Banza reviews and discussion

Not great tasting and crumbles easily

It's a new brand to me, but I'm open to try it. I maintain healthy diet and lifecycle so that anything healthy, organic attracts me. Also I'm interested in the texture and flavor. I will recommend to my friends.

Love their "healthier" version of Easy Mac. They were the first to make such innovative products, so I'll always view them as leaders. However, I don't love the recent articles that have come out about lead being in their products.

I loved trying the Banda penne pasta. This is a much healthier alternative for those that can’t eat pasta.

My absolute favorite pasta brand. Tastes very similar to regular gluten pasta. Tastes great hot or cold. My favorite way to make it is as a baked ziti. The pasta holds up very well and doesn’t get mushy like some other gluten free pastas.

These noodles are amazing! You can’t even tell they’re made from beans!! I’ve tried their pizza and pasta. I was totally amazed and will continue to buy this products in the future.

Banza is a terrific product for those avoiding gluten. I have tried most of the varieties and find them to have similar tastes. They hold the sauce well and have good texture. Fair warning though you need to actively cook these otherwise they become slimy.

my absolute favorite protein pasta! i am a big pasta girl and sometimes gluten free/protein options can have an odd texture but not banza - i can’t even tell the difference! i feel satiated, not bloated, and happy i am putting good ingredients into my body!

Amazinggg! I love chickpea pastas and this is the best one compared to every other one in the market, I can’t even count the times I’ve rebought this item. I’ve bought a lot of chickpea pastas but there’s no competition. It’s worth it

Banza Chickpea pasta has loads of muscle-building pasta, and is the very best gluten free pasta I've used. I recommend this to family and friends!

I was vegan for a while a couple years ago and came across this pasta I’m no longer vegan but I love eating healthy this pasta is a great alternative for regular pasta and it tastes amazing

My brain doesn’t know this isn’t flour pasta. I love the alternative brand. I love the fun new shapes and products. I feel a little healthier having banza over regular pasta. It’s delicious and gluten free.

Used to love this and convince myself that it was healthy—but the gums mess with my gut and it tastes a bit like cardboard. Reach for it sometimes, but it won’t be a staple in my pantry yet. Still a great alternative, but there’s better and healthier options out there.

Love the protein pasta, it is a little chewy and the taste is overpowering unless paired with the right sauce.

Love this brand that helps me to get in more protein! An easy pasta option that is nutrient dense and makes hitting my protein goals a breeze!

Hearty, healthy choice when I'm going for a quick pasta dinner. Our house is gluten-free, so this is one of a few GF brands we rotate between. It tastes distinctly different from what you would expect for pasta (earthier, nutty), so I only use it for certain pasta dishes that complement that flavor profile. I also know to expect it to be a little grittier. Really good, but not a 1-to-1 substitute if you're craving a classic pasta experience.

High quality, affordable and wise eating all in one brand. Love the innovative variety offered Once a switch to Banza & you are sold

Overall if you’re looking for a gluten free protein pasta Banza is great. It’s a relatively easy substitution. However it doesn’t taste like regular pasta it’s not perfect but gets the job done if you want to reach your protein goals. However, I hear that they use a lot of pesticides which is why I haven’t purchased any new boxes. If they changed this I’d bump my rating to a 4/5. They have a good array of products, I’m a Mac n cheese fiend so I’d say their boxed Mac is pretty solid. I tried their frozen protein waffles recently and it was pretty dry. I tried their frozen pizza a while ago but I think I might have overcooked it so I’d give that another try.

This pasta is great for gluten-free households. I personally don't like the taste of the pasta alone. My advice would be too put itwith your favorite sauce.

Love that these are gluten free but don’t taste gluten free if you know what I mean. So handy to have around the house for a quick midweek dinner that I can feel good about
