Kaizen Fusilli Protein Pasta, 20g Protein, Low Carb (6g Net Carbs), Keto-Friendly, Gluten-Free, Plant-Based Lupini Noodles, High Fiber, 8 Ounce, Pack of 3

Last saturday, I was running late from the gym and needed something fast. These cooked up in about eight minutes, and I tossed them with just some olive oil, red pepper flakes and parmesan. The texture is pleasantly firm and has the satisfying chew you’d want from a good noodle. I also noticed that I didn't get that typical heavy, bloated feeling afterward, likely because of the high fiber and protein. It’s a very practical, reliable staple for anyone who wants to enjoy a big bowl of comfort food while staying on track with their health journey. Having it as a regular part of my rotation has really helped me avoid the temptation of ordering takeout when I'm tired.

I tried this pasta while cutting back on carbs and it was a pleasant surprise. The texture holds up well after cooking and it works nicely with different sauces. It’s also filling because of the protein content. It has been a good alternative when I want pasta without the extra carbs.

If I could give this a zero star I would. That guy that developed it and raves about it on all his videos must have no taste buds. He looks like he is really enjoying his food but this stuff is awful. I really am sad that I wasted $30 on this and can't return it. It is gummy and doesn't have a good flavor and no way takes the place of pasta. Yuck! Don't waste your money!

A little pricy but a great option for high protein low carb option. This cooks completely different than normal pasta, and I highly encourage you to stand at the pot the entire time to stir it so it doesn’t boil over. Cooks up in about 6 minutes, has a similar taste to regular pasta and when mixed with a sauce or other items you can’t really tell the difference. The pasta by itself however has a unique flavor. It’s not bad at all but it is different from regular pasta. If meal prepping, I’d encourage you to only make enough for 1-2 days out. Any longer than that and it tends to “breakdown” and get an almost gritty texture. This is probably one of the better alternatives I’ve tried and easily recommend it as a go. You get a lot of noodles in the box and can easily portion out several helpings worth

This Kaizen pasta comes in very handy if you are on a low carb diet and don't want to be left out on family pasta night. I am glad such a product even exists. But flavor-wise, I really didn't like it -- it has a very dull, almost chalky taste, so it's really only workable with very flavorful sauce. This product is not delicious enough by itself to ever eat with just butter and salt when you are craving carbs! The name of the product -- "Kaizen" -- refers to constant, gradual improvement, so let's hope the company is still busy at work on an updated version with more flavor and less "chalk." To achieve that, I suspect they'll need to add more ingredients, such as chickpea or brown rice flour. The current product uses only one ingredient, and I admire the company for not using filler or chemical ingredients. That's admirable -- but it's not quite adequate in this case. I love the idea and intention and goals for this product, and I will stand by to try a future, hopefully more flavorful "kaizen" protein pasta when they try again!

The Kaizen Low Carb Keto Pasta Fusilli seemed like a promising option for a keto-friendly, low-carb pasta alternative. With 20g of protein, 6g net carbs, and being gluten-free, it aligns well with dietary restrictions for those pursuing a low-carb or keto lifestyle. The plant-based lupin flour gives it a unique texture and flavor that is quite enjoyable compared to other alternatives. However, I’ve been monitoring my metabolism and fat burn levels using Lumen, and this pasta doesn’t appear to support those goals as effectively as expected. Despite being marketed as keto-friendly, it didn’t make a noticeable difference in my fat burn levels, which was disappointing. For those strictly monitoring their macros or aiming for better metabolic outcomes, this might not be the ideal choice. On the positive side, the noodles cook well and hold their shape, making them a good alternative for those simply looking for a low-carb pasta option without focusing heavily on metabolic impact. However, if you’re relying on it to support specific dietary goals, it might not deliver the results you’re looking for.

My husband and I love Italian food but we both decided to cut back on heavy starches to feel better and have more energy for our busy weeks. We didn't want to give up our Friday date night at home so I looked for a high-quality, plant-based noodle that felt a bit more special than a box of cheap grains. I prepared these fusilli with a fresh, bright basil pesto, toasted pine nuts, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. As a new user of this bean pasta, I was so impressed by the savory flavor. It matched the earthy pesto beautifully and had a wonderful bite that made the meal feel very fancy and authentic. We had a lovely, romantic dinner and woke up the next morning feeling light and refreshed instead of sluggish. It is the perfect way to keep our traditions alive while staying on track with our health goals.

Total lifesaver for my weekly meal prep. It holds its texture perfectly in the fridge and tastes delicious with a simple pesto or marinara. I love that I can have a high-protein pasta lunch that keeps me full until dinner.

I love the texture of this pasta! It blends well with any sauce and I like that it has lots of protein and fiber.

La neta esta pasta me sorprendió muchísimo. Yo ya no comía pasta normal de harina porque no me encanta cómo me cae ni el sabor, entonces estuve comprando la de garbanzo en Chedraui… pero la verdad nunca me terminó de convencer. Luego encontré esta y ¡wow! Está buenísima. De verdad sabe súper parecida a la pasta normal, la textura está increíble y no se siente “rara” como otras opciones. Ya se volvió mi favorita sin duda. Si estás buscando una alternativa más ligera pero que sí sepa rica, esta es la buena. Súper recomendada 🙌

I just made this, and it’s INCREDIBLE! I was starving and made 1.5 servings (I could handle the cals today), but I couldn’t finish the bowl. Highly filling, good texture, and I’m excited to try different recipes. It’s expensive, but works with my macros and is fast to whip up on a weeknight. Very happy with this pasta!

I actually follow the maker of this product on Instagram and as someone who’s lived keto for several years was really looking forward to this product being a great replacement for pasta or rice unfortunately, this product is not good. I really really wished it was good. I was so excited, but unfortunately, it’s super gritty consistency very weirdly starchy even though it’s not supposed to be starchy definitely would not purchase again.

Great alternative. Tastes great. Make sure to follow the instructions on the box. I was way over cooking mine in the beginning. The noodles will just fall apart if cooked too long.
