Fast shipping, well-boxed. Adequate expiration dates. Reasonable price point compared to local grocery stores (who never have it in stock anyway). The product itself is great, a 'healthy' and more stomach/digestion-friendly version of usually high-dairy/gluten mac & cheese. I usually sub unflavored unsweetened almond milk and add a can of peas or diced carrots with a handful of cashews for extra texture and to make it a "full meal" on its own. I call this 'recipe' "Banza-za" on my meal plan :)Came with a coupon for a free Banza frozen pizza! (which I forgot to use in time). But appreciated the thoughtfulness of including that. Seller/brand definitely earned some brownie points from this customer.

I enjoyed these noodles compared to other keto brands. The other brands with lupin flour is unedible!

I avoid pasta when I can but Banza is pretty obviously beneficial

The main reason I can't give more stars to this is the price. It's like 8x the cost of brand-name macaroni and cheese, and probably 10x the cost of generic. HOWEVER, if you're trying to avoid things like flour, this is a very tasty alternative. I don't think my tastes have changed so much that I like things that I wouldn't have liked six months ago (I still eat junk food now & again). My housemate also thought this was quite good. It cooks really fast (3 minutes). I made the sauce by microwaving heavy cream and butter, then whisking in the sauce packet. Then when the macaroni was cooked and drained, I poured the sauce on it. This has always been my way of making box mac & cheese - it makes it creamier than trying to mix the powder in the butter & cream while the pasta is trying to gum things up. Of course I would like it even better if it didn't have some of the tastebud drugs in it (you know, those chemicals that make you think something powdered tastes like real food) but for an occasional treat, it's not too bad.

I love this pasta. Its made with v chickpeas not white flour, and yes its, delicious. I add vegetables and protein to it, and make a complete meal of my Mac & Cheese. We eat it at least four times a week.

I've been a fan of Banza's regular pasta, ever since trying it out. I've been wanting to give their Mac & Cheese a try, to see how it compares with the real deal. I'm going to be 100% honest... this is just as great. For someone needing to cut back on calories, and carbs, this would be perfect. One serving is 260 Calories and 28 Net Carbs, so yeah... compare that to Velveeta. It's 360 Calories and 47 Carbs. I admit, it's a little expensive, but it's hard to find local. That's why I'll fix it every now and then, or at least until the price comes down a bit (or I can find it somewhere nearby). I really like the taste, and the texture is great as well. If you're someone who loves comfort food, but scared away by the macros... give this a try. No guilt, just good taste! Thank you Banza, for creating this.

Still over $3 a box for mac and cheese is kinda nuts.
