According
to the box the meal is made with organic pasta, no GMO ingredients and
no preservatives. Granted, the sodium level is a little high - but I
feel if it suits your lifestyle and you're getting in water a little
extra sodium at one meal isn't going to hurt you.
All
that aside, I have to say, this is one of the best frozen mac &
cheeses I have tried to date. I enjoy the reduced guilt mac & cheese
from Trader Joe's - but I find this one is a lot creamier in
consistency. The pasta in this isn't your normal run of the mill elbow
macaroni, this is a cavatappi pasta (corkscrew). The shape of the pasta
certainly helps the cheesey goodness stick to the noodle. The creaminess
of the dish certainly make it delicious - it'd be great with a little
broccoli added to it to bulk it up, or even alongside some grilled
protein. Admittedly the shape of the container it is does make it seem
like you're getting gypped for the calorie intake but it's satisfying so
it's well worth it.
I think the thing I like
the most, outside of it being tasty, is that it has 14 grams of protein
in it! That's pretty good considering it's a frozen meal. I did pair
this alongside a turkey burger - but I've also had it for a 'lighter
lunch" with a greek yogurt on the side. Either way, it's been satisfying
and I'd undoubtedly repurchase again.
A serving, 1 container, is 260 calories or 7 points plus values.
