Banza reviews and discussion

The Banza mac and cheese is SO good! I made it for dinner and didn't even tell my friends it was allergy friendly- nobody noticed!

Finally a quality and healthy gluten free pasta option!

Truly an awesome alternative for those that need a gluten free pasta option. Although beware of overcooking, just like with any pasta! Once overcooked it becomes an almost refried bean consistency (because of the chickpeas). Overall I highly recommend!

My family is vegan and we are always trying to sneak a little extra protein into my two kids. We love that Banza doesn’t get gluggy like some alternative pastas do. The cook time is a little different and it doesn’t taste just like regular wheat pasta but we like it well enough, just make sure to follow the cook time which also differs slightly.

I used this to make protein pasta and it was perfect. It is so light on my stomach. Perfect for meal planning.

Made the spaghetti noodles with garlic sauce and mussels. It was delicious. Only difference was the texture was slightly denser feeling. Other than that I couldn’t tell the difference and neither could my two boys which makes this a keeper!

Tried this product a while ago as a smarter/healthier option for pasta. It tasted good, expect it didn’t hold its shape as well as typical pasta.

good pasta once you figure out just how long to cook the noodles! They tend to get extra mushy when overcooked but we love and it's a staple in our household now~

I love Banza! It tastes just like regular pasta and it’s so much better for you! It’s a delicious alternative. I really prefer them now to Kraft.

Taste like normal pasta and you get extra protein so good especially for little ones

We do not like this stuff. We have bought for a little over a year. Everytime, we waste money. It turns to mush. Then when it is cooked great, it doesn't taste good. We stopped buying.

I love Banza pasta! I have a difficult time including protein in my active and busy lifestyle. Banza pasta sneaks in extra protein and I can't even tell if there's a taste difference between Banza an traditional pasta. so yummy!

I love Banza pasta for their protein and fiber content. They’re a great gluten-free option and the price point is reasonable in comparison to other boxed pasta products. The texture does become somewhat “gluey” fairly quickly after serving. This makes it work well with thicker, creamier sauces - think vodka sauce and alfredo. I wouldn’t use this product with a lighter sauce. Pro-tip: boil in chicken broth for added protein.

I enjoy the packaging of this brand and love that they exist as someone with a gluten intolerance they have a strong variety in gluten free pastas!

I like these for a pasta alternative, but the texture can be a little "ehh" but I really like the new waffles they came out with!

Pretty close to pasta texture and doesn’t fall apart like other brands

I really like the pasta! It is easy to cook and very tasty.

There was so much hype about them, that I think I went in with high expectations. Tried the penne noodles about x 6 times now but likely won't repurchase. Average taste for what I expect for a GF product. Always find them to be at their best when you first prepare them...but not very good as leftovers.

Huge fan of Banza. I think they’ve updated their recipe because my biggest complaint used to be the texture (too firm) but now the pasta cooks well and you get a realistic pasta-like texture. I’ve only tried the penne shape so can’t comment on other shapes but the noodles are fragile and do break easier than normal pasta, and for that I have 4 instead of 5 stars. You have to add sauce to this, it doesn’t taste great on its own like normal pasta does, but it does taste way better if you salt the water while cooking. The price point is great, around $4-5/box for 2-3 servings.

Banza is such a great alternative to typical pasta. It has all the enjoyment and deliciousness of pasta with some added piece of mind that it is packed with protein and a bit healthier. Excited to try the full range!
