Hit Your Protein Goals with Banza's Newest Pasta
Semolina wheat meets the power of chickpeas in a better-for-you noodle.
The protein craze is continuing to pick up...and the newest product to hit shelves is one that I'm especially excited about. Banza, the brand known for bringing chickpea pasta to the market, just launched Wheat Protein Pasta and Wheat Protein Mac & Cheese.
Both of these products are made with semolina wheat and chickpeas, resulting in delicious noodles that deliver a protein-packed punch. The Wheat Protein Pasta offers 22 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber per serving, and is available in rotini, penne, and elbow shapes. Banza Wheat Mac & Cheese delivers 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per serving. Best of all, you won't have to sacrifice taste or texture to hit your protein goals.
While chickpea pasta was unheard of when Banza launched in 2014, it's since become part of the mainstream. So much so that Banza is now the 5th largest pasta brand in the United States. And while chickpea pasta is a great option for gluten-free folks, their newest products are perfect for people who still want to eat wheat–but get the great health benefits of chickpeas, too (including that amazing protein!).
"We started Banza to inspire people to eat more chickpeas, and this launch is about finding new ways to do exactly that," explains Brian Rudolph, CEO and co-founder of Banza. "There are millions of consumers who want better nutrition but aren't willing to compromise on the taste and texture of wheat pasta. This product is for them."
Gluten-free and worried about cross-contamination with this new wheat product line? Don't be. "I'm gluten-free myself, so I understand the importance of trust when it comes to what's on the label," Rudolph says. "Our new wheat products are produced in a dedicated, separate facility from our gluten-free lines."
Plus, these new products from Banza are CleanScan Certified by The Detox Project. This means they were tested for glyphosate and 400+ pesticides and showed non-detectable levels. Whether you're making macaroni and cheese for your kiddos or a protein-rich pasta salad for yourself, you can prep, cook and enjoy with greater peace of mind.
Right now, you can order Banza Wheat Protein Pasta and Wheat Mac & Cheese exclusively onn their site and TikTok Shop. Starting in May, you'll be able to grab it at your local Fresh Direct, Sprouts, Target, Publix and Whole Foods Market.
