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
Tried this product and was shocked at how good it was. I’ve tried many healthier Mac and cheese brands in the past but this was by far the best!

Overall the texture was good and flavor was good, I definitely recommend making it with butter

I tried both the cheddar and cacio e pepe flavor and it was NOT good. The cheddar color literally looked scary bright orange. The cheese was too artificial tasting as well
I tried Goodles more out of my love for gal gadot, then for Mac & Cheese :) However, I found them to be surprisingly good! I would purchase again, although I’m not a huge Mac & Cheese fan. Don’t think it was amazing, but it was good.

Super fun remix of a classic with interesting flavors. Great package design.

Honestly, I didn't expect to love these as much as I did! Twist My Parm is a household fave - think the ultimate nostalgic, feel good flavors, without too much guilt. It's not a nightly routine, but a fun indulgence when the craving hits.

Cheddy Mac's flavor could be punched up a little, and would love to see them make single serve cups!

It is all of the things that you know about mac-n-cheese just better for you. They spark that child nostalgia element that you want from a comfort food.
Mac and cheese was hard to give up but with the science behind artificial flavors, it seemed like the best decision for my body. ENTER GOODLES. With extra protein, prebiotics, fiber, and no artificial flavoring, it takes all science-backed guilt out of a nostalgic food. Plus, it is insanely good. Creamy, great flavor, and the perfect lazy girl dinner. I always have a few boxes in my pantry.

More flavors!
These were super yummy!! I loved all the different variations they order and all of the pasta flavors were good
I'm not a fan of boxed mac n cheese, but I loved the branding of GOODLES so I thought I'd give it a try. It's super fast and easy to make - but the taste just doesn't it for me. Still tastes of bit plasticky.

I can't tell the difference from standard Kraft Mac & Cheese and I consider that a compliment! Is this the best mac and cheese ever? No, of course not, it's boxed. But it tastes like childhood and that's what you want, right?

I think this rivals the classic Kraft Mac / Annie's Mac easily. I absolutely loved the flavor and it didn't make me feel sick afterward. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves mac and cheese and wants to switch up or try a better for you version.

I know I KNOW we are not totally loving Gal Gadot right now. But this mac is acceptably tasty for the amount of protein and really makes me feel ok about eating a whole box as a vegetarian who desperately needs to eat more protein. The pasta itself has a slightly earthy flavor, but I find the cheese sauce is perfectly good.

I was looking for a cleaner alternative to your typical Mac n Cheese, and one day I found this brand in a big box store and was curious. I am SO glad I picked it up! My two boys (16 mos and 3.5 years) LOVE it! We’ve tried the shells and the macaroni noodles and currently have the microwaveable cups in our pantry. Always a hit and the flavor is SO good! I love making my favorite childhood dinner and knowing there aren’t any weird dyes or added ingredients that I can’t understand.

Super flavorful! I am happy each time I have this. The flavor always spreads well throughout the noodles. And it is super creamy and rich! I would say that the portions are either too small or I need more. But, whenever we run out, we always buy more.

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!

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.

A pantry STAPLE for me! With the rise of “healthier” alternatives to regular boxed mac and cheese, nothing holds a candle to Goodles. Twist my Parm and Down the Hatch are my go-tos. I love that I can have a low-effort meal that I know is giving me protein, fiber, etc. GOODLES FOREVER!!

The vegan goodles Mac and cheese kits are absolutely fantastic!!! They taste delicious and are rich in protein and have added nutrients from vegetables, I have repurchased multiple times.
