If you’ve been eyeing those high-protein pastas but wincing at the price tags, Brami just became your new best friend at Costco. This lupini bean-based pasta is delivering serious protein numbers (21g per serving) without the usual premium pasta sticker shock.
Brami Protein Pasta is made primarily from lupini beans, which pack way more protein than your standard wheat pasta. We’re talking about a pasta that actually contributes to your protein goals instead of just being a carb vehicle for your sauce. The texture holds up well to cooking, though it does have a slightly different mouthfeel than traditional pasta—not bad, just different.
Here’s the real real: lupini bean pasta has a mild, slightly earthy flavor that’s noticeable if you’re eating it plain, but honestly, when have you ever eaten plain pasta? Once you add your favorite sauce, the difference is pretty minimal. The protein payoff makes it worth the minor adjustment period for your taste buds.
