Do you ever buy something and then you realize when you got home it’s not what you thought it was? Well that is what happened with me and this mac and cheese. In my defense Trader Joes can be a war zone on Saturdays. I was trying to be fast and smooth so when I saw mac and cheese in the frozen section I grabbed it and threw it into the cart.
It wasn’t until I got home to un pack the groceries I realized that what I actually got was reduced guilt mac and cheese. I would be lying if I say I was not a little disappointed, but I was still willing to give it a try.
Sadly this is not the most exciting product of theirs I have ever tried, but I must say I was expecting worse. To my surprise it tasted exactly like regular mac and cheese. It was creamy, rich, and honestly did satisfy my mac and cheese craving.
The convenience of the meal was nice. The instructions tell you to microwave the mac and cheese on high for 3-4 minutes and then letting it rest for 1 minute before eating. The meal in total is only 270 calories, but I must say it was more like a snack than a meal to me.
I would say if you are trying to watch your weight, but are craving some mac and cheese then this is something you should try. If you are a late night snacker like me this is a good option as well. Overall I would give this product a 5/10. It was good just nothing special.
I love mac and cheese, but once I’m eating it, I get tired of it quickly. Another downside to microwave meals is that they’re never a “meal” size. Like you said, it’s more of a snack.

Shame. Guess I’ll stick to homemade stove-top mac and cheese then

Mac and cheese has never been a side dish that I liked. So I can only imagine what a frozen “healthy option” of Mac and cheese must taste like.
