Goodles is adding three new macaroni and cheese flavours to its portfolio: Dreamy Creamy, Thrilled Cheese and Queso Tell Me More.
The brand, known for adding a nutritious twist to classic comfort food, aims to bring fresh takes on nostalgic flavours.
The Deluxe line, launched in August 2024, now includes Queso Tell Me More, inspired by the flavours of Tex-Mex queso. Meanwhile, the original line expands with Dreamy Creamy and Thrilled Cheese.
Dreamy Creamy incorporates a creamy cheddar sauce with cream cheese, a trend that gained popularity on TikTok. Thrilled Cheese captures the flavours of a buttery, golden grilled cheese sandwich in mac and cheese form.
Each serving contains up to 16g of protein, 7g of fibre and 21 nutrients from plants. The products are also low glycemic and Clean Label Purity Award certified.
Jen Zeszut, co-founder and CEO of Goodles, said: "We’re so excited about these three new Goodles flavours because they are mind-blowing, new-to-the-world flavor innovations, but at the same time completely obvious, home-run flavours that are sure to be hits with mac lovers of all ages".
"Our Squeezy Cheese queso-inspired mac and cheese has massive ‘tex appeal’. Our Dreamy Creamy boxes up what has been a TikTok sensation for years and grilled cheese mac and cheese is pure genius.”
Molly Michet, chief product officer at Goodles, added: "The mac and cheese category has been flavour-static for too long. Our Deluxe line expansion with Queso Tell Me More represents our commitment to flavor innovation without compromise. We've captured that perfect queso experience – complete with hints of pepper, tomato and onion – while maintaining our nutrient-rich formula. It's a totally new direction for mac and cheese that proves comfort food can be both exciting and nutrient-packed.”
Dreamy Creamy and Thrilled Cheese retail for $3.99, while Queso Tell Me More is priced at $4.79. They are available via the brand's website, with select flavours launching at Walmart and Target later this month.
