Good stuff
Sometimes you crave some good ole cheap Mac and cheese but you’ve become lactose and gluten free? Your stomach will thank you with this. The texture, and health benefits of just making food at home is with the extra money for an easy prep meal.

Surprisingly Tasty, Didn’t Bother My FODMAP Sensitivity Or IBS / Celiac / Lactose Intolerance!
I bought this product because I love Annie’s but the dairy in their ‘regular’ gluten free mac and cheese bothered my stomach. After reading the ingredients and knowing the bad luck I’ve had with other versions of vegan / gluten free / dairy free mac and cheese, I was expecting the yucky.But this one pleasantly surprised me!I made mine with water instead of the almond milk suggested, and added butter before mixing the sauce in. If you’re not restricted to the vegan lifestyle, the butter really helps balance the slightly tart, sometimes sour (but in a good way) cheese sauce. The sauce itself (and maybe this is because I used water) CAN get a bit gritty or pasty if you don’t add enough moisture. If you aren’t used to the no-cheese vegan flavor, I’d recommend easing into this slowly. I find it appealing, but my father, who is not gluten free and doesn’t touch vegan / dairy free substitutes, could not stand it.The good news, NO stomach distress after eating this, and I am very FODMAP sensitive with severe IBS. I have mild Celiac and lactose intolerance, and I had no problems with this mac and cheese. But again, everyone is different. The only way to know is to try it!All in all, I am very pleased with this one and will continue to eat it!

Flavor is actually pretty good, noodles not so soft
I have been looking for a dairy free option of gluten free Mac n cheese and I wanted to give this one a try. I had to cook the noodles for about 25-27 minutes at high elevation. Some are still not super soft. They taste ok, and the vegan cheese power tastes pretty good. So all in all I give it 4/5 stars.

Surprisingly Scruptious!!
I have an adult child with special needs who has certain dietary restrictions and is on a gluten free/dairy free (GF/DF) diet. I had been buying another brand of GF/DF mac and cheese, but the cheese was rather greasy and my child tended to get a stomach ache after eating it. But she loves mac and cheese. I knew about Annie’s but didn’t know they had a vegan alternative without all the oil. So, when I came across this particular Annie’s product, I got excited and bought some and both my special needs child and my grandchild LOVED IT. I tried it myself and thought it tasted so much better than what I’d been buying. The “cheese” powder (actually vegetable based of course since it’s vegan… duh! LOL!) tastes closer to real cheese than the other brand, and the rice based pasta holds up nicely, not falling apart like some pastas do (although the other brand’s pasta holds up well, too.) Although the other brand I used to buy makes a bit more than this one, the better taste is why I’ll be buying this kind from now on. I think it evens out because I end up paying less per box. I highly recommend this product! Kudos, Annie’s!

Wonderful gluten free option
Tastes delicious and love that it’s gluten free and dairy free! A lot of Mac and cheeses are either or, but this one is both!

Not the original recipe!
I’m so upset! I bought this because I like to eat vegan and I need to eat gluten free, but it seems they changed both the packaging the recipe without any warning! The original recipe was made with “pumpkin” and “sweet potato”, which gave it a nice creamy and subtly sweet flavor. This new recipe does not make any mention of either, nor does it taste even similar. On top of that, the first box I opened did not even come with a cheese packet in it. I’ve only made two boxes so far. The second one was decent and still edible, which is why I gave it at least three stars, but it was very thick, and not necessarily in a desirable way, due to the flavor. It did not taste anything like the original recipe. I would never have spent $31 on mac and cheese if I had realized that the recipe was changed, and if I had known I would get a box that didn’t have the cheese packet in it. I can just imagine what the rest of my order is going to be like.

Very good vegan & gluten free product
I read pretty mixed reviews, but I decided to try it since I can’t find any vegan AND gluten free mac and cheese in my local stores. The first box I made I used macadamia nut milk, which is all I had at the time. It is too sweet so it made it taste a little off, but not inedible. The second box I tried, I used oat milk which turned out great. It does have kind of a weird flavor to it, like all vegan cheese products I’ve tried, and rice pasta is my least favorite gluten free pasta, but it’s still very good. It’s nice to have this in the house when I get tired of eating the same old stuff.

I so desperately want to like it.
I gave it a fair shake. 6 boxes worth of effort. It just isn’t good; in fact, it’s awful. The noodles cook unevenly and have an unpleasant texture/flavor. The cheese powder is underwhelming in terms of flavor with the consistency of stagnant water. The portion is tiny considering the price. There are delicious vegan mac and cheese options. This is not one of them.

The macaroni are nothing special and the cheese is simply horrible. Very sour and strong artificial smell.
