- Kaizen Fusilli Protein Pasta, 20g Protein, Low Carb (6g Net Carbs), Keto-Friendly, Gluten-Free, Plant-Based Lupini Noodles, High Fiber, 8 Ounce, Pack of 3

Last saturday, I was running late from the gym and needed something fast. These cooked up in about eight minutes, and I tossed them with just some olive oil, red pepper flakes and parmesan. The texture is pleasantly firm and has the satisfying chew you’d want from a good noodle. I also noticed that I didn't get that typical heavy, bloated feeling afterward, likely because of the high fiber and protein. It’s a very practical, reliable staple for anyone who wants to enjoy a big bowl of comfort food while staying on track with their health journey. Having it as a regular part of my rotation has really helped me avoid the temptation of ordering takeout when I'm tired.

A solid choice when you want a noodle that really catches the seasonings. It allows me to enjoy a big bowl of pasta without the heavy, bloated feeling that follows traditional wheat. It boils up fast and stays firm, which is a big win for low-carb cooking.

A little pricy but a great option for high protein low carb option. This cooks completely different than normal pasta, and I highly encourage you to stand at the pot the entire time to stir it so it doesn’t boil over. Cooks up in about 6 minutes, has a similar taste to regular pasta and when mixed with a sauce or other items you can’t really tell the difference. The pasta by itself however has a unique flavor. It’s not bad at all but it is different from regular pasta. If meal prepping, I’d encourage you to only make enough for 1-2 days out. Any longer than that and it tends to “breakdown” and get an almost gritty texture. This is probably one of the better alternatives I’ve tried and easily recommend it as a go. You get a lot of noodles in the box and can easily portion out several helpings worth

This Kaizen pasta comes in very handy if you are on a low carb diet and don't want to be left out on family pasta night. I am glad such a product even exists. But flavor-wise, I really didn't like it -- it has a very dull, almost chalky taste, so it's really only workable with very flavorful sauce. This product is not delicious enough by itself to ever eat with just butter and salt when you are craving carbs! The name of the product -- "Kaizen" -- refers to constant, gradual improvement, so let's hope the company is still busy at work on an updated version with more flavor and less "chalk." To achieve that, I suspect they'll need to add more ingredients, such as chickpea or brown rice flour. The current product uses only one ingredient, and I admire the company for not using filler or chemical ingredients. That's admirable -- but it's not quite adequate in this case. I love the idea and intention and goals for this product, and I will stand by to try a future, hopefully more flavorful "kaizen" protein pasta when they try again!

Absolutely the best protein pasta I’ve found and I’ve tried them all. The texture is very close just not as soft as traditional pasta. It does take longer to boil. But I buy a low sugar sauce and I feel like I’m indulging in a pasta meal. So good!

Has a mild, neutral flavor that works well with different sauces. The texture is slightly firm and chewy, a pasta-like bite without feeling too heavy.

The taste is pretty good for something that isn’t real pasta—it’s made from bean flour and is a very low-carb option, which makes it great. I just didn’t realize I’m allergic to lupini since I had never tried it before, so I started getting itchy both times after eating it. Just something to have in mind if you have never tried lupini before!

I've been trying to add more protein to my meals and this has been an easy way to do that. The only thing I notice is the texture difference from regular pasta which I really don't mind. It's filling and tastes good so it works for me.

I love the texture of this pasta! It blends well with any sauce and I like that it has lots of protein and fiber.

La neta esta pasta me sorprendió muchísimo. Yo ya no comía pasta normal de harina porque no me encanta cómo me cae ni el sabor, entonces estuve comprando la de garbanzo en Chedraui… pero la verdad nunca me terminó de convencer. Luego encontré esta y ¡wow! Está buenísima. De verdad sabe súper parecida a la pasta normal, la textura está increíble y no se siente “rara” como otras opciones. Ya se volvió mi favorita sin duda. Si estás buscando una alternativa más ligera pero que sí sepa rica, esta es la buena. Súper recomendada 🙌

I just made this, and it’s INCREDIBLE! I was starving and made 1.5 servings (I could handle the cals today), but I couldn’t finish the bowl. Highly filling, good texture, and I’m excited to try different recipes. It’s expensive, but works with my macros and is fast to whip up on a weeknight. Very happy with this pasta!

I actually follow the maker of this product on Instagram and as someone who’s lived keto for several years was really looking forward to this product being a great replacement for pasta or rice unfortunately, this product is not good. I really really wished it was good. I was so excited, but unfortunately, it’s super gritty consistency very weirdly starchy even though it’s not supposed to be starchy definitely would not purchase again.

Great alternative. Tastes great. Make sure to follow the instructions on the box. I was way over cooking mine in the beginning. The noodles will just fall apart if cooked too long.
