How to Make Boxed Mac and Cheese in Micf

Creamy, convenient, and always delicious—boxed mac and cheese is one those simple pleasures that's just too good to nix from your otherwise stellar diet. But lucky for you (and all of carb- and cheese-loving humanity), more and more brands are starting to clean up their act, leaving no shortage of healthy picks. Even Kraft just replaced artificial ingredients, including food dyes, from its signature mac & cheese dinners in favor of spices like turmeric and annatto.

But which are the absolute cleanest? After scrutinizing countless labels, we've settled on 5 boxed mac and cheeses that make clean comfort food a delicious reality—no matter your dietary restrictions. Check them out, then try one of these 10 ways to dress up boxed mac & cheese.

Horizon Organic Macaroni & Mild Cheddar Cheese

For that classic mac and cheese taste without the crap, this pick from Horizon wins our clean seal of approval. It's made with all organic ingredients, and packs 10 g of protein per serving to help balance out that carb-rich pasta and keep you full. (Can't get enough cheese?
