Banza reviews and discussion

Not nearly as tasty as other alt-pastas. Too chewy. Great design though

I really loved the alternative they have provided. If you cook for a max of 7 minutes tha pasta stays ardente (firm with excellent texture). Wait until the water boils and throw the pasta (6 minutes would do fine for those that love a more firm pasta). Goes great with Rao's marinara sauce and some bison ground beef 😋. Fully recommended.

Banza’s pasta has the most similar texture to regular pasta compared to all the other bean pastas. I like that it doesn’t break apart when I’m putting sauce over it, and it doesn’t leave a weird after taste. 10/10 recommend!

Really tasty.

Actually super good! I wish the packets had more of a cheesy flavor and I usually add a bit of milk or butter to make it taste richer. The white shells and cheddar are my favorite and one box is perfect for two people because the amount of protein fills you up so well.

Banza is good if you HAVE to eat it, but I wouldn't opt for it by choice. It's a bit grainier than other GF products. Good with lots of other textures. The taste is just dandy and pairs great with vegetables.

Great option for gluten free / celiac folks!

Overall a really great product for gluten substitutes.

This is a great alternative to regular pasta. The protein in this is significant so if you are on a diet and restricting carbs this is what you want. I will say it is a little rubbery and you can taste a difference , but that is really just a slight loss to being able to consume less carbs.

Great packaging, easy to use, and great taste. I do wish more options were available at costco and the price is a bit steep.

favoirte pasta! Only one i keep in the house, we had tonight!

Although I try many different alternative foods which have increased amounts of protein, I did not enjoy Banza's protein pasta. Compared to Barilla's product, I find Banza's taste strange and it overpriced. The taste is off-putting (not compared to a normal pasta, but another protein pasta) and it rarely goes on sale in my local grocers.

Love the concept and macros, but has a weird taste! If you’re looking for protein pasta, Barilla has a better tasting one (their lentils one)

Love this alternative to pasta!! It has a unique taste, not exactly normal pasta but slightly different. It doesnt taste like whole wheat either. It is its own unique flavor. So great though!

I have been buying Banza for a few years now, I appreciate that it is more healthy alternative to traditional pasta products though I wish they had more plant-based options when it comes to non-pasta products, including pizzas, waffles, and mac n' cheese.

High protein and delicious. Taste is different but you shouldn’t be surprised by it…it’s chickpea pasta, ya know?

Have yet to try other products but their frozen chickpea pizza is excellent. Can’t even tell it’s not “normal” pizza. Definitely a healthier taste and very pricy but taste wise - awesome choice

It was my halloween plan to dress up as this brand- that's how much I love them. They've done such a great job at not only taste but the marketing of their product. Love how genderless they are... and also how it feels like it's for all ages? I recently tried noodles and although it was also great (not GF tho), I couldn't help but notice how infantile their packaging felt. Overall, love this brand!!

So good!! Honestly with salted water and sauce you cannot tell the difference between this and real pasta. Leaves you feeling light and healthy - not bloated or bogged down at all.

Love Banza, it got me through my gestational diabetes. And I still love it. Just recommend cooking much less that the listed time.
