  • So happy that I discovered these! I love the taste, they are super easy to prepare and the best part is the high protein content. I've tried a few of their flavors and so far I like all of them!

  • If you served me these in a pinch I wouldn't think twice that they were loaded with protein, fiber, and plant nutrients. The pasta texture can lean a big mushy if you overcook them, but the flavor was good, and they are infinitely customizable.

  • down the hatch and smokey dokey changed my life. I dream about these! I did try the vegan and gluten free option and did not love it.

  • This was SO delicious and filling! Didn't taste like the artificial "cheese" that boxes like these usually taste like. This was so creamy and delicious! Tried Down The Hatch too and the flavor was amazing.

  • Love the elevated boxed mac n cheese option! Price is a little high but I think it is worth it for the added protein and fun flavors!

  • Some of the flavors are definitely not my cup of macaroni so-to-speak lol but I am *loving* the gluten free and vegan box of Goodles! As someone having tummy issues related to wheat right now, it's been a godsend. Definitely try that if you're celiac or low-FODMAP!

  • This is the best mac and cheese I've ever had!! It's so creamy and it also has so much protein for mac and cheese. I wish the ingredients were a little bit cleaner, but I will still buy it. The flavors are also so creative and unique, so different from any other mac and cheese brand I've tried. The price isn't bad at all either.

  • I've had three of these so far, the Cheddar, Smoked Gouda, and the Hatch Chile varieties. They are great for protein, especially when you want a fun, more traditional side for a meal that has a bit more nutritional content. With that said, I thought the Smoked Gouda had a bit too much liquid smoke added to the mixture and smelled and tasted heavily of it. I used a bit of oil when I made this one, my second of the products I tried, as when I made the Hatch Chile with no oil or butter, as I didn't have any butter, it remained very dry. The Hatch was surprisingly spicy, and I typically love this chile because it does not give me heartburn. So far the Cheddar has been the one I would most likely pair more regularly with dinner, and adding a fat definitely helps the pasta not dry out.

  • Love buying this brand for Mac & cheese! There’s a great variety of flavors. The added nutrients, protein, & fiber make this such a good alternative for me!

  • Goodles mac & cheese is a total flop. The flavor is bland as it's just a powder packet and not the creamy goodness I expected from the ads. It's a hard pass for me, especially since I can make it from scratch in 5 minutes.

  • I finally picked up a box of Goodloes when I noticed their new flavor, the Gluten Free Cheddy Mac. It was not bad, and with a nice little protein bonus! A bit salty if anything, but a passable GF/DF alternative for blue box in a pinch.

  • Great higher protein alternative to regular pasta. I tried the plain pasta but I’m looking forward to trying the mac & cheese flavors.

  • For when you need that childhood comfort but you want to be an adult about it, look no further. Goodles are a fantastic addition to any meal. The protein is a nice, sneaky lil bonus. My husband and I like to add peas or steamed broccoli for a little green.

  • It was served just like other pasta and I didn’t know the difference. I would say its better than tradicional Mac n cheese mainly because of the fiber and proteín content.

  • I received a box of these for free to sample. I was genuinely surprised by the flavor and texture. It was delicious! Very cheesy!

    Loyal fan
  • Kids loved it, I loved that it had good stuff in it. A little on the spendier side considering how the box is not very big.

  • Calling all boxed Mac & Cheese lovers! This product is the perfect balance when you are looking for an easy comfort meal but don’t want to sacrifice your protein intake goals. All of the flavors are delicious - my favorite is the cheddy Mac.

  • Goodles is a great alternative to traditional "from a box" mac and cheese. I tried the "Twist My Parm" flavor and it was so good. It cooked up quickly and easily and had a nice, delicate flavor profile. I would definitely buy this again but I'm looking forward to trying one of their new, unique flavors, especially the elote version. I also have the "Vegan is Belivin" flavor in my cabinet and I'm looking forward to giving that one a try soon. The price, per box, was very reasonable, as well. I found Goodles in my local Target of all places but it should also be available in traditional grocery stores.

  • I love that this brand creates macaroni that has a lot of protein in it while expanding with a variety of flavors. The price of this is a little higher, but it's worth it for the protein content alone. Each flavor I've tried has also been an absolute knockout winner. The pasta noodles from the brand are also great as well with the high protein content, but the price for them is a little high.

  • Big big fan of the Twist my Parm flavor. the others in the variety pack are good too, but Twist my Parm is the standout star. Not a huge fan of the cacio e pepe flavor personally, but that's not my vibe in general. The branding is really fun
