Living in a household full of picky eaters can be challenging! One hates meat, one isn’t a fan of chocolate or potatoes, and one doesn’t like “squishy” textured foods. Can you guess who they are? It makes cooking family dinners a bit tricky when everyone seems unsatisfied. That's when I discovered Banza! A healthy alternative to pasta! It's pasta made from chickpeas and it's packed with 23 grams of protein per serving! Banza pastas are gluten free, have more fiber, less net carbs than regular pasta, non GMO, vegan, and overall just better for you!
My children love eating Banza! It’s a sneaky and simple swap out to get kids to eat healthier! I love that it's a great alternative source of protein for Jaxon. I can feel more at ease knowing his diet is still well rounded without forcing him to eat meats he doesn't enjoy. Aerianna and Jaxon’s favorite way to eat it is with shrimp & alfredo sauce!
We would like to thank Banza for sponsoring this post and sending us a box full of pasta to stock our pantry!
Thank You So Much Banza!
