Because our mission is to make healthy snacking easy and accessible for everyone, bite by bite, we are very strict in our judgment before a snack is allowed in our range. In our snack reviews, we like to give insight into our extensive selection process and share our findings.
In this snack review, we put Wholey Moly cookies in the spotlight. Spoiler alert: they are delicious!
Wholey Moly, feed the craving without misbehaving
Wholey Moly was founded by power couple Meenesh and Parul. Their mission? To prove that healthy doesn’t have to mean boring and tasteless.
The idea for their healthy cookie grew out of their own frustration that at the office they only had unhealthy, sugared snacks available that caused sugar spikes and especially the dreaded sugar crash.
With Wholey Moly, they wanted to create a healthy option for that moment when you want something sweet with your cup of tea or coffee. Not just any cookie, but one with many health benefits.
No unpleasant surprises
Wholey Moly cookies contain only natural, unprocessed, and plant-based ingredients and have the lowest possible sugar content compared to traditional snacks in the same category. They contain up to 50% less sugar than similar products.
These cookies contain no refined sugars. In our learning snacks, you can read more about the claims ‘no sugar’, ‘no added sugars’ or ‘no refined sugars’. So you know what to expect from your healthy cookie!
And the good news continues because they are also gluten-free and high in fiber. A cookie with many health benefits, then. But more importantly, they are incredibly tasty.
Featured snacks: Chocolate & Orange, Chocolate & Hazelnut, Pistachio & Lemon
Each Wholey Moly cookie gives you a delightful snack moment without burdening you with unnecessary additives and sugar crashes. They contain 50% less sugar, are dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and high in fiber. And as if that’s not enough, they come in 3 delicious flavors that will make your mouth water:
- The Chocolate & Orange: Chocolate and orange have long been a delicious combo. This cookie takes it a step further and treats you to delightful pieces of chocolate and real orange that add a perfectly balanced sweet touch to your crunchy snack.
- The Chocolate & Hazelnut: This dream combination of hazelnut and chocolate gives you a high Nutella-vibe, but even better (and healthier). A crunchy snack with delightful pieces of chocolate, hazelnut bits, and only 5 grams of sugar.
- The Pistachio & Lemon: A surprisingly unique cookie that combines the fresh taste of real lemon with the earthy, slightly sweet flavor of pistachios. What’s not to like?
Why are Wholey Moly snacks included in the JustBite assortment?
We don’t take it lightly before giving a snack a place in our assortment. There is a strict selection process where we look at the ingredients and composition, but especially the taste. Our selection panel puts every snack through this rigorous test, and we’re happy to tell you why we proudly include Wholey Moly cookies in our snack boxes.
Ingredients
At Wholey Moly, they use only natural and unrefined ingredients, and that’s how we like our snacks!
The cookies contain a lot of cocoa, which has 40 times more antioxidants than, for example, blueberries.
They also contain plenty of nuts, which is great news. Nuts are important and useful foods for you! They may be higher in calories, but they provide your body with essential building blocks like vitamins and minerals. Moreover, they are a good source of healthy fats, proteins, and energy. Nuts keep you feeling full longer and keep your blood sugar wonderfully stable. And they add that delicious crunch and surprising flavor to your cookie!
Wholey Moly cookies also contain oats instead of regular flour. It’s no coincidence that you can reward a horse with a tasty bucket of oats. Your body will also thank you for the oats in your cookie. It is a good, stable energy source and naturally gluten-free! It gives you a feeling of fullness, oats keep your blood sugar stable and maintain your cholesterol levels. And that’s not even mentioning the many important nutrients like magnesium, zinc, vitamin B1, and B5 in oats!
The chicory in Wholey Moly cookies also gives your body that little extra. Chicory is a plant that contains a lot of inulin, a dietary fiber associated with smooth bowel transit and healthy digestion.
In short, Wholey Moly cookies are packed with top ingredients that provide your body with the necessary healthy fuel.
Flavor
Without delicious taste, you won’t get far! And the Wholey Moly cookies do their best to give you a delightful break moment.
They are very similar to a classic cookie, but without the unnecessary junk. Because they contain no leavening agents or baking powder, they have a slightly drier and harder texture and crumble more easily than classic cookies, but they also give you that wonderful crunch. We find these cookies truly top in flavor and we are not alone, as we receive many positive reactions from our customers about this delicious treat.
Is your brain screaming for a cookie and do you want something sweet with your tea? Go for a Wholey Moly cookie from your JustBite snack box and that craving are deliciously nourished without feeling bad afterwards.
Composition
Wholey Moly cookies are balanced snacks that give you a feeling of fullness thanks to the fibers and proteins.
The carbohydrate/fiber ratio is 3 to 10, which is definitely not bad. A bit more fiber would be even better, but because the cookies also contain enough protein and are full of wholesome, natural ingredients, they more than make up for it.
Compared to classic cookies, Wholey Moly snacks contain much more fiber, far less saturated fat, and about half the sugar.
Dietary fibers are an important part of a healthy diet. They provide your body with the necessary building blocks for healthy digestion, help prevent many chronic diseases, and keep you feeling full longer. Proteins are also essential building blocks for your body and help you go longer without hunger.
Handy when your snack already covers a good part of your daily fiber and protein intake! Tasty and healthy!

It's clear that we are big fans of the Wholey Moly range and their mission, right?! It's the ideal healthy snack to give your body the essential building blocks to recover optimally after exercise. Perfect for a craving to satisfy hunger at work without causing a sugar crash afterwards and super convenient to enjoy a healthy snack on the go.
