Banza bonanza!

The name sounds fun at least right?

I'm a lover of macaroni and cheese. Always have been. To some of you that means the fancy shmancy dishes for adults, but, honestly, I'm talking about the box. Good memories growing up eating it, perfectly the art of the mixing and stir, to mastering the half box when there was no one to share with. When I saw Banza was doing a Mac and cheese party I knew it was for me.

Some of the details you need to know is it's vegan, gluten free (until we added our regular butter and milk), and high in protein because it's made from chickpeas.

The details you want to know....how did it taste?

Well, it was pasta a little bit more chewy, the smell and color a little off. I ate my whole bowl. I didn't have that much, but it was filling. Others liked it too, both adults and children. Some adults didn't like it varying from "one bite was enough" to "I wouldn't choose to eat it again." My child wouldn't even tr it. Granted he's a picky 3 year old, but he typically eats macaroni. Many children didn't try it besides him, though.

So while a healthier option of macaroni is cheese would be nice, I don't think I've found my option yet.

Thanks for letting me try something new #tryazon #banza!
