A healthier alternative to mac and cheese, AND you can’t
even taste the difference! Mac and cheese is one of my all-time faves, as I bet
it is many of yours too! It is just a great comfort food to have in the house
for a night in or a quick dinner, but as many of you know, it is not the
healthiest meal to eat.
I recently came across chickpea mac and cheese (well
actually one of my co-workers told me she tried a sample at Fairway). Now,
obviously if you make it from scratch, I am sure it is even healthier than
buying it in a box, but it’s still chickpea mac and cheese! None of those high
carbohydrates from pasta! Chickpeas are low in carbs, a rich source of fiber,
and a quality plant protein… I’d say that is a win/win situation!
So who makes this chickpea pasta I speak of? The name is
Banza. They also sell other types of chickpea pasta as well, so that you can
create your own healthy dishes with different sauces, meat, veggies etc.
ENJOY!
