Clean-Label Macaroni Meals

Goodles' Deluxe Mac and Cheese is Indulgent & Exceptionally Nutritious

— August 13, 2024 — Lifestyle
Boxed mac and cheese is a quick-cooking meal that's immensely comforting yet often less-than-healthy, but not in the case of better-for-you brand Goodles' deluxe mac and cheese line.

The new Ched Over Heels and Shell We Dance varieties are the only deluxe mac and cheeses on the market to receive Clean Label Project's Purity Award. These easy-to-make, exceptionally creamy bowls feature nutrient-packed noodles, a low glycemic index, 16 grams of protein and seven grams of fiber per serving. Best of all, the deluxe-style mac and cheeses don't need butter or milk to prepare thanks to Goodles' use of real shredded cheddar in its sauces.

These squeezy mac and cheese meals satisfy the demand for thick, creamy and extra indulgent comfort meals without guilt, and without the need to save the enjoyment of them for a special occasion.
