Modern Table Classic Cheddar Vegan Mac & Cheese, Complete Protein, Gluten Free, No Artificial Preservatives or Dyes, 35.34 Oz, Pack of 6

I have tried most available vegan mac n cheese products and this is the best. I have tried Daiya, Roads End, Annie's, Uptons, and a few others.Road's End is probably the worst (grainy, not a ton of flavor); feel like the main cheese powder ingredient of nutritional yeast smells like it was toasted for too long.Annies and Uptons are very good as well. I dont love Daiya for much of anything except their cheesecakes, but their mac n cheese is not bad; very cheesy, but their cheese always seems oft-putting.This tastes very similar to Annies and when you look at the ingredients you can see the powder mix has very similar ingredients. What separates this is the noodles. The noodles are gluten free (i am not gluten free, but understand why they make it vegan and gluten free to increase pool of customers who want this product), but instead of white rice being the main ingredient in Annies (no nutritional value and can get mushy if slightly overcooked), these are mostly red lentils. The texture holds up great like a typical white noodle, but isnt too overpowering and thick like some whole wheat noodles get if you want to make it healthier; this then masks the thin sauce and makes you feel like your just eating noodles. The great part about this is you are eating a very healthy noodle, so although the cheese sauce is some modified junk, you are getting a ton of fiber and protein with your meal with no sacrifice of flavor or texture.The cheese powder tastes very cheap boxed mac n cheese like, which is what im looking for. Foods you grew up eating always hold a special spot inside my gut and this is the best product to mimic that but is also "healthy" as a result of noodles.

As a person who can't have dairy or coconut, my trashy mac n' cheese options are pretty limited. Most of the time, it's the sad wallpaper paste rice noodles (I'm not GF) and bland, gritty "sauce" that you basically have to build an entire new sauce around. Not this one! I've never had protein-based GF noodles before, but these are pretty nice! They don't taste weird, just like ...pasta, and they don't turn into glue if you boil them for 34 milliseconds too long. The sauce is poor-kid nostalgic off-brand powder mac n' cheese delicious. The orange "not cheese" powder tastes pretty much exactly like the orange "not cheese but some sort of dairy byproduct might be in it" powder. Slightly less salty. It benefits from a little stirring over a low flame after you mix everything together. Just a minute or two. It thickens pretty nicely, then. If you grew up like I did, you will feel an overwhelming urge to slice up a cheap hotdog into it.

So so SO happy I found this mac! I have tons of food allergies, gluten and dairy mainly, and I've missed some good ol' mac n cheese these past few years. I could never really enjoy that nasty fake cheese taste that most brands have (Daiya, Annie's, etc.) and so I kinda gave up on good vegan macaroni--until now!! My husband and I eat this at least twice a week, it's so good!. We love that the pasta itself is full of protein and nutrients, unlike traditional carb pasta. For the cheese, I use unsweetened macadamia milk or oat milk and ghee when making it, and find that those really make it taste nice and creamy. Throw in some red pepper and garlic salt, and you have a awesome pasta dish! I also like to add in ground turkey and spices for a sorta hamburger-helper meal (but way better). Additionally, it taste great with gluten free chicken strips and Frank's for a kinda buffalo mac. Honestly, it tastes good with everything. I'll eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I've got my sister and her husband, our best friends, and other family members all hooked. Definitely recommend this stuff! One of my best finds yet.

Firstly, I only have a dairy allergy and not a gluten allergy. But, it seems that most companies providing dairy-free mac-n-chz options include gluten-free pasta. I'd have to say that I wasn't a fan of the 'pasta', but the 'cheese' sauce packet was as close to traditional powdered real mac-n-chz (like Kraft) that I've come across. Most taste and smell like dirty feet, because of the yeast powder. But, this is just salty, and tastes as perfectly unhealthy as Kraft does! I ditch the gluten free pasta and just boil up some regular pasta elbows, and voila, yum!

I’ve tried all of them. Every daiya, every Annie’s, Banza, 365, howl, Upton’s, pastabilities—all the boxed vegan Mac & cheese. This is the best one hands down based off of taste alone (without even considering the nutritional profile).It tastes like a mild Kraft boxed Mac and cheese. Really. Most of the other brands had zero cheesy flavor or it had a flavor that was, well, daiya. This one hit the mark.Some tips: the best way I have found to prepare it is with oatly full fat milk and miyokos butter (the one that comes in a big block, not the one in a tub). Sometimes I sprinkle a small spoonful of nutritional yeast on there.This Mac and cheese is a an embarrassingly big part of my diet and I highly recommend. I eat it every day for lunch and can tell myself I’m not a trash human because this has so much protein it’s good for me (yes I’m aware that this isn’t how nutrition works).*banzas vegan Mac and cheese is a solid second in my book. Worth mentioning because Q1 of 2022 has clearly caused some supply issues for the classic cheddar flavor and I’ve been forced to substitute Banza in the rotation.

This stuff is delicious. I'm not vegan, but have a bunch of annoying allergies. I have been eating daiya gf cheezy shells, but after a couple years of being pretty plant based, that cheeze sauce has started tasting way too processed and chemical-y. Gross.But this stuff... Okay, so it does not taste super cheesy. Don't expect that. But it tastes good. It doesn't have super processed flavor. The texture is good. It's creamy and delicious. I made it with soy-free olive oil Follow Your Heart and Oat Milk and it was wonderful. After tasting it, I also stirred in about a teaspoon of nutritional yeast, and it was PERFECT.I will definitely be buying more!
