Road's End Organics Shells & Chreese Taste and Texture

Road's End Organics Shells & Chreese have a great texture and are not at all gritty - like some powdered cheese alternatives can be. The pasta shells cook up nicely and I had no trouble mixing in the powdered mix. I added a little vegan butter for a smoother texture, but I really think it would have been fine without it as well.

As for taste, well, let me put it this way - my partner and I bought two boxes so that we could give it a try. We split a box between us last night and have decided to buy 10 boxes next time we go grocery shopping. It really is that good. I couldn't get enough of it and can't wait to have it again. Now, I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years and vegan for the last several years, so I couldn't tell you whether or not it tastes like those popular non-vegan shells and cheese products, but that's why I enlist my partner to help me with these reviews. He has only been vegan a few months and was a big fan of those non-vegan macaroni and cheese boxes. So, if my opinion isn't enough, you can take his word for it - he says that Road's End Organics Shells & Chreese does not taste like the big name non-vegan versions (it's better!) and he absolutely loves it.

Road's End Organics Shells & Chreese are super easy to prepare and less than $2.00 a box (a plus for any organic, vegan meal!). I absolutely love the flavor and highly recommend that anyone looking for a healthier alternative for you or your kids gives this one a try!

Road's End Organics Shells & Chreese will be a mainstay in my cupboard for years to come and I highly recommend that you get some for your pantry as well!
