Banza reviews and discussion

my favorite pasta. And I’m a pasta lover. I love that. It has more protein than the standard pasta. And offers an alternative for those who are gluten-free stays pretty affordable as well which is great. I’ve tried other chickpea, lentils, black beans pastas and I have been quite disappointed is by far the best texture and flavor for an alternative pasta .

Great gluten free alternate for pasta, my kids don't even know! Also affordable as well compared to other gluten free products.

Really good, but the texture is slightly different than normal pasta! I love the concept for people who want more protein, but my family noticed the difference!

Initially purchased for my auntie's low carb diet, but its pretty delicious for regular eaters, too. Higher fiber and protein, decent texture, barely counts as health food!

It’s a great gf pasta alternative but still making my stomach hurt. I find other bean pasta alternatives better

I have to admit, I was really skeptical when I first heard about Banza Chickpea Pasta. I’ve tried a lot of gluten-free pastas, and most of them just don’t live up to the real thing. So, I wasn’t expecting much when I cooked up my first batch of Banza, but wow, was I wrong! This pasta is absolutely delicious—so much so that it’s now a regular in our household. The texture is spot on—firm and satisfying, just like traditional pasta, and it doesn’t get mushy or fall apart like other gluten-free options often do. The taste is amazing, with a subtle nuttiness that complements any sauce or dish you pair it with. I was blown away by how good it is, and the fact that it’s packed with protein and fiber makes it even better. What really sealed the deal for me was when my picky grandson tried it. He’s usually not a fan of anything that strays from his usual favorites, but he absolutely loves Banza! It’s the best gluten-free pasta on the market, hands down. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative that doesn’t sacrifice taste or texture, I can’t recommend Banza Chickpea Pasta enough. It’s a total game-changer!

I low how these taste, as long as you cook them for the suggested time! the texture is a little bit different from pasta but still tasty

I like the high protein and fiber in this pasta. The texture is a bit chewy.

it’s ok but if you can and do eat gluten it’s not as good in my opinion taste wise. Good alternate if you are very health conscious or gluten free.

Overall good product, but cooking time is key. Can turn to mush quickly if not prepared correctly. Good taste and a lot of protein for meals.

I tried the plant based Mac n cheese and it tastes good! I added my own twist to it by adding some spices and different things to help add a better taste, but if you are looking for a plant based replacement this is great!

Not bad it was my first time trying banza. I'm not a big fan of chickpeas but the taste was very doable. I made this is Alfredo sauce and I love how the taste was very subtle.

I love Banza! They have so much protein and a great texture for chickpea-based pasta. They never break apart and pair well with all pasta sauces/flavors!

I wasn't sure if I even like chickpeas and I know my husband doesn't like many veggies or changes from his regular brands. BUT we both were surprised to acutally like the pasta. Enough so that if I had a coupon I buy it again.

I absolutely love banza. My favorite is the chickpea rotini. I love that it has such high protein content making it easier to reach my fitness goals 🥰

Great flavor and consistency! I would only use for day of use, it does not refrigerate well for leftovers. But for a first meal, this is a perfect swap!

I have Hashimotos and I love pasta, so I'm constantly looking for gluten-free pasta alternatives that actually tastes good. I've tried a few of banza's pasta shapes. Their spaghetti breaks really easily from my experience, but the penne and shell shapes are much better at keeping their shape/form. Taste wise ... it's a hard no from me. You can taste the chickpea. It's not a subtle flavor. The only way I could eat it was with pesto sauce because it helped to disguise the flavor. Otherwise, I could not stand the taste. Also, this pasta gave my boyfriend stomach aches/gas pain and he doesn't even have IBS or any food sensitivities! I know a lot of people love Banza. I don't know why. Jovial is a much better gluten free alternative. I would only recommend this to people who tolerate chickpeas well and want a gluten free pasta with a decent amount of protein. Otherwise, there are MUCH tastier options out there!

As an allergy queen, this banda pasta has been such a life saver! Having so much protein is a definite bonus. Texture is different to regular pasta but it is so yummy and the taste is great.

Super easy and yummy way to eat your pasta AND have protien too! We love Banza in our household and its a game changer for my picky kids!

Love this product! Having moved to more of a plant based diet i was looking for some high protein alternatives and this is perfect! Plus I never used to like Mac and cheese but love the one from Banza!
