Best of Thingtesting4.2

Banza earns strong reviews for delivering chickpea-based pasta, pizza, and mac & cheese that often taste close to traditional versions while adding substantial protein and fiber. Reviews praise the consistently tasty pasta (rotini, cavatappi, shells), kid-approval, and standout frozen pizzas, but note weaknesses: noodles can overcook into mush, stick, or break; some shapes feel dense or grainy with a bitter/bean aftertaste; spaghetti/long cuts underperform; and texture declines as leftovers. Ideal for gluten-free or higher-protein swaps, provided cooking is precise.

  • I really enjoyed cooking with this pasta and it tastes great. I love the added protein and fiber, too. I can feel the difference after eating because I'm not craving sugar and carbs and I feel satisfied and satiated. It seems like it doesn't spike my blood sugar the way regular pasta does.

  • Banza rotini is a great alternative to traditional pasta! The spiral shape holds sauce really well, making it perfect for pasta salads or a quick weeknight dinner. I love having a pasta option with extra protein and fiber that still feels satisfying. It’s versatile, easy to prepare, and a great pantry staple!

  • Banza Gluten Free Brown Rice Elbow Pasta is a great pantry staple for anyone avoiding gluten! The elbow shape is perfect for mac and cheese, pasta salads, and casseroles. I love having a gluten-free option that works in so many recipes and has a familiar pasta feel. Easy to prepare and versatile!

  • Banza Cheddar Elbows are a delicious twist on classic mac and cheese! The chickpea pasta adds extra protein and fiber, while the cheesy cheddar flavor makes it comforting and satisfying. It’s an easy meal when you’re craving cheesy pasta but want a little more nutrition. Great for a quick lunch or dinner!
