Description

Chickpea mac n’ cheese that’ll make your whole dinner table go quiet, except for the clinking of spoons and occasional deep sigh of satisfaction. This one is the OG classic: elbows and yellow cheddar cheese. Except this mac attack is even better than your childhood version. These elbows hit different. Packed with protein. Filled with fiber. Just what every grown-up wants and needs. And just what every kid wants. But doesn’t realize they need… 🤫

Ingredients: Chickpea Pasta: Chickpeas, Pea Starch, Tapioca, Xanthan Gum.

Cheese: Cheddar Cheese (Cultured Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Enzymes), Nonfat Milk, Buttermilk, Butter (Cream, Salt), Salt, Lactic Acid, Disodium Phosphate, Annatto and Paprika Extract (color).

Contains: Milk.

Butter isn’t required, but if you want to live on the wild side, adding a tablespoon or two will make the final cheese sauce richer and creamier!
A creamy bowl of mac is a great place to throw in some veggies, fresh herbs or spices to change things up. We love adding roasted broccoli to the yellow cheddar.

Tried this for the first time last week. I had it for lunch when I got home from the gym - 18g of protein in a serving, and way more rewarding/satisfying than a protein shake. The cheese sauce was super flavorful.

1 out of 5 stars. Doesn't taste like pasta, worst gas of my life

I'm trying to eat less pasta to lose weight, and I decided to try this and it was the worst experience. It did not taste like pasta, the chickpeas overpowered the taste of the cheese.
