Updated in 2020! Annie’s Vegan Mac & Cheese comes in not one, but three varieties, each with their own unique flair. But all of them are certified organic, made without artificial flavors, synthetic colors, or preservatives, and made with non-GMO ingredients. And the options include a little something for everyone – Annie’s makes two flavors with classic wheat noodles and one with gluten-free noodles.
Annie’s Vegan Mac and Cheese for Classic Cravings & Gluten-Free Needs
Annie’s also makes dairy mac and cheese in several flavors, and the boxes can look similar to the vegan packaging. So check the label carefully to make sure you are picking up a vegan-labeled box for dairy-free needs. They’re all labeled “Vegan Mac” as you can see in the packaging photos below.

Cheddar Flavor (wheat-based)
This is Annie’s classic mac and cheese variety.
Ingredients: organic pasta (organic wheat flour), organic vegan cheddar flavor seasoning (organic rice syrup solids, organic palm oil, sea salt, organic corn starch, organic pea protein, natural flavor, sunflower lecithin, lactic acid, organic annatto extract [for color], silicon dioxide [for anticaking]). Contains: wheat.*
Nutrition (per 2.5 ounces): 250 calories, 3g fat, 49g carbs, 2g fiber, 1g sugars, 8g protein.*
Creamy (wheat-based)
To be clear, their “creamy” flavor isn’t really “mac” and “cheese.” It’s in Annie’s vegan mac and cheese product line, but it’s made with pasta shells and the sweet potato and pumpkin sauce doesn’t boast cheesy flavors.
Nutrition (per 2.5 ounces): 210 calories, .5g fat, 45g carbs, 2g fiber, 1g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 7g protein.*
Gluten-Free Cheddar Flavor
This product used to be made with their “creamy” sauce, but it was changed to the cheddar packet a few years ago.
Nutrition (per 2.2 ounces): 230 calories, 2.5g fat, 46g carbs, <1g fiber, <1g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 4g protein.*

tastes real
most real-tasting vegan mac i’ve tried. so good.
The Creamy isn't Cheesy, but it is good
I’ve only tried the “Creamy” variety, which looks like mac and cheese, but has a completely different flavor. The sauce is rich and pumpkin-y, but not overpowering. We thought it was quite good in its own right and a great back drop for flavorful add-ins. I did think it needed just a pinch more salt (and we did use salted buttery spread to prepare it). The flavor just needed a smidgen more oomph.

The box says made on equipment shared with milk, soy, etc. products. Would note that caution. Almost purchased it, but my daughter’s dairy allergy is bad enough, shared equipment has sent us to the doctor….
