Chickapea previously introduced its protein-packed Chickapea Mac & Cheese products with a clean, organic cheese sauce and it is now expanding its offerings to include a vegan macaroni and cheese meal that can just as easily be prepared and enjoyed.
The Chickapea Vegan Mac is made with a base of chickpea lentil pasta that is enriched with a creamy sweet potato and pumpkin sauce. The nourishing, plant-powered meal provides 17 grams of protein per serving and has the potential to appeal to a wide range of consumers beyond those who are sensitive to dairy—as the pasta product is also kosher, gluten-free and Non-GMO Project verified.
The vegan-friendly macaroni meal helps to put a better-for-you spin on boxed pasta meals, which are often laden with artificial ingredients and coloring, as well as ingredients that lack real nutritional value.
