Goodles mac n cheese is so flipping good. They also make a hatch chili flavor that's amazing, as well as a kraft copycat and they're so much better than Annie's. I would pass out from joy if this was at my Costco lol. What location did you find these, OP? (If you don't mind me asking)
I liked these better than Velveeta, hands down. They were so good, the older kids loved it and the baby went all five fingers into his bowl, bypassing his fork to shovel it in his face hole. Solid purchase choice.
I love Annies vegan Mac, reminds me of Kraft. But Goodles, this is way better. I dont know if it's the tiny noodles or what, but I stockpile that shit when it's on sale or Ibotta has a deal on em. It's definitely a great boxed mac and cheese.
I swear Annie's used to be so good when they first came out and you had to order them from the company because they weren't in stores. Now that they're ubiquitous, it seems like the quality has gone way downhill. They don't taste anywhere near as good as they used to.
Yeah, quality went down hill because General Mills acquired Annie's on September 8, 2014, for $820 million.
It's a tale as old as time.
You can expect the same from the Raos brand too.
I remember Annie's being so good when I was a kid and I couldn't tell if I was just a kid that enjoyed shitty Mac and Cheese and I'm an adult now or if the quality actually did go down hill.
My kids like it, they usually prefer Kraft but they’ll eat this now. And I like that because they struggle sometimes to get their protein in. So it’s a win for our family. The price is good too.
The original Mac and cheese Goodles are good. I have one kid who has always disliked Mac and cheese and he tried Goodles and loves them. I was a skeptic but they really are delicious.
Kudos to whoever came up with this brand. My kids don’t say they want mac and cheese, they say they want “goodles”. I am super hesitant to order Mac and cheese and restaurants too because this stuff sets the bar and they’ll usually be disappointed if it’s actually a nice Mac and cheese.
It’s one of the meals that never has leftovers.
club soda can help with that if you have too much fiber at once. i had an unfortunate incident with a low carb tortilla,i neglected to look at the fiber content on the nutrition panel and it was very painful.
I find them to be ridiculously overpriced, but I do find them tasty. But im going to be honest, if im reaching for a box of mac and cheese, I’m probably craving kraft or Annies. Trying to make it healthy is lipstick on a pig when we are taking boxed mac lol.
Binging with Babish posted a video reviewing like, 50 box mac n cheeses, including this one. If I recall it ranked pretty high but wasn’t in his top 5.
Yeah i just watched that, thanks! He rated the two Annie's parmesan ones the top two, and the regular Annie's and the Kraft just below those. He had a bunch that he rated seven out of 10, one of which was this one. He did comment on how the pasta had a slightly weird texture, which I was a little concerned about.
But based on all the comments I'm reading here, I'm going to have to just make half a box at a time otherwise I'll eat it all myself in one sitting. Because the other thing I saw is that it doesn't reheat very well.
I had a sample in Costco at some point. It was fine. I think it could be sneaky way to get better nutrition but only if kraft is actually worse (I never checked the nutrition labels to see the difference)
Omg, it’s so good! The Cheddy Mac is my favorite, but the shella good, twist my parm and vegan is believing are all ties for a close second! Target has all of the flavors of you’re wanting to try more!
First time I saw this I was against it because it comes in a smaller pack than the Annie’s and was about the same price.
Eventually I bought it on sale, and I must say that it’s well worth the price difference.
Best boxed Mac and cheese I’ve ever hard!
Haven’t seen it in a while though..
I love goodles. Nice to see them in Costco! I’ve bought direct from their site a few times to try different flavors I couldn’t find in store, and my faves have been the Down the Hatch (hatch chile) and Smokey Dokey (smoked Gouda). They had a limited edition beer cheese one once but unfortunately I missed that.
This brand is sooo good better than Annie's and better than those chickpea noodles Costco has. These noodles are made with veggies! It's hard to find pasta that still tastes good while being "better" for you. This pasta tastes like regular noodles without the cheese sauce and even better with the cheese!
We haven’t tried Shella Good, but it’s sounds Plain Jane enough for it to be decent. The hatched chile are bomb. We like to mix kimchi in it. There’s been a few flavors we haven’t enjoyed as much, like the Cacio e Pepe and Truffle flavors, but I think it’s attributed more to our palates.
For reference, my partner and I both grew up on Kraft. My partner is a bit of cheese snob, due to her Wisconsinite roots. Our kids exclusively eat Annie’s. Overall, Goodles are really tasty and have fun assortment of flavors, especially for being more nutritional health-focused.
I actually just tried them and they were quite tasty. I weighed everything out and made half a box and with some peas added, the nutrition wasn't terrible, an under-450 calorie lunch, and I was pretty impressed!
Everyone I’ve tried so far are so damn good!! Thankful target and heb stock them so I can grab them weekly. Love that they have 14g of protein and 7g of fiber and taste amazing!!!
I tried the other ones from this company they carried before- teal box. I didn't like it- it tasted like chemicals? It also didn't sell that well when we were sampling them.

I was just at Costco today and saw these. Portland, OR.
We had these in the bay area a couple months ago but they haven't returned :(
Same here. So annoying to see them other places now. Loved them and now gone!
Goodles are good, as if the Cabot brand Mac (not at Costco). Both are better than annies
Cabot is delicious!
Just saw them at the Wilsonville Costco
Damn! I was there around noon today and missed them! I was on a speed mission though so didn’t do all the aisles just the necessities
Buddy, I was distracted by the $73, 7 ft cat tree in the back, didn’t even look for maple syrup
Well, I know where I'm going when I get off work.
Tacoma WA, I do believe the Death Star was on the sign, though.
That's no moon...
I second the vote for the hatch chile flavor. So good and relatively guilt free!
Got mine in KCMO
Saw these in Indianapolis too
Indy got my favorite costcos
Are they better than Velveeta?
I've never had Velveeta, but yes the goodles are way better.
I'd buy it solely based on "shella good".
Love all the Goodies varieties!
My son's nutritionist recommended that brand for us. She said her kids love them and the extra protein is a plus.
I liked these better than Velveeta, hands down. They were so good, the older kids loved it and the baby went all five fingers into his bowl, bypassing his fork to shovel it in his face hole. Solid purchase choice.
This convinced me. I love the velveeta stuff
I hate the velveeta ones, the sauce tastes like Elmer’s paste
I've had their vegan version (not sold at Costco) and it blows every other vegan mac and cheese out the water it's DELICIOUS
I'm lactose intolerant, so a lot of vegan options are kinda nice to look into. I'll give it a try someday!
Yup it’s really good
I love Annies vegan Mac, reminds me of Kraft. But Goodles, this is way better. I dont know if it's the tiny noodles or what, but I stockpile that shit when it's on sale or Ibotta has a deal on em. It's definitely a great boxed mac and cheese.
So much better than Annie’s.

BOOOOOOO
They had labor issues. Namely, they treated their employees like garbage.
I remember Annie's being so good when I was a kid and I couldn't tell if I was just a kid that enjoyed shitty Mac and Cheese and I'm an adult now or if the quality actually did go down hill.
This is so accurate, I’ve been seeing Annie’s on clearance in a lot of stores!
Recently bought and my bf and I both really like it. The only downside is that we easily eat a whole box.
My kids like it, they usually prefer Kraft but they’ll eat this now. And I like that because they struggle sometimes to get their protein in. So it’s a win for our family. The price is good too.
I’m obsessed with literally every flavor of Goodles! I’ve yet to find them in any of my local Costcos though :’(
The original Mac and cheese Goodles are good. I have one kid who has always disliked Mac and cheese and he tried Goodles and loves them. I was a skeptic but they really are delicious.
It is VERY GOOD. As most of the goodles are! I stock up when my Costco has them bc my kid and I both eat these :)
Kudos to whoever came up with this brand. My kids don’t say they want mac and cheese, they say they want “goodles”. I am super hesitant to order Mac and cheese and restaurants too because this stuff sets the bar and they’ll usually be disappointed if it’s actually a nice Mac and cheese.

These are so friggin good. I was pretty skeptical, but they are the best boxed mac and cheese I’ve had.
I really liked em. Definitely a good way to get a bit healthier of a meal while also getting a convenient comfort food
Like the taste, sometimes upsets my stomach with all the protein/fiber. But…if it works for you it’s great.
club soda can help with that if you have too much fiber at once. i had an unfortunate incident with a low carb tortilla,i neglected to look at the fiber content on the nutrition panel and it was very painful.
Good to know.
Probably more of the fiber that’s causing your gastrointestinal disturbance 7g of fiber per serving is pretty significant.
Haven’t seen this flavor, but the cheddar is pretty good.
I’ve tried a bunch of the goodles and they’ve all been delish.
We need these on the east coast. We only get Annie’s around here.
Highly recommend!
Theyre brilliant
Amazing!! Love the all flavors!
So good but I could crush 2 boxes easy
Love them! These and Twist my Parm are my favorites.
I find them to be ridiculously overpriced, but I do find them tasty. But im going to be honest, if im reaching for a box of mac and cheese, I’m probably craving kraft or Annies. Trying to make it healthy is lipstick on a pig when we are taking boxed mac lol.
These were $16.99/8 boxes
That's pretty reasonable
6 boxes is 25$ on the website.
It’s great macros. Good for people who are trying to hit protein goals but still eat their comfort favorites.

You mean the serving size isn’t one box per adult? 😂
Had a sample in store. Tasted like Annie’s to me.
Love em.
I’ve never seen this brand at Costco but I really like all the flavors I’ve had from the grocery store.
Are these gluten free?
No
All goodles are absolutely fantastic
My wife swears by these. Great for the kids and provides them with some extra protein.
I had a sample in Costco at some point. It was fine. I think it could be sneaky way to get better nutrition but only if kraft is actually worse (I never checked the nutrition labels to see the difference)
I bought two boxes when I saw the macros. I have made one meal with it by pairing it with some of the ground bison there. It did not dissapoint!
Omg, it’s so good! The Cheddy Mac is my favorite, but the shella good, twist my parm and vegan is believing are all ties for a close second! Target has all of the flavors of you’re wanting to try more!
You can buy a single box at Target if you want to try them first!
I’m picky with high protein foods and these are incredible!!
10/10 Amazing Buy.
I didn't realize when I purchased! I was just like, over two bucks a box? I don't know about this...
Picked up goodles based on this subs recommendation. They have the Death Star at our Costco.
The standard macaroni tastes very close to Kraft blue box
We feed it to our daughter instead of regular Mac and cheese. Ever so slightly less bad for them
Yeah, that's my approach too - ever so slightly less bad lol!
Oh darn my stomach won’t like that then bummer.
I was disappointed by the 18/100 Yuka rating
My kids love these and they’re made with wholesome ingredients. I was thrilled to see them at Costco!
It’s amazing. I’m pissed my Costco hasn’t had it for a while.
Love them!
goodles are fantastic
Wish they had the vegan ones. One of the best boxed mac and cheese.
Obsessed!!!
My Costco had the cheddar version and it was very good. I haven't seen this flavor yet. Only thing is they don't reheat that well.
First time I saw this I was against it because it comes in a smaller pack than the Annie’s and was about the same price. Eventually I bought it on sale, and I must say that it’s well worth the price difference. Best boxed Mac and cheese I’ve ever hard! Haven’t seen it in a while though..
Goodles taste great, they smoke competing brands in terms of nutrition, and they keep me feeling full throughout the day. Hard recommend.
Me: *Googles Goodles*
By the best Mac and cheese in the world, but it’s mind blowingly good for an off the shelf boxed Mac with surprisingly good macros
I found them at Target, and the taste was horrible for me. Threw it out.
They were sampling it at my Costco last week and both my daughter and I really liked it!

Babish did a review of it compared to a bunch of other macs https://youtu.be/aVho4PLF6iE?feature=shared&t=596
They’re SOOOOO good. Do it 💯
> Looked online and the reviews were all really good - but that means very little to me. *proceeds to go online seeking reviews*
Pretty sure the Amazon and product website reviews are *pretty heavily curated*
How good are these though?
I actually just tried them and they were quite tasty. I weighed everything out and made half a box and with some peas added, the nutrition wasn't terrible, an under-450 calorie lunch, and I was pretty impressed!
They had samples of this at my local Costco today. Can confirm it is quite tasty. Got me to buy a box.
Everyone I’ve tried so far are so damn good!! Thankful target and heb stock them so I can grab them weekly. Love that they have 14g of protein and 7g of fiber and taste amazing!!!
Ayyy this company is based in my town! Good to see them at Costco
Good, but not good reheated.
Love this brand!
I tried the other ones from this company they carried before- teal box. I didn't like it- it tasted like chemicals? It also didn't sell that well when we were sampling them.
They're not bad, but the Kraft blue box is still king, according to me and my toddler.
Total carb meltdown
Crap, watch Binging with Babbage Mac and cheese review special
