Buffalo Mac & Chicken
Buffalo Mac & Chicken: A High-Protein Twist on a Comfort Food Classic
There’s something universally comforting about mac and cheese. The creamy texture, the cheesy pull, the carb-loaded goodness — it’s nostalgic, hearty, and satisfying. But let’s be honest: traditional mac and cheese doesn’t always align with our health goals.
That’s where Buffalo Mac & Chicken steps in. It’s everything you love about the classic, but with a smart, protein-packed upgrade — tender chicken breast, a bold buffalo-style sauce, real cheese, and yes… a dose of hidden vegetables too.
More Than Just a Cheesy Pasta
This version of mac and cheese isn’t just a side dish — it’s a fully balanced meal, designed to nourish and satisfy. We’ve taken care to blend in real, whole ingredients that make a difference:
-
Chicken breast provides lean, complete protein
-
Carrots and onions sneak in natural sweetness and micronutrients
-
Yoghurt, cottage cheese, and cream cheese add creaminess while boosting protein and probiotics
-
Durum wheat macaroni gives that classic pasta bite and lasting energy
It’s indulgent enough to feel like a treat — but behind the scenes, it’s working hard to fuel your day.
A Protein Powerhouse (Without the Shakes)
If you’re aiming to increase your daily protein — whether for muscle recovery, appetite control, or general wellness — this meal hits the mark. Each serve contains over 47 grams of protein, coming from a variety of sources:
-
Chicken breast – lean and high in essential amino acids
-
Dairy proteins – slower-digesting casein from cheese and yoghurt to support muscle repair
-
Wheat pasta – contributes a small amount of plant-based protein
Together, these sources create a balanced amino acid profile — something that’s often missing in many pre-packaged meals.
Yes, There Are Vegetables (You Just Can’t See Them)
If you have picky eaters at home (or you’re just not a fan of eating your greens), this one’s for you. We’ve blended carrots and onions right into the base, so you get the benefit of added fibre, antioxidants, and natural flavour — without it changing the taste or texture you love.
It’s an easy way to get a little more nutrition onto your plate without making it feel like a compromise.
