Kraft NotCo Lactose Free Mac and Cheese, 1 Box, Plant Based, Original Flavor, No Artificial Dyes, Good Source of Iron (15%), 10g of Protein (8% Daily Value), 6 oz

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!

The best box style vegan macaroni & cheese! It is very similar to the original (dairy) version. Kudos to Kraft for delivering an excellent mock product that is actually desirable! 🙌🏽

Tasted really good and like the non plant based version. I added black pepper and nutritional yeast.

I remember eating this before becoming plant based, so seeing a plant based version I was curious to try it. I have to say that I like it! It's very "cheesy" and it smells wonderful. The only thing is that there's a slightly sweet taste, but I plan to buy these again.

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.

This is my favorite vegan mac and cheese. It tastes just like the original that I used to eat as kid. If you don't people it's vegan, they cannot tell the difference. Recommend using a decent vegan butter (Earth Balance/I Can't Believe It's Vegan/Miyokos) and unsweetened Almond/Oat/Soy/Cashew milk for the best flavor consistency. You can use Coconut milk, but the consistency will not be as rich as Coconut milk is much thinner. Almond, Oat, or Soy (unflavored, unsweetened) brings out the cheese flavor best. Cashew milk may make it taste a little nutty. Overall, better than any other brand of vegan mac and cheese I have tried.

the product itself is good and tastes like the regular version, receiving it undamaged is very difficult. 3 of the 5 boxes I ordered were damaged to the point of the pasta pouring out of it

These are the closest I have come to having good bad mac and cheese since I had to cut out dairy due to a developed allergy. These taste just very nearly like the original thing, and you stop noticing the slight fake-cheese funky taste after a few bites, and you may not even notice that if you're not sensitive to it like I am. Overall, it's a great find for me. I love it so very much because having to cut out Kraft was so heartbreaking to me.
