Banza reviews and discussion

This is a good brand and I feel great about feeding this to my children. The pizza is actually pretty solid and delicious for a family pizza night. The pasta takes some trial and error to cook it to an ideal texture but when done right, is a good pasta alternative for those trying to make a healthier switch. I also like the rice. The pasta and rice don't have an overwhelming chickpea taste but taste good.

Obsessed with the pizza crust and pastas! This is my go-to brand for taste, texture, and nutrition

My husband is very wary of "healthy alternatives" and he now only buys banza pasta for himself. I truly cannot tell the difference between banza and regular pasta. Also, the pizza crusts are great and are much more filling than cauliflower crusts. The pizzas may seem small, but as they have more protein, they are more filling than you would expect. I love using the rice as an alternative to orzo!

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.

I buy these as a healthier, higher protein alternative to regular pasta. There's definitely a taste difference but it's not bad.

Love their mac and cheese, but my partner doesnt like it so we usually just go for Annies. The concept is amazing though!

Their original/core products are top-notch in taste, texture, ingredients and health claims. As a vegetarian, the high protein works wonders for me when I don't want to toss in any other proteins/meats. The high protein content also makes it VERY filling, though some friends and family can't manage the high fiber content (I've had no issues). It's a pantry stable for me now, and an easy weeknight go-to.

My household is a banza household— we use banza instead of regular noodles 90% of the time over the past year. Favorite shapes are the spaghetti and the cavatappi, but they’re all great. So much more filling than pasta and I love the nutritional value.

Banza managed to be the first company to make their stuff with alternative products (chickpeas) and have it taste good while maintaining great texture. From pizza to rice and pasta, all are very well made and pack fantastic macros.

This product is good but they had a scandal on how it contains arsenic and other bad stuff so I never bought again. If they went organic I might consider again. I loved the mac and cheese but it does feel a bit heavy when you eat a whole bowl because it is chickpeas after all.

Saw these in the grocery store and love chickpeas. Love that I can get protein from my pasta too. What a win! It tasted pretty good and not chalky.

Okay, so Banza pasta is definitely my #1 pasta. I always have it stocked in my pantry because it’s literally the only pasta I reach for. It’s so versatile, and it helps me meet my protein and calorie goals, especially when I have it meal prepped for the week. I love that it’s made from chickpeas, so I’m getting extra protein with every bite, which is a total win! Whether I'm making a quick dinner or prepping for the week, Banza pasta is my go-to, and I honestly can’t imagine using anything else. If you’re looking for a healthier, high-protein pasta, you need to try this

Not bad, but I prefer other brands when looking for a high protein, gluten free substitute

Pasta that I feel good about eating. Love the added protein and that it’s made from healthy ingredients. And that it’s lower carb. A good alternative to regular pasta.

Pretty good products - when I've made this for other people they can hardly tell this is made from something other than grains.

Ok so i have tummy issues, and I can’t really eat gluten, these were ok, they were not the best tasting pasta alternatives for gluten, but they were not the worst. They kind of had a slight weird after taste.

I try to mix up my carbs, and the more protein the better. I am not on a gluten-free diet for any reason. However, I have tried tons of gluten alternatives just to check them out. Banza doesn't hold together that well, it's dry, and kind of depressing to eat. I like that it has a little more protein than typical pasta, but not enough more to make me switch over considering my diet is not restricted. If I don't want gluten pasta, I'll stick with rice noodles or I'll make something else entirely.

If you are avoiding gluten or carbs these are a good choice. The textures not exactly like regular noodles, but taste good enough

Loved it !!
