GOODLES reviews and discussion

really delicious. the only reason I docked it a point was that it is a bit pricey. I would personally pay the higher price for it, but its definitely not worth it for everyone. the flavors were very cheesy and not overly salty (a common issue I have with "healthier" mac n cheeses). I do love that its not a "health" product and its a good in-between regular boxed mac and a health food mac.

Delivered on everything the box says, it just wasn’t so much better than other boxed mac & cheeses that I’d go out of my way to buy again. I think it’s a great alternative for people who are especially concerned about protein intake. The cacio e peppe flavor really did taste like pepper. The box is striking in a good way; it’s what made me buy it in the first place!

Best box mac n cheese you can find (approved by both adults and kids in our household). Love all the flavors. Even better that it's packed with extra benefits - high protein, fiber and lower calories.

Absolutely tasty, definitely wowed me more than I thought it would.

Love the packaging, brand ethos, and taste.

Packaging and branding is adorable! These taste delicious! It’s like a healthy version of Kraft. If you didn’t tell me they were healthy I never would have known. Every flavor is delicious!

We love a product that can make you feel good after eating an otherwise indulgent meal. I tried the variety pack and have been quite satisfied with the 2/4 flavors I've tried thus far -- the Mover&Shaker and the Twist My Parm. The texture is perfect, which is important when it comes to making a classic food item from nontraditional ingredients. The flavors are strong -- would absolutely pick these over Kraft any day. And although great branding shouldn't influence a review of something you eat rather than wear, the Goodles aesthetic is too good not to point out.

Who doesn’t love mac and cheese? I was thrilled to try Goodles, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The flavor, taste, and texture are absolutely spot-on—creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-comforting. On top of that, the hilarious names and eye-catching box designs make the experience even more fun. What really won me over, though, is the protein content and clean ingredients. It’s comforting to know I’m enjoying a classic favorite that’s also better for me. Goodles has definitely earned a permanent spot in my pantry—highly recommend!

Had the cheddar cheese pasta, it was amazing!

I recently bought Goodles at Wegmans, and I've been loving it. I am not one to really cook pasta at home, as easy as it is, because I never like the taste - it never ladders up to Italian restaurants. I love Goodles flavor though, and I do feel good eating it knowing the amazing protein and fiber content. It tastes much better than Bonza as well. Perfect for lazy nights when you need dinner.

I bought these for my kids are i ended up being obsessed with them. It's like kraft but 10x better!! The flavors are so cool and the noodles are delish! Also makes me not feel bad about feeding my kid boxed mac and cheese - especially since i'm a food blogger!

Could not love this brand more. So happy to find a nutrient rich mac n cheese for my kids. They love it and so do I!

The ingredients are pretty good for boxed macaroni and most of the flavors I’ve tried are pretty good! White cheddar is my favorite so far, and regular cheddar is my least. The best part is you can’t tell that the noodles have veggies in them!

I'm a pretty serious mac and cheese aficionado, and must say that this mac ranks among the top, even against the less-healthy brands. The main Cheddy Mac flavor, competitive with classic Kraft, has a good, strong taste - even more flavorful than Kraft. The noodles stay quite al dente (often a weakness with Kraft). I will say that the sauce texture is a little strange, it can get a bit coagulated as it cools, but it's not a meaningful issue. The sauce is also BRIGHT orange, even more synthetic-looking than Kraft these days (Kraft has toned down the color in recent years, I think) - but again, doesn't bother me. I often buy this instead of Kraft now, not because it's healthier, but just because I genuinely like it more.

For vegan mac and cheese, look no further. Texture and taste were 10/10.

In terms of these vs regular mac n' cheese: for my money, I couldn't tell enough of a difference to need the less healthy OG stuff vs these "nutrient-packed, high protein and high fiber" variety. And I'm a sucker for a cacio e pepe, so they had me there. Definitely worth a try, especially now that you can find them on store shelves and don't have to order the larger quantities online just to try it.

These noodles are GAME CHANGING! They help remove the guilt of indulgence when adding pasta to your meal, and the flavor is incredible.

Delicious all around!! Several flavors. I love that they have a good amount of protein. I myself will enjoy the entire box to myself and I don’t even feel guilty about it!! Enjoy!!

I am obsessed with these. I regularly go out of my way to Target to stock up on them. My favorites are the Shells + Twists!

I was fully expecting to be disappointed by this brand and tried not to get too excited when I picked it up at Target. I'd seen it advertised all over Instagram but it doesn't seem to be available in Canada where I live so when I was in the States ands it for sale I had to give it a go. I'm a Kraft super-fan but I know it's poison so the best I could hope for was something that didn't test like mushy cardboard given it's nutritional benefits. Instead it had great texture AND taste!! I would happily switch it for my beloved Kraft 9 times out of 10.
