Protein Marinara

Living with Crohn’s disease has its challenges, including finding the right meal ingredients. Forté has provided me with a consistent intake of high protein marinara, often resulting in a full belly yet wanting more of the desirable taste. I would highly recommend giving Forté a try!

Amazing product

As a 2nd generation Sicilian, I honestly didn’t expect much. I was WRONG. Not my Nonna’s sauce, but she would approve of this sauce, I sure do.

I honestly didn’t expect a high-protein pasta sauce to taste this good. It tastes like a premium marinara, not a “protein” product at all. I love that I can get 17g of protein per serving without having to add meat, and the ingredients are a huge plus for me, especially no added sugar or seed oils. It makes an easy pasta dinner feel much more balanced and filling. Definitely keeping this stocked in my pantry.

Recent studies link the zero-calorie sugar substitute erythritol to a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clotting. High amounts can also cause stomach pain, gas, and diarrhea. [1, 2, 3]

Heart and Brain Risks

Blood Clots: Erythritol can make blood platelets more sensitive and sticky, which helps clots form faster.

Cardiovascular Events: Some clinical and lab studies associate high blood levels of erythritol with an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Blood Vessel Stress: Lab tests show it can reduce the ability of brain and blood vessel cells to widen and break down clots. [1, 2, 3]

Stomach and Digestion Issues

Gas and Bloating: Eating too much erythritol can upset your stomach.

Cramping and Diarrhea: Large doses act as a laxative and draw water into your gut. [1]

If you want, tell me:

Are you looking for a sugar substitute for baking or drinks?Do you have any heart health concerns or stomach sensitivities?

I can suggest safer alternatives that might fit your needs.

I have now tried this on two occasions and it is surprisingly good. I had troubles with the delivery and they were quick to respond and remedy problems outside their control. I will continue to support this company and order more.

The only drawback was the amount of garlic used. Wow that was potent! Need to rework the recipe, and use less garlic.

The nutrition and most ingredients are great. I was very much hoping to make this a regular part of my diet. Unfortunately, the inclusion of erythritol has turned me off due to the cooling sensation and overly sweet taste. I would love to try a version eliminating that as just the monkfruit should be sufficient, letting the flavor of the natural ingredients shine.

It’s better than any protein bar or protein pasta I’ve ever had! I love this sauce and make it for dinner several times per week.

Honestly, Forté Protein Marinara surprised me. I expected the added protein to make it taste weird or chalky, but it actually tastes like real marinara sauce. The texture is a little thinner than traditional marinara, but it still coats pasta well and has solid flavor. It’s filling, easy to use, and a convenient way to get extra protein without another shake or chicken breast. Definitely one of the better high-protein products I’ve tried.

Tastes great on pasta and I made a delicious pita pizza with this sauce! I love it!

Used this on a busy weeknight when I didn’t feel like making a whole dinner. Threw it over pasta and vegetables and it kept me full way longer than my usual meal.

I’m usually eating protein bars or shakes because they’re easy, so I liked getting protein through an actual meal for once. Tasted more normal than I expected.

Usually I end up cooking chicken separately to hit my protein goal. This made dinner easier.

After a long day at work this is the perfect meal for me. I feel satiated after eating this and I don't even notice the protein taste.

Best tasting marinara and it supports my macros! I will be making the switch

This sauce tastes delicious. 10/10 would recommend great ingredients.

I don’t usually buy into the high-protein stuff, but this sauce is actually solid. Good flavor, not too sweet, and keeps you full. Tastes like a real marinara sauce, not processed garbage.

Delicious and convenient. I usually have to add a bunch of seasoning to jarred sauce but this one was perfect right out of the jar. It definitely lived up to the hype.

Solid product. It tastes exactly like a high-quality marinara. I appreciate that I can get my protein in without sacrificing the taste of a classic Italian dinner. Keep it up!

Good texture. A lot of "enhanced" foods get the texture wrong, but this is smooth and thick. It sticks to the pasta well and doesn't get watery.

Surprisingly filling. You can tell there is more substance to this than your typical grocery store marinara. It's very satisfying and kept me full for hours.

Very impressed. I was a little skeptical but the flavor is spot on. It has a nice richness to it that you don't usually get with diet-friendly products. Will definitely be ordering more.

Perfect for athletes. My sons are constantly training and we go through a lot of pasta. This sauce is a great way to sneak in extra protein without it feeling like a chore to eat. It tastes great on its own but is also a good base for meatballs.

Finally a sauce that fits my diet. I’m on a strict high-protein plan and this has become my go-to. It makes a quick edamame pasta dish feel much more like a gourmet meal.

The kids actually liked it. I have two teenagers who are very picky about healthy food. I didn't tell them this was protein sauce and they cleared their plates. It’s thick, flavorful, and filling.

A staple for my meal prep. Being able to hit my protein goals without having to eat plain chicken breast every day is a lifesaver. This sauce makes it easy to keep my macros in check while still feeling like I'm eating a normal dinner.

I’ve tried a few high-protein sauces before and they usually have a weird aftertaste or chalky texture. This is actually delicious. I used it with some ground turkey and it was a very satisfying meal.

Tastes better than Raos and has more protein!

Very tasteful and solidified my protein intake for the day. I hate eating stupid meat and this was the best alternative! Was skeptical because its a new company but it turned out great!

Tasty sauce! Very convenient when I don’t want to cook chicken with my pasta and still get protein.

The texture and flavor are incredible. It’s coats pasta perfectly and tastes like a restaurant-quality sauce.
