Goodles Mac & Cheese Review: Your New Cheesy Obsession
Hey there, fellow mac & cheese lover! If you‘re anything like me, you consider yourself a bit of a mac & cheese connoisseur. You‘ve tried every brand and variety under the sun in search of that perfect bite of cheesy goodness. Well, I‘m excited to tell you that the search is over, because I‘ve found the holy grail of mac & cheese. Introducing Goodles, the most revolutionary noodles to ever hit the market!
What are Goodles?
Goodles is a brand spanking new line of mac & cheese that is shaking up everything we thought we knew about the beloved comfort food. Dreamt up by a team of food lovers and experts, including the one and only Wonder Woman Gal Gadot, Goodles is mac & cheese made better.
How much better, you ask? Let‘s start with the nutrition facts. One serving of Goodles contains a whopping 14 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and 21 essential nutrients. That means you can feel good about scarfing down a big bowl of cheesy noods, knowing you‘re getting a balanced and satisfying meal.
But Goodles isn‘t just healthy mac & cheese – it‘s also insanely delicious. They offer four signature flavors (Cheddy Mac, Mover & Shaker, Shella Good, and Twist My Parm), each more mouthwatering than the last. Plus, they release new limited edition flavors for every season, so there‘s always something new to try.
The Secret Sauce (or Noodle)
So what makes Goodles so much better than your average boxed mac? The secret is in the noodles. Unlike traditional mac & cheese that‘s made with refined white flour, Goodles noodles are packed with wholesome ingredients like:
- Chickpeas
- Pumpkin
- Mushrooms
- Sweet potato
These superstar ingredients give the noodles a natural boost of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals – without compromising on taste or texture. In fact, the noodles are so smooth and creamy, you‘d never guess they were hiding veggies!
To prove just how much of a nutritional powerhouse Goodles is, let‘s compare it to the leading brand of boxed mac & cheese. A serving of Kraft Original Mac & Cheese contains:
- 260 calories
- 4g protein
- 1g fiber
- 5% daily value calcium
- 4% daily value iron
Meanwhile, a serving of Goodles Cheddy Mac contains:
- 280 calories
- 14g protein
- 6g fiber
- 15% daily value calcium
- 60% daily value iron
Plus an alphabet of vitamins, from vitamin A to zinc! And the best part is, all those nutrients come from simple, non-GMO ingredients you can actually pronounce – no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in sight.
Don‘t Just Take My Word For It
I know what you‘re probably thinking – "sure, it‘s healthy, but there‘s no way it actually tastes good." Well my skeptical friend, prepare to be amazed. Because I‘ve personally served Goodles to dozens of friends and family members, and every single one of them was blown away by the rich, cheesy flavor and perfect pasta texture.
My niece and nephew beg me to make them Goodles every time they come over (what can I say, I‘m the cool aunt!). I‘ve brought Goodles to potlucks and nobody could believe it came from a box. I‘ve even converted my Kraft-obsessed best friend into a loyal Goodles customer!
But Goodles isn‘t just a hit in my social circles – it‘s earned rave reviews from critics and customers across the globe. The mac & cheese mavens at Greatist said "Goodles is the only boxed mac and cheese we‘ve ever tasted that has the power to teleport you straight to your happy place."
And with hundreds of 5-star reviews on their website, it‘s clear that Goodles is a mac & cheese lover‘s dream come true. Here are just a few gems I pulled from their review page:
"I never leave reviews but I just have to say how much I LOVE these!! I am a mac and cheese connoisseur and these are THE BEST!!" – Miranda P.
"This is hands down the best boxed mac & cheese I‘ve ever had! The flavor is incredible and I love that it has added nutrients. My whole family loves it!" – Brandon T.
"I bought these on a whim and WOW am I glad I did! The white cheddar shells are insane, I could eat the entire box in one sitting. And the cacio pepe is the perfect fancy mac. Can‘t wait to try the rest!" – Tiffany G.
More to Love
In addition to their killer flavor and nutrition, there are so many reasons to stan Goodles. For one, they are committed to using only the highest quality, non-GMO ingredients. They also believe everyone deserves great mac, so they offer a delicious vegan variety made with a cheesy vegan "cashewmilk" sauce. And for my gluten-free friends, get excited because Goodles will be launching gluten-free noodles very soon!
Another reason to love Goodles? Their commitment to giving back. For every box sold, Goodles donates to organizations fighting childhood hunger. So you can feel extra warm and fuzzy while enjoying your mac & cheese knowing that you helped support an amazing cause.
Goodles also ships their noods worldwide, so you can get your cheesy fix no matter where you live. And for my fellow subscription box addicts, you can sign up to get your favorite Goodles flavors delivered to your door every month. Plus, when you subscribe you save 15% on every order!
Mac & Cheese Remix
As much as I adore Goodles straight from the box, I also love getting creative with them in the kitchen. Here are a few drool-worthy ideas to take your Goodles to the next level:
- Stir in some crispy bacon and sautéed broccoli for a classic combo
- Top with barbecue pulled pork or chicken for a Southern-inspired feast
- Mix with salsa, black beans and chopped bell peppers for a Southwestern kick
- Add lump crab meat and Old Bay seasoning for a costal mac & cheese
- Swap the butter/milk for greek yogurt and add pesto for a lighter twist
The options are endless! Goodles are also a great base for mac & cheese bakes, chaffles (that‘s a cheese waffle, for the uninitiated), or even fried mac & cheese balls. I mean, has there every been a more perfect food?
The Verdict
By now it should be obvious that I‘m completely head over heels for Goodles. As a mac & cheese fanatic, I‘ve honestly never tasted anything like them. The fact that they‘ve managed to pack in so much nutrition in a food that is the ultimate indulgence is nothing short of genius.
It‘s clear that the Goodles team put a ton of love (and cheddar) into crafting the perfect mac & cheese. From the first creamy forkful, you can taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into every batch.
I love that Goodles is on a mission to make comfort foods we can feel good about eating. So often, we‘re made to feel guilty for enjoying the foods we love. But with Goodles, you can have your mac and eat it too! Literally, I give you full permission to eat the entire box in one sitting. I won‘t judge.
So if you haven‘t treated yourself to a box (or 12) of Goodles yet, what are you waiting for? Your mac & cheese dreams are about to come true. And once you‘ve tried Goodles, I just know you‘ll be singing their praises too (or maybe that‘s the sound of your belly rumbling in happiness).
Goodles, thanks for rocking my mac & cheese loving world. And to all my fellow cheese enthusiasts, promise me you‘ll give Goodles a try and report back! I‘d love to hear how much you adore them. Until then, stay cheesin‘!
