consistency of chickpea pasta than we've experienced with other brands. It is parent and kid approved! It's a delicious mac n cheese option that will be our new go-to. Love that it's high in protein, as well as gluten free and made with vegan cheddar.
