 good choice for those trying to make the switch to whole wheatMay 01, 2008
By third time mom
Okay, first off...if you can't stand regular Kraft Mac-n-Cheese don't bother with this product. It's a LOT like regular Kraft MnC. It's been made with pasta with 50% whole grain. Okay, nice compromise there; the 100% whole wheat pastas can be a bit grainy tasting but we know we all need less white flour in our diets.
Now, you're discerning 5 year old will probably be able to tell the difference between this and regular Kraft MnC and if he or she is uber-picky about change, demands a certain brand, etc, well, then, this won't fool him. But my kids ate it up fine. The 9 year old barely noticed anything different (but she likes WW pastas), the 7 yo who normally doesn't like WW MnC ate it, although could tell it was WW. The 2.5 year old just kept shoveling it in with his bare hands; I guess that means he liked it.
So in a nutshell, this is a worthwhile product to try if you're kids like Kraft MnC. Same flavor as far as the sauce goes at least. Same shape of noodles. The fiber content for a serving of this is a respectable 5g, up from 1g for the tradtional stuff. Not bad.
Of note is the fact that this product has only 6oz in a box as opposed to the 7.25oz in the traditional MnC.
For comparison's sake, I usually buy the Hogson Mill 100% WW Mac-n-Cheese. I found this a bit milder tasting as far as wheaty-ness goes; makes sense as Kraft uses a blend and HM is 100% whole wheat. My picky eater will eat the Kraft but not the HM. Hope that helps those of you with similar customers to feed. I found the Kraft brand in my stores for a little less money than what it's being sold on Amazon for, but it might be hard to find in the stores for many people.
 Great easy meal with some fiberNov 03, 2011
By R. Lussier
This is one of my favorite quick meals. (I usually divide the pasta and cheese powder in halves.) Just a 5 minute boil, to keep it from getting too soft (it says 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 minutes), and a quick mix of the cheese powder with milk and butter and you're done. Reduce your intake of white flour and get some (5g) fiber too!
kraft macaroni & cheese whole grainNov 17, 2010
By G. Itzkowitz
For some reason, I can't find this in the stores or markets in my area, and I can't eat regular pasta, so I as glad to be able to find it this way. I wish I could have ordered a smaller amount, but it is convenient to have in available (in my house) when I want it.
Great taste for healthier alternativeMar 05, 2009
By M. Hill
Perhaps it's because we haven't had "regular" mac-n-cheese for a long time, but this product didn't taste any wheatier or different to me than good ol' Mac-n-cheese. Our whole family gobbles it up (11, 7, 2 and my husband & myself) and I love that it has a good amount of fiber. Never had issues with it falling apart as the other reviewer mentioned, but you do have to be careful with all mac-n-cheese pastas as they are so small, they do over-ook very quickly.
Good price. Good product. Not too grainy for whole grainOct 01, 2008
By Rachel Himes
My family went to eating all whole grains several years ago while doing the South Beach diet. We gave up mac and cheese reluctantly and tried several "other" brands to satisfy the craving. None could compete. If you grew up on Kraft mac 'n' cheese with the bright yellow might-be-cheese sauce, you miss it. My daughter loves mac but would only get it at "Grandma's" house because I didn't keep it around much. I was excited to find out about this product, but only to find no local stores who carried it. Thank you, Amazon! It is well worth the price and tastes just like the original, just with a stronger wheat flavor. I felt the cheese sauce should be made a little stronger to compensate for the strong wheat flavor of the pasta. We don't mind the wheat taste, but some other people aren't as fond of it. If you don't care for the taste of whole wheat pasta, this probably isn't for you. We, however, will definitely reorder.
