I love Banza! I have tried a variety of their products and am always impressed with the quality. I have yet to try the pizza crust but I am looking forward to it! The pasta is a new-age staple, I always have some in the pantry.
This review reflects my experience with their pasta and mac and cheese, but with that caveat, I'm a big ole' fan! Banza clearly did a lot of research and testing to wind up with a noodle that tastes and chews like traditional flour pasta, but with macros and ingredients that are stunning coming from a pasta.
Easy to cook and it holds shape nicely.
Kind of gummy if you don't watch it and it is very dense
I was always a fan of Banza pasta but just tried their new pizza and I'm obsessed! Tastes so good and the protein from the chickpeas makes me feel so energized!
Love my Banza products, and especially love that they make things for us GF/V folks. The new gluten-free vegan pizza is so yummy and it's so nice having an option that can be ready so quickly. I initially tried and loved the pastas, but I've stuck around for all the other yumminess they've created!
Easy to eat and cook. This is not heavy on the stomach like another pasta is. I have tried their pasta and pizza and it is the best thing ever! I am so happy that I switched my pasta choice to this!
The mac n cheese. 11/10. I am gluten free and have tried many gluten free pasta brands ... this pasta is almost identical to normal pasta consistency. Not grainy and does not fall apart (unless you overcook it). Aside from the texture, the taste is amazing. Better than Kraft and Annie's in my opinion. I also feel healthier when I eat this, so that's a plus :)
Kraft people understand when I say the shapes taste different... so maybe some fun-shaped pasta?
I tried the pant based mac & cheese for the first time recently, and I liked it! It's possible that I overcooked it slightly, but I found the texture of the pasta to be a little gritty. I found the flavor to be good, but not the best in comparison to other boxed vegan macs I've had.
I appreciate that it's made from chickpeas, but this just isn't the same flavor as normal pasta. If normal pasta is a 10/10, then this is a 2/10
So good! My partner is gluten free, but my favorite foods are CHEESE + PASTA. This Mac and cheese is delicious and the branding is so fun!
