GOODLES earns strong reviews for tasting like nostalgic boxed mac and cheese while adding meaningful protein, fiber, and veggie-derived nutrients; many praise flavors like Shella Good, Cheddy Mac, Twist My Parm, and Mover & Shaker and note easy prep and appealing packaging. Reviews also flag downsides: inconsistent flavor punch, occasional salty or bland notes, stomach discomfort from fiber, small portions, and sauce texture issues (thin or coagulating), with some saying it’s not markedly better than Kraft or Annie’s.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
bacon flavor was super good.
SO delicious. Found a box in my pantry and didn't even realize the high protein / high fiber until afterwords. Tasted just like Annies Mac and Cheese but almost better! And didn't upset my sensitive tummy!
It's neither good nor bad.

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 love the taste, texture, ingredients, and flavour! The vegan macaroni and cheese is my favourite, and I always pick up their protein pasta when it is on sale!
Goodles is super yummy and I love the idea of it, but some of the flavors were kind of disappointing, and the price point is really high for what ultimately tastes like regular boxed mac and cheese. That being said, I still buy it over regular mac and cheese because I like that it has more protein/fiber/etc in it. When I'm super stressed I lose my appetite and find it difficult to eat anything but a few specific foods, mac and cheese being one of them. I love that Goodles allows me the option to eat a more balanced meal while sticking to a safe food, and I can see how it can be extremely helpful for others with food aversions/etc. The price point does make it pretty unaccessible, though.
These have replaced Kraft for me. I love the idea of having a Mac and cheese replacement that also has protein so I can still indulge and also feel full. Every flavor is amazing. And I don’t miss Kraft at all while eating this!!
I love that they are hidden veggies in here. Goodness knows the teens need that. These are really good though, and fun shapes too!
Makes eating boxed mac and cheese feel fancy. I love the different flavors they have, and all have been yummy!
Literally so good. Better than any other mac and cheese. I would never guess it was high protein.
Best tasting protein mac and cheese. I love most of the flavors and it's easy to prepare.

Goodles STANS in this house!!! The flavors are enjoyed by both kids and adults, but with better quality ingredients than some of the other box brands!
I love goodles!!!! Shella Good is my favorite shape/flavor, and then Down The Hatch. Mover And Shaker & Twist My Parm were pretty good but not as good as the first two, IMO. I keep repurchasing these and also got the pasta to try out soon. Only drawback is that they are not AS healthy as they sound.
Honestly vegan is the best flavor IMO. The rest i don’t care for really. Also wish it was GF !
I AM OBSESSED! I love a box mac & cheese after a crazy day. Something about it is so comforting. Add freakin protein to it and now we are talking!! The packaging is so fun too -- and there are dairy free options! WOOHOO!
Goodles are incredible. You can catch me bragging to a friend about the fact that I ate boxed mac n cheese for a week straight and hit my protein goals with ease. All of the flavors are great. Price point feels appropriate for their quality and I will be sure to try them all!
I absolutely loved the Parmesan twists! When you open the box, don’t be afraid at the portion size, although, I could (and did) eat the entire box myself! I haven’t tried other flavors, but I am intrigued! I love the ingredients in these, and felt great after.
