Annie's Shells and White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese Made with Organic Pasta

After deciding that I would get my son some macaroni and cheese for his lunches, I wondered whether or not he would enjoy or even eat something with white cheddar. I looked over the ingredients, curious to see how it differed for the other traditional macaroni and cheese from the same company. It had the absence of natural coloring agents and in place of cream, butter was used. I took a gamble and decided that we would try it out. I was certain that if my son didn't prefer the Annie's Shells and White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese made with organic pasta that I could at least eat and enjoy it. I was actually kind of happy that this macaroni and cheese did not have anything used for coloring. Although, I have to give this company credit because the coloring agents used in their other macaroni and cheese are annatto extract and beta carotene. The ingredients of the Annie's Shells and White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese are organic wheat shell pasta, cheddar cheese made with cultured pasteurized milk, non-animal enzymes, buttermilk, butter, salt and natural sodium phosphate as a natural preservative. I thought that these ingredients looked great and decided to study the nutrition facts as well.

The nutrition facts of the Annie's Shells and White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese are based on one cup of cooked macaroni and cheese without anything added. There is two hundred and seventy calories with thirty-five calories from fat in that amount as well as ten milligrams of cholesterol, five hundred and thirty milligrams of sodium, forty-seven grams of carbohydrates, two grams of fiber, five grams of sugars and ten grams of protein. With a forth of a cup of lowfat milk added to the macaroni and cheese, which is added to the powdered cheese mix, adds one gram each of protein, sugars and carbohydrates, ten milligrams of sodium, five milligrams of cholesterol and ten calories with five calories from fat. In the minerals and vitamins section vitamin A was listed with two percent, and four percent with the added milk, calcium with listed with ten percent, and fifteen percent with the added milk and iron was listed with four percent for both and both thiamin and folic acid were listed with ten percent for both. I though that the nutrition facts looked really good for the Annie's Shells and White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese.

After making it I was happy to see that my son really enjoyed it. I thought that it tasted really good too. The box made about two and a half cups of macaroni and cheese so there was plenty of it for the both of us. It turned out to be a very easy and a delicious lunch, taking less than fifteen minutes to make. This was not the first product from the Annie's brand, we've tried their Cinna Bunnies Cereal, Honey Bunnies Cereal, Honey Bunny Grahams Crackers and their two macaroni and cheeses Creamy Deluxe Whole Wheat Shells & Extra Cheesy Cheddar Sauce and Creamy Deluxe Shells & Real Aged Cheddar. I am quite pleased to support this company because they make wonderfully delicious healthy natural and organic foods. I think that we will get the Annie's Shells and White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese again, in fact I think that we will get it over the other kind of macaroni and cheese from the company. I would recommend for anyone to try out this macaroni and cheese for it's nutrition, ingredients and great taste. It only cost one dollar and fourteen cents and I am very glad that I got it.
