Kraft Whole Grain Mac & Cheese, 6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 24) Review

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.

I have read about Fiber Gourmet, and specifically the Mac-mm-Cheese and I was very curious to try it out. I mean, how good can this possibly be considering it is loaded with fiber and lower in calories. Well, the answer to that question is pretty darn good. In fact I just finished box number two in 3 days. The pasta has a nice al dente texture, and really tastes like pasta. Infact, you could easily make this and not tell that picky eater that they are actually eating healthy, with all that fiber and low calories.
Some people have said that they like to add cheese to this. The first box I cooked I added a little to much milk and it made the cheese stick to the pot and not the pasta. Tonight, I did less milk,put a little smart balance, added half the cheese packet then mixed and put into two bowls. (one for me, one for the boyfriend who likes it too). Then I split up the remainder of the cheese between the too, added a few more drops of milk, mixed, and then perfection. No extra cheese needed because it was all on the pasta and almsot none in the pan.
The price to buy direct is a little steep, because shipping is 5.99, so total cost for 6 boxes is 26.99 or 4.49 a box. Amazon had the mac-mmm-Cheese for 6 boxes for 16.72 shipped,or 2.78 a box, so I jumped. As soon as Amazon gets it back in stock, I am ordering. I think I may be hooked. So if you are on the fence, just order it, you'll be glad you did.
