![]() If you don't trust my palette, it seems many more people are growing wise to the fact that Banza actually makes good on its near-mythical claims. In terms of cons, you can definitely overcook them (I usually aim for a minute under the recommended amount), and it's a bit more expensive (a box is ~ $3), but the protein, fiber, and low-cal aspect justifies those inconveniences for me. ![]() It's probably not going to replace wheat noodles for you completely if you're a hardcore pasta-lover, but it is nearly indistinguishable with a sauce on top.īanza noodles don't taste "healthy" to me I actually far prefer them, based on taste alone, to whole wheat noodles. You can use them in all of the traditional dishes you love to eat without compromising on taste. While it can appeal to a wide range of dietary needs - from those with gluten allergies to vegans seeking plant-based protein to diabetics looking for low glycemic options - it's also fundamentally just a great option for "anyone who loves food and seeks a healthier lifestyle." Banza is a solution for folks who are tired of eating healthy at the expense of foods they love - which even includes Mac & Cheese. This seems to follow from how the founders conceptualize who the Banza pasta eater actually is. It's nearly indistinguishable to traditional options, but you can eat almost twice as much for the same net carbs. When a colleague mentioned Banza and how much she loved it, I bought a box fully expecting to be disappointed the same inevitable way that kids who stay up to catch their parents as Santa Claus are.Īs Banza's co-founder Brian Rudolph understands, "There's something special about pasta - people love it on an emotional level" - and that opens the door for shoppers to either enthusiastically embrace an outsider such as Banza, or vehemently shun it.īut even though I'm not gluten-free, vegan, or anything close to a healthy-eating zealot willing to put up with soggy noodles, I can honestly say Banza is the only pasta I buy now. It sounds too good to be true, but Banza noodles let you eat something that feels undeniably indulgent - like a warm bowl of rigatoni - that is actually healthy.ĭue to a general allegiance to meals that are somewhat "healthy-ish" but don't require more than 15 minutes of prep time, I've been a whole wheat pasta-eater at least two to three nights a week for the past year. Made out of chickpeas, Banza noodles have 25 grams of protein, 13 grams of fiber, and 40% fewer net carbs than traditional pasta. However, some of those healthy alternatives are undeniably better than others, and the general consensus is that Banza is the best. ![]() Well, it doesn't have zero calories yet, but healthy pasta alternatives have made the traditional indulgence much better for you. Have you ever heard someone pose the question, "If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?" and heard the quippy reply, "For pasta not to have any calories?"
