High hopes but these were not super great. Had the mozzarella sticks and the texture was quite chewy with a bit of a strange flavor. Most of them were already split out of the package before even cooking, so it was hard to cook without making a mess. Hopefully they'll continue to iterate and update the recipe because I really wanted to love these.

I tried the Cheddar Style Jalepeno Sticks and loved them.  I have been Gluten free x 12 years - other than accidental exposures:( which have been infrequent.  I am sensitive to the casein, the protein in dairy and limit my dairy intake.  I am, therefore, familiar with vegan options and this one was delicious.  I was pleased that the cheese didn't turn to oil like processed cheeses.  I love the whole food use vs processed parts for this reason.  This Wholly Veggie option was a definite win!  

Love the cauliflower wings and jalapeno poppers, very convenient

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.

I purchased Wholly Veggie's mozzarella sticks with truffle flavor through Thingdrop. The package arrived in the mail in a large cardboard box with a polystyrene cooler inside packed with dry ice and the product itself. I ordered these because it was a good deal, but I actually felt some real eco-guilt when it came. This big box and a foam cooler were sent across the country for me to have a frozen side. 

The box contained 13 small vegan mozz sticks, which I ate as a side with my dinner.  I overcooked them by a minute or two and all the cheese oozed out. They tasted good. I thought the truffle flavor was nice but not overbearing. The included marinara was a good addition. 

I don't normally eat vegan alternative foods, so I took a look at the ingredients and nutritional values. It sort of seems like these are mostly potato and oils with a dusting of cauliflower breading. Compared to regular mozzarella sticks, they have approximately the same amount of calories, but more carbs and fat and 5x less protein. A serving of these is about the same protein as a serving of french fries but with twice as many carbs and 10x as much saturated fat. Unless I'm not understanding the nutritional facts and ingredients, it seems like junk food. 

I agree with some of the reviews on here. The packaging that the box came in seemed a little excessive. I’m sure there are more sustainable ways to send a frozen food item in a smaller box. 

When it comes to the flavor - I thought it was okay. No major complaints there; but the texture of the cheese was something that was less desirable. It is almost the consistency of thick sticky yogurt and not like a mozzarella string cheese like a traditional mozzarella stick. I don’t think I’d purchase this again, but it was interesting testing it out. 

Enjoyed these a lot! Love having more vegan alternatives and they tasted great. Yes the packaging was wasteful but thats the only way they could guarantee it would arrive well, it's not in their normal operations (I hope) as they're stocked in retailers.

The mozzarella sticks do the job when you're having a craving for mozz sticks but you're vegan. The dipping sauce is very tasty too.

The taste was good but don't think I would buy this flavor again. I would try a different flavor though. Texture and crunch was pretty good and went well with a good spaghetti sauce. 

The branding is cool but this is a total miss for me. The products do not taste good at all :(
