Plant-Based Classic Meatballs, Vegan, Frozen Meat Alternative, 12.7 oz.

These are delicious - truly. Cooked in pasta sauce, they are amazingly tasty and the texture is perfect. With spaghetti, basil tomato sauce, cheese and these meatballs, you have a gourmet dinner that does not feel like too much food. These are truly a find. If you like plant based foods, these will make you happy. They taste great - a star is born. Lots of protein.

Have tried other brands but Gardein consistently knows how to spice things. I could serve these to meat-eaters and they wouldn't know the difference. I use these in soup and on pasta and in stir-fry. Very versatile plant-based protein.

If like me you were raised eating meat, and especially meatballs, these are the only meatless balls that taste just like Italian sausage meatballs (a mix of Italian sausage and hamburger). I don't know why Gardein stopped making their Delicious, PERFECT Italian "sausage" slices, but these are the next best thing. They can get pretty tough if you over-cook them, though, so be careful.

Sometimes I forget how delicious these can be. I have been pescatarian for maybe 3 years now, but have always loved a good meatball. Well these are a fine plant-based substitute for a meatball. I have had them pan fried, microwaved, and simmered in marinara sauce. I by far recommend simmering these in a good marinara sauce. They are really delicious with pasta. They might not taste completely like meat based meatballs, but they are a pretty close substitute and incredibly easy to cook. They are highly processed but hey, they are a good source of protein and low in saturated fat and cholesterol unlike their meat based counterparts.. I really recommend these for all the plant-based eaters who miss a good meatball, or even for those who are trying to limit their meat consumption.

These are definitely a good, healthy alternative for real meat balls, and we keep them in stock for spaghetti and meatballs, meatball subs, etc. They are a touch on the spicy side, though not too much at all.

I heard good things about this brand and its vegan products but never got around to actually trying them. However, my friends recently gifted me an air fryer and I figured it was time that I stocked up on frozen foods. It arrived with frozen water bottles in my Amazon Fresh order. I would say there are about 2-3 portions in this bag depending on how much you eat. I heated them up using my air fryer (pre heated for 3 minutes and then put them in there for about 8-10 minutes on 350 degrees). I made sure to turn them over half way through the time. They were nice and crispy on the outside but still soft inside. I ate them with some guacamole salsa and was super impressed. The texture was reminiscent of a real meatball and flavorful especially with an accompanying sauce. If I were drunk and had this as a meatball sub, you could probably fool me. Great source of protein and tasty to eat. I am more inclined to adopt meatless Mondays now using their products. Cannot wait to try their other items!

The taste is alright, but a little on the dry side. Not a fan of the overseasoning, too. If you want the perfect veggie meatball, I would suggest Impossible Meatless meatballs. Perfect texture, taste, and are juicy and slightly fatty; just like they should be.

They taste amazing. You can’t even tell they are meatless. Love the appearance and great product. You get your value for the price.
