Shrewd Food Protein Puffs - High Protein, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Health Conscious Snacks, Keto Snacks, Non GMO, Peanut Free, Made with Real Cheese - Baked Cheddar, 11.1 Oz Family Size (Pack of 1)

Protein snacks can be very hit-or-miss, but these pizza-flavored puffs taste great, and the texture is just like regular, non-protein cheese puffs. The macros are really solid too. Will definitely be purchasing these again, glad I didn’t read just the negative reviews.

I purchased these on a recommendation by a lady in a group that I am part of. I was excited and optimistic about getting them as a low carb snack for my son who is a Type 1 diabetic. When they arrived I was headed out the door so I took one (small) package with me. In the car on our way somewhere, I ripped them open and it looked like it would be tasty. Didn't smell great but... I put one in my mouth and instantly regretted it. It tasted awful. Not just 'hey this isn't actually a cheetos cheese puff" but in a "holy hell what did I just put in my mouth". I made a terrible face and spit it out. I made my husband try one and he had the same reaction. I can't even describe the taste. Like foam insulation rolled in cheese dust and dirt. Really bad. My son, who also has autism and is nonverbal as well as T1, is known for his willingness to eat just about anything snacky so I figured he'd eat them up and then I just wouldn't buy them again. Well I gave him the package and he put one in his mouth and then shoved the package back at me while shaking his head "no" quite violently. The dog also spit it out.So I wanted to like them, wanted him to like them but nope.

Got the sour cream & onion, it tastes like sour cream and onion. Not as sweet or salty as you might find a normal snack though. The texture is much like eating Styrofoam balls as others noted. It is low carb and high protein, w/o any sugar alcohols or stevia etc. But I don't think I am going to order more.

This snack is very versatile. You can eat it by itself, crush it on salad or as a breading for chicken. We love it!! 1 star off because the delivery isn't always the most dependable, but that has nothing to do with the product. However, when 30 bags are advertised, we should not receive 8. That has happened twice.

OK, so I just opened another bag for my afternoon snack. One thing I look for is a snack under or around 100 cal for my 2pm snack. Does not have to be crunchy, but I love crunchy at times and was one reason I ordered your product. The aroma when I open the bag is inviting for sure. And since I limit my snacks I try to eat slow. Which is harder to do with these :). But I find unlike with chips or pretzels I do not crave more snacks afterwards as there is very low carbs so my blood sugar does not change. I took one and placed in my mouth, flavor very good, I love pizza anyway, this is the brickoven pizza the only one I tried so far. The texture and crunch was the next thing I wanted to pay attention too. Crunch is there, satisfies my crunch needs for sure, the texture unlike cheese curls have a harder or drier feel, but unlike the higher carb higher fat cheese curls these do not have corn in them and lower fat and carbs. Are they too hard? I do not think so at all. I love the fact they have 14 grams of protein per 21g bag and it fits my calories for a snack. I would love to try other flavors and will look to order others. Balance of money and snack quality is my goal. These do cost a tad more then snacks from the vending machine which are mostly 21-36 grams each, but eating less of the fat/carbs and paying a little more is fine with me. But I still shop around. What are your new flavors coming out? And will they remain like these very low carbs and fat with protein as the snack goal?? Thanks again!!!

The Cheese Flavoring is "almost" close to normal cheese puffs. So that isn't the problem. The problem is the texture as your chewing. It isn't airy in the sense of what a normal cheese puff or ball would be like. instead it breaks into crums in your mouth and then feels / seems odd the more you chew. Also the Aftertaste is not that great. The Initial taste is pretty good, but the longer you chew (which you need to due to the texture) the flavor changes and becomes more "stale" and is not that great.You do get a good portion in each bag. So that IS a plus. but the cost per bag is really high.

This stuff is awesome. The bonus is the amount of protein it contains. For a gal that has gone through gastric bypass, this is my go to special snack. It tastes very much like a slice of thin, NY style pizza in the best ways. A staple in my pantry.

The pizza ones are quite tasty, but why is it that when I order “ Shrewd Food Protein Puffs -High Protein, Low-Carb, Gluten-Free, Health Conscious Snacks, Keto Snacks, Non GMO, Soy-Free, Tree Nut Free, Peanut-Free, Never Fried -Brick Oven Pizza, 0.74 Oz (Pack of 30)” I get a single box of eight? It’s happened twice now.

I have purchased this product & flavour repeatedly. I love the flavour & convenience for reaching my protein goals, while consuming low fat & low carb options with this snack.

Does not taste like sour cream and onion anything, and kinda like chewing on sand.

These are just amazingyes not as sweet and tasty as a really bad for you cheese ballbut are just great to curve the craving and gives you something to munch onafter a while you wont miss chips anymore

This is the most repugnant protein-anything I've ever had. The smell was so strong. I was hoping more for a flavour like Pringles pizza where you can taste the sweetness of tomato and the sharpness of cheese. Nope. What basically happened was this when I opened the bag: a whiff of pencil shavings, which I later identified as oregano. It just smelled like pencil shavings. When I bit one, it was extremely chemical and odd, it was supposed to be cheese but it was way too salty and I just smelled pencils. It was a weird juxtaposition and it was much better if I closed my nose to eat. When I chewed it, it wasn't pleasant like a puff, but it did scrape and clean my teeth...I wouldn't buy this again but I would volunteer as a food tester because I can't believe a food tester allowed this to go to market. I've eaten other protein chips and puffs and other things but this was so awful, I'm not sure what I'll do with the rest of them. Maybe turn into breading but I'm scared I'll be eating something like pencil shaving chicken fingers

I know they’re Keto and all but omg they were nasty. They were like a cheesy texture in the mouth which was fine but the taste was horrid. They taste like plain fluffy balls of oil and chemicals. Honestly I feel bad even being this honest about how bad they were.I will try to explain it best I can.... first they’re fluffy like a cheesy, then you taste this old cheese flavour but quickly that turns into a chemical flavour, then they start to melt? And tasted like I had a teaspoon of oil in my mouth, then there was a chemical after taste.
