Good Alternative |
Annie's Natural Shells are a good alternative to the pasty white flour Kraft Mac & Cheese. Flavor is good for a boxed Mac & Cheese when you just want something quick and easy. Kids will not know the difference; just your wallet will.
However I don't care for all of their organic and the "I'm saving the Earth so I'm a better person for buying this product" mumbo jumbo. There are those of us that just want healthy alternatives without all of the being green politically correctness. The fact is that the dairy products that they use come from cows that eventually end up in a saluter house.
"How nice is that Mr. Rabbit?" |

Tastes Like the No-Name Store Brand |
|
It tastes absolutely the same as any other store mac-and-cheese. The "totally natural" cheese is a fine-as-talcum-powder substance in a foil packet. Save some money and buy the store brand for 69 cents on sale at Ralph's Market. |

no flavor |
|
Was very disappointed, there was no real cheese flavor. Had to add our own extra sharp cheddar to give it pop. Also, cheese sauce didn't cover the noodles well. |

Healthy Mac & Cheese--not an oxymoron |
|
Finally, I found a product that satisfies my daughter's mac and cheese craving and also meets my nutrition requirements. We've tested this on several young teens and they all found it delicious; what more could you ask from an instant pasta dish? |

Good for What It Is |
|
I compare this to Kraft or other conventional mac 'n cheese products and give it a 5. You cannot compare it to homemade, however. I actually haven't touched any mac n cheese other than natural ones in decades...yuk. But this is a product I like to have on hand for nights I don't want to cook. Quick, easy--almost like not cooking. Tasty. |
