Wholly Veggie reviews and discussion

These were just okay. I tried the mozzarella sticks and the inside was more gummy than gooey. I likely wouldn’t buy it again.

I love that this brand makes plant-based snacks that are delicious and easy to cook. I love their mozzarella sticks, but my only complaint is that they burst open and glue themselves to the bottom of the pan way too easily.

These little truffle mozz-style sticks could be the tastiest things on earth, and still the insane amount of packaging it apparently takes to ship these snackies to me would make me lose my appetite. It was unjustifiable, especially for me, who can take or leave these based on taste alone, and who doesn't have a problem eating actual vegetables. Personally, I'd rather eat my vegetables without the facade, but my husband, who forgets to eat vegetables, thought they were fun and tasty.

Wholly Veggie is a brand I have been seeing quite often at the supermarket. It is truly awesome to see how many plant-based brands can be found at any grocery store! But this brand seems to be one of the most popular based on just how often I saw it and the scope of their products, so I was excited to try it with a Thingdrop that was debuting their Truffle Mozzarella Style Sticks! Unfortunately, several factors would keep me from buying this product again. The first upsetting thing was getting this huge box in the mail packed with dry ice and more packaging to carry this one box of sticks. Surely there has to be a way to ship a single frozen item in a smaller box filled with dry ice? It just felt very wasteful, and it is why I always buy frozen items in person. Then it came to cooking the mozzarella sticks! Everything went okay, and thankfully most of the sticks did not spill out too much when they were done baking. However, I was not really a fan of the texture or taste. They were super soft, which can be okay normally but they broke apart super easily which is not ideal for this type of food. The cheese of a mozzarella stick is supposed to be stretchy, but here it is basically liquefied. This just did not do it for me either as a mozzarella stick substitute or a baked appetizer in general. Also, I will note I ate the entire box by myself in one go, which was very unusual as usually there is enough in any box full of mozzarella sticks to last me for two meals. The truffle taste was fine and not too overwhelming. I would be interested in trying the regular flavor, but that's because I like to try everything once (and they weren't bad enough that I couldn't finish them). I also was not a fan of the tomato sauce, but rarely do I find a tomato sauce given with mozzarella sticks that is actually good, so I wasn't too surprised.

these definitely needed more time in the air fryer but i followed the 6 @400 min direction on the box. i get it, it’s not a real mozzarella stick but the cheese is so liquidy and messy, there’s no BITE to it. it ended up a gooey mess and it becomes an issue because you’re supposed to dip it into the sauce. i can’t really taste the truffle, but the flavors overall were ok! i don’t crave it persay but this is one of the better vegan options out there for mozzy sticks.

Hoooolyyy 💩, I was planning to share these with my toddler but I took one bite and changed my mind because I am a monster. I felt guilty, gave him one bite, and then he kept begging for more so had to share anyway. These are so good, the vegan cheese is SO creamy. I'll for sure be buying more of these from Target.

I really REALLY wanted to like this but it just did not hit for me. I definitely hope they work on their formulation because I see the potential here but it's just not for me. I do enjoy the idea of plant based gluten free snacks, so I'll keep an eye on this company! Pros: Outside got nice and crispy Decent truffle flavor Cons: Cheese spilled out during cooking (followed the box directions) Texture was...off

I go through phases where I avoid dairy, so I’ve tried my fair share of dairy alternatives. I cooked these Wholly Veggie truffle mozzarella-style sticks in the air fryer per package instructions and definitely had some leakage, but I was already impressed with how much it looked like real cheese. Although truffle is not my favorite flavor, I really enjoyed these. When paired with the included Marinara sauce, they were really enjoyable in terms of taste and texture. The outsides got nice and crisp and the insides were perfectly gooey.

I can't believe it's not cheese! +1 rating for this. I didn't love the wholly veggie, but it sure hit the spot for wanting something gooey, cheesy and deep fried. I used an airfryer, followed the instructions and it was perfect. I didn't really taste the truffle, and felt like it was a little dry but the sauce made it really come together.

It was deelish! The package was very inviting, and the flavor was awesome! I loved the gooeyness of the vegan cheese and how it was crispy on the outside. I popped them in the air fryer for 6 minutes and enjoyed them as a daytime snack.

The overall experience was great! The shipping time was so fast and I loved that it came with marinara for dipping. However, I am not dairy free. I could definitely tell the Mozzarella-style sticks weren't exactly like real cheese, but I wasn't expecting them to be. The flavor was good, but I don't know if I would purchase again unless I went vegan!

These are my new favorite mozzarella sticks, best part they are Vegan! Exceeded expectations, nice crunch on the outside and warm gooey cheese on the inside. Trust me when I say you will not want to share so buy extras!

So I've tried the Cheddar Style Jalapeno sticks and the Truffle flavored sticks and they were both mighty edible.

Mozzarella Style Sticks: WHOLLY VEGGIE Fun packaging, fun food, fun advertising. Lots to love here. The vegan cheese was a little gummy and sticky, but my guy, it's vegan cheese. Which rules. Know what rules more? I looked at the ingredient list and was honestly really surprised. Real stuff. Good stuff. Would recommend.

I love the vegan mozzarella sticks from this brand! They're easy to cook and the taste is delicious! I only give 4 stars though because you don't get very many in a box for the higher price point.

I love trying new vegan and vegetarian products so I was excited for these plant-based "mozzarella" sticks but I just didn't like them. The "cheese" was fine but the cauliflower breading had an off-putting texture and the truffle flavor just didn't taste right. I tried them hot from the oven, then again later after they had cooled a bit, and I just couldn't finish them. I'd be willing to try something else from this company but I can't recommend these truffle-flavored "mozzarella" sticks.

I struggled with the unboxing experience and all the excess waste :/ They were good, but not something I'd buy off the internet, just easier to buy in store

I love the concept, especially for a "healthier" option for my little one! However, I wish I could have selected a non-truffle option to try, as the flavor was a little offputting for a mozzarella stick. The toddler and husband wasn't a fan. I would try another product from the brand though.

I eat dairy but my husband doesn't so I've tried quite a few of the vegan cheese products on the market & these are a favorite. The texture of the cheese is closer to a melty cheddar than mozzarella, but still convincingly cheesy. I think the flavor is great, you just have to be sure to hit the sweet spot in cooking time, so that the cheese is fully melted but not yet leaking out. I will definitely be repurchasing from this brand, in fact, I went to their site to try and place an order for a variety of their products but strangely couldn't check out. Seems like they have some work to do on their website. I did, however, find the "plain" mozzarella sticks at my local Wegmans, so it was nice to be able to snag a box locally. I'm looking forward to trying more of their options, like the meal kits.

This is a tough review for me to write but unfortunately this was a miss for me! I shared with my family and no one really liked them either. They smell great but it left a weird aftertaste, and the cheese texture just isn't right- it's kind of goopy and sticks to your mouth. I made this in an air fryer and the cheese was leaking out just after 5 minutes. Also dunno if I missed something, but there were no directions on how to heat up the marinara sauce, so I was kind of confused. I guess if you're vegan if might be fun to try, the packaging is fun and I love the brand's mission but I don't think I'd pick this up again!
