Banza Cheddar Protein Mac & Cheese — 6-Pack 5.5 oz Boxes, 16g Protein, Chickpea + Wheat Pasta

Banza Cheddar Protein Mac & Cheese is a high-protein, wheat-and-chickpea pasta meal that delivers 16g of protein per serving with a creamy, classic cheddar flavor.

If you love traditional mac & cheese but want more protein and cleaner ingredient confidence, this ready-in-minutes boxed meal blends pasta made from wheat and chickpeas with real cheddar cheese for a comfort-food experience upgraded for modern diets. The 6-pack of 5.5 oz boxes is designed for family meals, meal prep, or pantry convenience, and Banza’s CleanScan certification means independent testing showed non-detectable levels of glyphosate and 400+ pesticides.

How does this mac & cheese fit into a higher-protein meal plan?

Each serving delivers 16 grams of protein — substantially more than standard boxed mac and cheese — because the pasta is made with chickpeas and wheat. That increased protein helps make the dish more filling and suitable as a main component of a balanced meal.

• 16 g protein per serving, useful for satiety and muscle maintenance
• Made with chickpea + wheat pasta for a protein-forward base
• Pair with a side salad or veg for a complete plate

Will this taste like the mac & cheese I remember?

Banza aims for the familiar creamy, cheesy flavor profile you expect from classic cheddar mac & cheese while incorporating higher-protein pasta. The sauce uses real cheddar to preserve comfort-food texture and mouthfeel, and it cooks just like traditional boxed varieties.

• Creamy cheddar sauce made with real cheese for classic flavor
• Pasta texture engineered to mimic traditional elbow macaroni
• Designed to maintain quality as leftovers, easy reheating

How quick and convenient is preparation for weeknight dinners?

Preparation follows the simple steps of boxed mac & cheese: boil, drain, mix in the cheese sauce, and serve. The streamlined process makes it a fast option for busy evenings, packing satisfying flavor without lengthy cooking or cleanup.
