Banza reviews and discussion

Love the ease of getting in extra protein through these products. The pasta is my favorite.

So goooood!!

My husband and kids absolutely love this brand - we like the pasta, and with a sauce it’s not too strongly flavored, the pizza crusts are also a staple for a quick mid-week meal, but honestly my favorite is the banza “rice” - it’s really an orzo-shaped version of their pastas, but what I like about it is that I can use it to make a gluten free rice pilaf that the whole family will eat (a homemade rice-a-roni). It took a few tries to nail down the right proportions, but I use about 1/2 jasmine rice and 1/2 banza rice, toast it dry in the pan in a little butter, then add 3:1 parts chicken broth and whatever seasoning I feel like for that meal to my rice/banza mix and cook it mostly the same as a rice a roni but turn off the burner and let it carry over cook much earlier. Love it!

Great pasta alternative - their mac&cheese is actually one of my favorites (the white cheddar) I really want to try their pizza and other items!

Banza pasta started off as a delightful alternative for me with its high protein content and great taste. However, over time, I noticed a decline in its quality. The texture became less appealing, and the flavor seemed to diminish. While it's still a healthier option, I'm disappointed by the inconsistency. I hope Banza can address these issues and maintain the initial appeal that drew me in.

Love the new innovative products the team is releasing allows for healthy eating with fun new recipes.

I always keep Banza in my pantry! I love the higher protein and fiber compared to wheat pasta, and it’s way easier to cook and eat than other non-wheat pastas. I particularly love the cavatappi. I use it for quick dinners or pasta salads. I wouldn’t use it for a true pasta craving but it’s my go-to for easy meals. Just wish it came in mote pasta shapes!

I have tried a number of the Banza products, but the one that I keep coming back to is the pasta. I love the healthier alternative to standard pasta, and the taste is wonderful.

As someone who is trying to eat clean, maximize protein intake and still have delicious meals, I always have Banza in the house. I’ve struggled with Hashimotos Thyroiditis for years. It has made me sensitive to additives and to gluten. I’m a pasta and bread loving person. I really missed being able to eat my favorite foods, until I tried Banza. They create products that are actually tasty and a great substitute for pasta, pizza, and more, while increasing your protein intake and eating plant based food. Would highly recommend

This review is of the pasta, only. It's not good. I eat lots of substitute foods, and it is not something I would ever buy again. I couldn't stomach it, my kids even less so! I really wanted to like it, too. =(

Banza pastas are good. It’s really nice to get so much protein in a gluten feee option. The pizza crust was a little soggy but overall a nice option.

As a mom of a young child, trying to find new and interesting ways to get my kid to consume protein can be difficult. Banza is delicious and a hit with my whole family.

To be totally honest, everything from the pasta to the pizza I've tried and while I so badly want to enjoy Banza, I simply can't. This sh** is so dry, I am not a fan. Even when I drenched the pasta in sauce, the texture was still off. I will give this 2/5 because it WAS filling. High in protein. Other than that, this brand takes an L from me.

Couldn't be more obsessed with Banza. The pasta is healthy and delicious, and their customer service is top notch.

I enjoyed Banza Pizza. It reminded me of my childhood frozen pizzas but guilt-free. The crust came out perfectly crunchy and it was great to share one as a light snack with a friend but at $7 each in NYC and the fact that I'm not strictly gluten-free makes this frozen pizza a real treat. I'll keep an eye out for a sale but I wouldn't add it to my every day grocery list. If you are a gluten-free person then I recommend you check it out, I think you'd love it.

Less carbs, more protein. That's what I like to hear in a product. As a health nut and someone who regularly goes to the gym, I want to make sure what I'm eating will support my recovery and this does just that. My partner and I don't do well with gluten so this is an absolute win for us!! Very tasty stuff as well!

I have used banza pasta. Not a huge fan of the chickpea flavor in the pasta. Needed extra sauce to hide the taste. The pizza is quite good.

The Banza pasta is a great alternative to standard noodles, though it won't perfectly satisfy that desire for "true" pasta. We love it in rotation for our kiddos as a break from flour.

I typically grab their pasta, I like the added protein benefit & I don't taste a huge difference (my boyfriend who is a pasta snob can, but what does he know). It does leave a slight film on the pasta pot after boiling, which I think comes with the territory of using chickpeas in anything!

Banza is great! I hope they expand their range. I experienced minimal glucose spike
