GOODLES Gluten-Free Vegan Be Heroes Mac and Cheese - 6 oz
Overview
GOODLES Be Heroes is a gluten-free, vegan take on classic mac and cheese, pairing tender pasta with a creamy cashew-milk cheddar sauce that brings the comfort-food flavor and texture of a traditional noodle - no gluten and no dairy required.
Beyond comfort food, each serving is genuinely nutrient-dense: it is a good source of plant-based protein and fiber with prebiotics, plus vitamins and minerals sourced from real vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and kale. The noodles themselves blend corn, brown rice, and chickpeas for a low-glycemic-index pasta with a familiar bite.
Made with non-GMO corn and a short, clean ingredient list, Be Heroes is independently tested against more than 400 contaminants. It is a feel-good pantry staple for anyone eating gluten-free or plant-based who still wants a rich, satisfying bowl of mac.
