Banza reviews and discussion

Really yummy and high in protein/fiber. Definitely not a replacement for pasta whatsoever but a veryyy good healthy meal option!

I enjoy eating this pasta. It is high in protein and not mushy. My 3 year old daughter can not tell the difference from regular pasta.I also enjoy that it is on sale often so its a good value for filling you up .

I'm from NYC so I was born a pizza snob. Tried the 4 cheese and marinara and honestly wasn't too bad! Kinda reminded me of school lunch pizza but in the best way possible... I typically stay away from frozen pizzas (Again, I'm from NYC. I can get a dollar slice) But this is a good healthy alternative. I can imagine keeping it in the freezer for a quick snack.

It honeslty taste just like regular pasta, there is no difference (unless you’re talking about fresh authentic pasta because that is in its own category). Do I feel better about eating Banas over regular pasta, absolutely. I do though have a friend who is a nutritionist and the macros apparently anything to fantastic, but for someone who doesn’t care about macros, it’s a nice option to swap and get more protein. 10/10 recommend the pasta. The pizza on the other hand, not the greatest. I thinks maybe it’s the texture and it’s a little tough, or maybe it’s that I lived in Connecticut for a bit and was a 10 min drive to New Haven which is the pizza capital of America and my standards are high? I don’t know. But do love the idea and the brand.

As a bit of a pasta monster, I obviously had to give Banza a try. They are definitely the best alt-pasta I've tried, by a long shot! For some reason, reheating the pasta as next-day leftovers was not great. Their pizza crust has become my go-to. It's filling and flavorful. Don't go into expecting to not know you're not eating regular dough or crust and you'll be pleasantly surprised! It is a little pricey but the cute packaging is hard to resist sometimes.

protein packed, healthy, and tastes great - perfect

While I still eat regular wheat pasta, I make and serve Banza pasta regularly too. It is slightly different but a good way to add more protein to your diet. I haven't tried the pizza but plan to soon.

I love their take on chickpea but most products are highly processed and I love the taste of whole chickpea more. I'd rather enjoy and indulge in regular carbs that tastes more wholesome than highly process food even if they try to make it look more healthy.

always have banza pasta stocked up in my pantry. I love the chickpea pasta so much! Its so much healthier and better for you, so worth it!

I've only tried the pasta, and I would not do so again

Their pasta cooks very quickly and gets mushy easily.

I think Banza's concept is amazing, but it falls a little short in the taste area. As the brand has been around for multiple years now, I would expect more improvements in their recipes, but I've personally not noticed much change from their initial releases to now. I like the plain pasta the best, but the mac and cheese is alright in a pinch.

Pasta is pretty good for a substitute of the real thing . Their low calories, and huge bump in protein and fiber are unmatched.

I really like this pasta! As someone who is always struggling to get more protein in my diet, this is a really good alternative to regular pasta. I think it tastes the same and is always the right amount of chewy. It can be pricey but often goes on sale or has coupons.

I've only had the pasta shells and they're pretty good! They're a great way to get your protein in for the day and don't taste like cardboard like some of the other brands. It's definitely not "real" pasta, but its a good compromise!

I've only ever tried Banza's pasta--the texture's not bad. If anything, it's impressive that chickpeas can taste that much like pasta. However, if you're expecting the mouthfeel of freshly made pasta, this won't be your jam. Ultimately, this boils down to whether you value the increased protein and fiber enough for the texture tradeoff. Because I do, I'm a fan of Banza.

I eat a lot of Banza, I'm really happy to see that the noodles have snuck into Costco. And their pizza crust *hearteyes*. We have Banza pizza crust in our household once a week. So, so yummy.

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 :)

So cool! So easy! So tasty! Love having banza as a feel good alternative. Tastes basically the same as regular pasta. Highly recommend!

I recently went gluten free and this product has been able to help me still eat the foods I like without sacrificing health and taste. I’ve only had the Mac and cheese but I absolutely love it… I have trouble not eating the whole box!! Sometimes I do get a little stomach ache after eating but I think that has more to do with my portion size than the product itself 😂.
