Kraft x NotCo Mac & Cheese + Slices Review & Taste Test 

Sorry for the delay, we had tech troubles yesterday :)

Andrew's eyes when he tasted the cheddar grilled cheese 👀 😂😂😂

I'm with Andrew. I'm 50, female, and I definitely hit my hermit phase as soon as I turned 35. Home is where it's at!

As a frequent connoisseur of the channel (pun intended), I can verify this is absolutely the most I've seen him eat at a taste test.

The American slices taste EXACTLY like I remember Kraft singles tasting. LOVE them! The slices are thicker, so the texture is a tad different. Haven't had a chance to taste the provolone flavor or the mac and cheese, but now I'm excited to find them in stores near me!

Who needs friends when you two are on YT? 😂❤

I haven’t tried any of these, but you two are so much fun to watch!!

I am so excited to try these. All the vegan boxed Mac & cheese is subpar (use intended!) in my opinion. Like you, whenever I taste a vegan product that is unusually non-vegan tasting I get scared that they mixed something up. I hope my ShopRite will carry these so I can finally make a GOOD grilled cheese sandwich! Thanks guys! :)

The buttering of the grill cheese is Hilarious! I am a butter one side THEN BUTTER THE OTHER SIDE! 🤣

I loved your video when first tasting the NotMilk, i bought it and loved it! Now I’m super excited to try the NotCheese!

I used to love Velveeta but I think the daiya cheese sauce is an amazing replacement for that.

Your product reviews are the best I've ever watched, I always look forward to them! Based on how often I agree with your reviews on things I've also eaten, I know to trust your judgements. This is making me really, really want to try the slices in a grilled cheese. Speaking of, the way I make them is to drop a little bit of butter in the pan when hot (I love Country Crock's plant butter in stick form) and then move the sandwich up/down/side-to-side so that every surface gets buttered. When ready to flip, I take the sandwich off the pan entirely, drop more butter in, then do the same thing. It's perfect every time and you end up actually using less butter.

Based on your valuable recommendation, we tried the cheese, and now it's our go-to cheese. THANKS MIDF! We're looking forward to your review of the NOT mayo.

I love all of your reviews.

You two are too cute! ❤ I definitely will be looking out for these. Great review!

Love u guys so much! I’m so excited to try these

I definitely love you two, lot's of good laughs watching this video.

You guys are great! Thank you for the info and the laughs ❤😂

I have been looking forward to this one. Thank you all! 🙂

Excited to try those products!Thanks for the video ❣️

Another fun video. Thank you for sharing. I am in the Texas Panhandle, and I haven't seen vegan Kraft products yet. I am a 58 year old female turning 59 in February. My husband is also 58. We are retired and both like staying home. The only time we socialize with others is visiting our adult children and their families. They live 4, 5, and 8 hours away. I am the same way about cheese. It depends on what it is as to what type of cheese I would use. Also, Velveeta is a Kraft product.

I’ve been watching Andrew’s channel for years and this is literally the first time I’ve seen this other channel MIND BLOWN

Chris just got us these last week! I see that they use coconut. I always taste that. I still have to call on the boxed mac and cheese about cross-contamination. Most have cleaning protocols, and we trust certain brands.

You guys crack me up!!! I love your videos.

I think as a gift from relatives and friends, gift cards to vegan restaurants would be a nice gift to someone who is vegan full time.

Thanks for the review. I will totally try these. I am not vegan but my wife and I eat a lot of plant-based foods. I'm always looking for good dairy alternatives.

Great review Video! I love your reviews sooo much! So glad you were able to find the Not co products! Btw….. Andrew’s method of making a grill cheese is Genius! Can we please get a RU-vid Short of Andrew making his grilled cheese please???😂

Velveeta is also made by Kraft 😊

I am not surprised they’re so good. Notco makes amazing products!!! Can’t wait to find them!

I saw another review this week on the cheddar mac and the reviewers hated it. I was shocked! They said the coconut oil powder taste was prominent. I’m so happy you guys loved it. and I really hope I can find it in Cali soon with the slices.

Love this review! I just bought all of the new products minus the white cheddar mac & cheese… I can’t wait to try everything!

I agree, I love their cheese and use it for everything. Thanks for letting me know about the Mac and cheese products.

Hope to find some of these at the store! Thank you guys 🙌🏼

The discussion about having an outward vs inward life AND the grilled cheese strategies and tactics debate were unexpectedly philosophical and incredibly endearing. A little worried about the taste tests because there have been _very divided_ reactions online to the Kraft plant-based mac and cheese . . . Wow, seal of approval from you two! Will look for these products locally. Thanks for posting : )

Wow. This is amazing idea. I will be on the hunt

SUPER excited to find all of these!!!!😃😃😃😃😃

I’m excited to try these for my son!! He is very sensitive to lactose. And more excited for me as I’m transitioning to plant based eating

46, female, BX NYC... Food shopping and going to new vegan spots are my excitements 🤣

The videos have been funnier lately. Looking forward to trying out the slices.

Wow! Thanks for this taste test, guys! This is great news, except I can't find any stores near me that carry these.

Love the sweatshirt!

I tried both Mac & cheese and they taste SOOO good and exactly as I remember! Sooo good, I don’t taste the coconut flavor at all either, can’t wait to try the cheese slices!

I love that hoodie, Believe in God, yes!!!❤ Can't believe Kraft is doing dairy free, I need to try these!

GREAT VIDEO! THANKS GUYS!

i would loveeee vegan velveeta wow i never even thought about that😅 you guys are hilarious but honestly, you guys sold me so much on this. i've watched you guys for a while and i can just tell how much you loved it before even speaking! they need to expand this in shreads, blocks, etc wait...imagine if kraft and notco made parmesan like in those shaker containers...oh my god

Thanks for the review. Vegan cheese has already been hard. I hope to see them in my local stores soon. Also, I wish I could turn up but toddler in the over 40s club. (just wow).

You know it’s good when Andrew’s in a good mood 😂🙌🏾

I'm in Canada , I haven't found the kraft one yet! But as of now my Fav is the new oat cream Daiya with Jalepenos! Oh , I agree with Andrew , i'm 42 and very much a introvert, since my late 30's I would rather chill at home!

This video made me wanna go to the store immediately lol

Haven't seen anyone reviewing the slices. Have seen several reviews of the Mac&Cheese and they were pretty negative - the thing I heard most often was that they were coconut forward. If they show up in our stores, will have to give it a try and see for myself. That gumminess is my main issue with Daiya, although it does melt well. If the Kraft is as good as you say, that would be exciting. So far, I actually prefer my own made from scratch vegan cheese to anything I have bought, not because it necessarily tastes just like dairy cheese, but because it has a lot of flavor and no aftertaste.

😊 definitely a homebody I'd rather be home than anywhere else,,when i was young...different story

NOTco's burger is the best plant based burger i have ever tried better than the regular top two overly popular plant based burger brands and its thick and juicy like an expensive burger spot restaurant

There’s a tiny little aftertaste- but it’s still the best boxed version I’ve had. We don’t eat it often, but it’s nice to have when you get the craving!

I had to order mine on Amazon lol. I have tried the white shells so far. I had to tweak it a little but its definitely something I would buy again ( if I couldnt drive the hour to Target to get Goodles vegan) but typically I make my own.

Omg my bf walked by the room I was in watching this and while you were cracking up he thought it was me laughing and was like haha everything is just so funny all the time omg you’re so cute always laughing! And I was sitting here silent hahaha I guess we have the same laugh lmfao

🤣🤣 This is too funny yep y'all are married and happy we can tell 😀 awesome review!

That mac & cheese was Bussin so good OMG

I think it really depends on if you’re introverted/extroverted, single/married, kids/ childfree. Some people also have midlife crisis at that age and I feel those people go out/stay out more.

The only sliced vegan cheese I buy. Love it.

Think about it. If you are allergic to dairy not just a preference for whatever reason using shared equipment could be a problem. 20:56

Love this video, especially that Andrew actually took big bites! You need to always take one for the team!! 😂 This vegan cheese is surprisingly delicious to eat cold! I actually prefer it this way lol. The texture is like dairy cheese and the American has that Kraft smell! However, when I melted them, they didn't taste exactly like the dairy cheese to me. I do prefer the American if I had to choose, but that's because I cannot find the provolone yet! I bet I would like that one the most. My bf and parents all prefer the Cheddar lol. When it comes to melting it, like on a burger, I still prefer FYH American or Provolone (I haven't found or tried their mozzarella slices). 🤷‍♀️ But eating cold sandwiches, I really like the Kraft American. The only other vegan cheese I could eat cold is FYH Pepper Jack! When cold (or melted), it legit tastes just like dairy pepper jack!! Have you tried thar one? I wish it was available near me, no one sells it anymore so I need to buy it online and pay even more money for a huge shipping charge for perishable items. 😒 Regarding Velveeta, the closest I have tasted to a vegan version is the Daiya Cheddar Style cheese packets. They're even in the aluminum type package like the boxed Velveeta. But, try to find just the boxes of the Daiya cheese packets, not the pasta. That gluten free pasta is gross! Sry gluten free people! If you can only find the boxes with the pasta, make it with real pasta. It makes a huge difference! I also add a tiny bit of olive oil and tiny chopped pieces of broccoli because I loved the Velveeta broccoli Mac and cheese! The Daiya version with real pasta, oil, and chopped broccoli is very close to Velveeta! I'm sure you've tested this one in the past, but try it my way and see what you think! I cannot find the Kraft Mac and cheese yet, at least one store near me better get it! I cannot wait to hear your review on the new Daiya Oat mozzarella shreds! You should try the NotCo chicken patty if you already haven't! Omg they are so good! I haven't liked any plant based chicken patty besides MSF! I've been eating that brand for almost 30 years. The NotCo is the only one who has possibly surpassed them for me! Had them tonight, yum! My bf also agreed that these might be the best ones! Finally, have you tried Good Planet cream cheese? Apparently this is only available at bagel shops or restaurants. Not many people have reviewed this, but every review I've heard or read has said it is the best vegan cream cheese and you cannot tell its vegan. I NEED to find this! Have you tried it?

This dynamic reminds me of my boyfriend and I. But he’s not vegan. Thanks for testing these. I have been curious about the new Kraft singles.

Thanks for this review. I'm especially curious to try the slices. I definitely like the new Daiya ones. I'd be curious to see how the new "simple" Oatly milks are. I'm not sure I quite understand what's so different about them compared to the handful they already had available.

Have you guys tried Wegmans brand vegan American cheese slices yet? They’re out of this world

What store did you buy the products from?

I can't wait to try these, but I haven't seen them in Canada yet. Andrew is WRONG...you butter the outsides of your bread and put the cheese in the middle to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, LOL! Also, Velveeta is made by Kraft and it sounds like JUST Egg has its own facility? Not totally sure though.

Im so jealous! they tested the singles in my area last year and I could.not.find.them! Glad to hear they are tasty! Can i ask what aisle you guys found the singles? by the regular cheese, or the vegan section, etc.?

@MakeItDairyFree I’m so glad Kraft is now making a vegan sliced cheese. I’ll definitely be trying it. Probably won’t be trying the box mac and cheese because I’m allergic to gluten and I don’t wanna take any chances And, I grew up making grilled cheese sandwiches with only the outside, buttered and cooked. But I’m definitely going to try it Andrew’s way the next time I make a grilled cheese sandwich.

How are they cold/unmelted?

Where did you find these?????? also i cook my grilled cheese over Low heat for like 10-15 minutes per side

I would be interested in trying the provolone-style cheese on pizza. Now on my menu for the weekend is tomato basil soup and toasted cheese with one of these.

Thanks. ☮️

A little cooking hint with the original Kraft Mac is instead of using a full half cup of veg milk, use a good scoop of veg sour cream and a splash of milk, It makes it taste IDENTICAL.

When will this be available in Canada? PLeeeasssseeeeeeeee

Enjoyed

I've been looking to see if any of my local stores have stocked either product and just found just the plant based Mac & Cheese at Albertson's - none of the slices. I've been vegan for 6 years so I still have memories of the original (not vegan) version as a child (low income family so mac & cheese showed up often) so I just had to make a box of the original. It is a good boxed mac & cheese, could i make a better version? probably but the memories it brought back? Yeah, those were awesome. Will I make it often, no but it definitely qualifies for me as something special to indulge in every now and then.

Thank you for the review. I am looking forward to trying these products. Have you done a vegan mayo review? I love the NotMayo product. It is the best vegan mayonnaise on the market in my opinion but wandering what you guys think. Have you tried it?

Thanks for your review. Now, if I could just find it…no luck yet.

i've tried the slices and they were okay but i barely remember what real cheese tastes like so i'm really not picky when it comes to vegan cheeses. i miss the miyokos slices and shreds they were my favorite. i don't really eat mac and cheese but im curious and i want to try it but i can't find it anywhere!

I love Andrews top.

Also I would like to know if you have heard of azure standard? It is organic food and you can buy in bulk. But you do not have too. It does not have a membership but a semi truck brings in supplies once a month. And you go help unload truck and pick up your order. They sell a lot of things I feel you could get for vegan and specialty diets. Lots of fresh fruit or even frozen.

Hey kids!!!!❤❤❤

What a sext vegan couple the two of you are. Love your content ❤

I’m a 42 year old woman and I definitely agree that the party is in my house these days. And my homegirls are named Peace and Quiet. 😅

Can’t find the slices or Mac and cheese anywhere in the Bay Area California. Not sprouts, Whole Foods or target! Any suggestions?

I’m 35 year old female and i gotta agree with Andrew on that 😂

what stores do you think would carry these products? I NEED to try these!!

Omg where did you guys purchase it!?

You guys should try Wicked Brand items

What’s the sodium content?

Vegan Cheezwiz! It had to be practically vegan to begin with, it was like plastic but so good!

36. I love the house now. Never would’ve thought.

I never noticed you cut your hair. Looks good

Velveeta is a Kraft product. Unfortunately, we don’t have the new Kraft line available in Canada.

I want this so much in Australia. We have 2 vegan cheese slice brands and they are both cheddar.

Ermuhgah! A vegetarian could side by side these to see how close they are! I’m a vegetarian but I don’t eat eggs or drink milk which kind of defeats the purpose but I could deal with a dairy product if I make it with plant based milk even though it’s got dairy in it if that makes sense. But it could be a fun thing to try side by side while keeping it mostly vegan yet comparing next to the original. I’m babbling lol

Ok did you share where you got it lol ? I NEEEED IT ASAP

Where did yall buy them?

Neeed to find the Mac and cheez in Fla!!!

I tried the cheddar slices, and I think they taste more like American cheese. Those who were fans of American cheese would like them.
