GOODLES earns strong reviews as a tastier, higher‑protein, high‑fiber upgrade to classic boxed mac and cheese, with many praising creamy, cheesy flavors (Shella Good, Cheddy Mac, Twist My Parm, Down The Hatch) and al dente noodles. However, reviews flag inconsistent flavor execution (especially Cacio e Pepe and some vegan options), occasional watery or bland sauces, high sodium, small portions, and reports of stomach discomfort; shoppers who prioritize nutrition over pure nostalgia find it a compelling pantry staple, while purists may prefer Annie’s or Kraft.

I'm usually not a big fan of mac and cheese but I saw this at Target and saw that it has 14g of protein per serving and I had to try it! I bought the Hatch Chile flavor and the only reason why I am giving it a 4 out 5 of is because I wish it had more cheese but it was so good and the right amount of spicy. I'm definitely going to be trying more flavors.
Plain and simple, Goodles is delicious. We've tried a bunch of different flavors, and the consensus across 2 adults and 2 kids, is that these are a hit. The in-store combination of the packaging - the food photography is on point, as are the vibrant colors - and 2 for $7 sale were enough to get me to try a couple of boxes and I'm glad I did. The non-sale price is a little higher than I'd normally pay for boxed Mac and cheese, but given how much my kids like it, it's worth a couple dollars more for the good stuff.

Love the packaging, ethos, and most of all the flavor.
I tried the regular flavor, it was alright but it had a weird aftertaste. I wouldn't repurchase.
OBSESSED. Tastes like Kraft Dinner but is high in protein and fibre? I'm sold. It's not a gourmet meal, but it is quick, easy and nutritious in a pinch. Also tastes great with a little broccoli and chopped tomatoes in the mix.
It’s not bad but there’s something off about it. It’s like carboardy.

Make it taste better.

Twist my parm was the best flavor - the cheddar flavor was not as good.
Soo good! tastes exactly like regular store-bought mac n cheese (but better) and I was pleasantly surprised to see how many veggies they packed into each box. Would love a non dairy/ vegan friendly option!
I bought these during Thingdrop #7 at a pretty steep discount and I will say I didn't have high hopes. BUT I AM IN LOVE. So cheesy, orange, delicious. I often find that alternative pastas have really odd consistencies, but Goodles' noodles were on point. The pasta itself tastes "normal" and has a nice consistency. I really like the cheese powder too. It's really orange. I only tried the "Cheddy Mac" because I like a classic mac and cheese, but could see myself buying it again, maybe even trying another flavor.

Hope to see these on the shelves!

Goodles is such a great alternative to overly processed boxed macaroni and cheese. The flavor and smooth texture are amazing and it has so many added nutrients due to the natural ingredients.
actually so good and loved the higher protein compared to other mac and cheese!!
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.
I love their vegan cheddar noodles they are pretty good.
Huge fan of Goodles! Love to have these on hand for when I want a quick meal and not feel bad about the quality of ingredients. I enjoyed these before having kids and now enjoy them even more knowing I can share these with my little one's and know they're getting protein and fiber in their meal. The taste is good, not quite exactly like the blue box brand we're all familiar with but I don't expect it to be a direct comparison given the nutrient benefits. I was elated when I saw we had these at my Costco! Couldn't add to my cart fast enough.
I tried the bacon flavored Goodles. Nice and creamy sauce.
A good staple that’s a healthier alternative to other boxed mac and cheese.

Elevated Mac and cheese! Truffle one is so good! Didn’t love the Parmesan one though
Tried the vegan Mac and it was insanely creamy and yum
This brand has great Mac and cheese, very fun flavors. I just bought their dry noodle and I hope they will be just as great.
