Kraft NotCo Original Flavor Plant Based Mac & Cheese, 6 oz Box

We LOVE this Mac+cheese!! Our daughter has a severe allergy to milk, and this is an amazing alternative. Even our 4 year old son (with no allergies) doesn't mind to eat this instead of regular. Yes it does have a different taste than regular Mac+cheese, but the sauce has a similar texture so meets the craving. 🙂 We've tried several other vegan option, and this is by far the best one we've found. We appreciate that it's affordable and safe for our girl and are grateful Kraft meets the dietary need while maintaining high quality!

My fave vegan mac and cheese boxed product. Same noodle as the original. Nostalgic. Better than others, not as salty. Yummy. So grateful there’s now a vegan version!

I cant understand how people consume dairy type mac n cheese & leave this one. This tastes soooo good n the better part, its health. I'm vegan so dairy aint my thing. This i'll always buy, n recommend to others as a better mac n cheese option. Only dwnside, they increase the cost a little, but its not tooooo bad. That wont stop me tho....sorry

Actually tastes like the blue box I remember from long ago. I rank this second to Annie's Vegan Mac (not the sweet potato flavored one), then Goodles, Grown A**, then Daiya. You can prepare this to your texture preference, sticky or soupy, as you like it.

I was curious. For a long time after becoming vegan, I missed the simple convenience of the traditional "mac and yack" I grew up with. Why couldn't I find a vegan powdered cheese substitute? But then vegan powdered cheese substitutes became available. Some were even pretty good, like Magic Cheese (by Jin) if you want bright orange fake fake cheese, or Country Life if you want something a bit more like a fondue consistency. So I forgot about the traditional "mac and yack". But then Kraft finally hefted its giant bulk up onto the "Plant Based" bandwagon that so many big brands were stumbling onto these days, and I was curious. A $2.50 experiment, why not? Sure, it's sad that the four-for-a-buck box of my youth had inflated to ten times the price despite cheaper ingredients, but I'm middle aged, I don't need to squeeze every penny anymore. Well, Kraft must only be making money off this product from nostalgic vegans like me, who try it once and immediately give up on it. Because this is AWFUL. Not even a little bit cheesy, and the pasta is somehow even MORE sad than I remember it being. Heck, when I was a kid, if there were leftovers, my mother would eat them for lunch the next day, reheated in a cast iron frying pan with a little butter. I can't imagine this surviving a single night in the fridge without reverting to a nasty starchy goop. It practically STARTS as a pile of nasty starchy goop. If you just want to kill your nostalgia, sure, spend $2.50 to put it to bed. But if you want a decent, convenient vegan "mac and yack", there are better options from companies who have been putting in more than a token effort for decades. If you seriously need an all-in-one-box because heating cheese while heating pasta is too much effort, Annie's makes a decent one, and it's cheaper. Or the aforementioned powders you add boiling water to, which per-meal are even cheaper.
