No flavor
Texture is alright but lacks any flavor. My toddler ate it but I was not impressed.

Too mild of flavor
Even mixed with cracked pepper and cajun chicken the cheese flavor being almost indiscernable ruined this for me but to be fair not a big fan of most mac and cheese. Good for little kids maybe but if you need to taste the cheese you might want to use plain banza with your own sauce.

So gross!
I have been on a low carb(bad carbs) and low calorie diet. Decided to try this product since it’s high in protein. Can I just say, immediately as it was cooking it smelled weird, then when it was done my first bite, I was ready to puke.. this stuff tasted so gross. Definitely won’t recommend to anyone.

STOMACH IRRITANT
THEY HAVE SWAPPED OUT THEIR FOOD COLORING WITH A STOMACH IRRITANT! This product used to be made with annatto extract made from the seeds of the achiote tree, which is a safe and harmless food additive used for coloring. Some &(*%&&%&^%^% penny-pincher at the company decided to switch that out with paprika extract. Paprika is made from dried Capsicum peppers and is a well-known stomach irritant. This is a product that is intended for people who already have digestive issues. Suddenly adding in a known irritant substance with no warning is beyond beyond stupid. It is negligent in the extreme. If you wake up in the wee hours of the morning with your stomach in agony after eating this product, now you know why. This company is cruelly hurting people in the name of profit.

Does the trick
If you are really craving mac & cheese, this may not fully hit the spot. With that said, I have eaten other Banza pastas, as well as many, many alternative pastas made of all sorts of things, and this pasta holds up comparably to “real” pasta, and the flavor is similar to other boxed white mac & cheeses. I ate it because I wanted an easy dinner that felt indulgent but didn’t feel entirely unhealthy, and it totally did the trick.

I love Banza but this was sad
I love banzai pasta and cook with it all the time! But this banza mac and cheese was very sad :/ It just tasted like powder… I even added more milk and more cheese after the initial taste test but I couldn’t get past the powdered taste. I think the “cheese” packet ruined the whole thing for me. Sad day.

Quick easy tasty
Yum. I undercook the pasta by a minute or two. Lots of cheese sauce- enough to cover an extra serving or two of plain noodles added in

Gross pre-mixed cheese sauce packet
Easy Cheese. Velveeta. That’s basically what the packet contains. Not powder. Disgusting.

My favorite guilt free pasta
I’m a college student in graduate school looking for healthy/easy meals to prepare for myself and I try to avoid gluten at all costs. Tried this and LOVE this Mac and cheese…It’s a staple meal for me now! If you rinse it really well you can barely taste the chickpea! The classic elbow is my favorite… I follow the exact instructions and it turns out perfect every single time! I really like the texture, it’s more dense as opposed to any other boxed Mac and cheese. It’s VERY filling one serving (1/2 the box) keeps me satisfied for hours. If you have issues with gas/bloating like myself I’d recommend taking an anti acid beforehand. It is a little pricey but so worth it!!

Delicious!!
I really enjoyed this after trying it for the first time today. I’ve made my own stovetop mac and cheese with Banza; having a premade package cuts out a lot of steps. This also goes well with an almond milk substitution. I couldn’t tell you the difference, otherwise!

Not bad for protein and gluten free
Pretty good for something that’s high in protein. Definitely not the blue box but a great alternative for those watching their weight and/or gluten intolerant.

Best cheddar flavor
This is my favorite of the Mac & Cheese flavors. It’s my go to when I need a quick lunch for myself or the kids. And I know it’s healthy. Can’t wait to try some of the recipes on the Banza website.
