March 02, 2021Reviewer: A customer* I don't mind protein puffs, and love the chocolate coated ones from this company. I've had savory puffs from another company that I also enjoyed. Unfortunately, I have to agree with reviews on the flavor of this (nacho) puff. Weird, too salty, and just not good. I'm tempted to try another flavor but not sure if I should give it another shot.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Nacho Cheese, 0.74 oz

February 25, 2021Reviewer: A customer in Florida* The Sriracha cheddar was fantastic. Big bold flavor. Sour cream and onion was horrific.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Sriracha Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
January 11, 2021Reviewer: Jessica in Ohio* These did not satisfy. Weird texture, weird flavor, super weird mouth-feel and lingering film. These taste like a low calorie protein puff, with very few redeeming qualities, and the powder flavoring isn't enough to save them from tasting like something you've been prescribed to eat, rather than something you'd enjoy.
There are much better alternatives out there for better-for-you savory snacking. Skip these.

July 20, 2020Reviewer: Judy in South Carolina* I really enjoy the Protein Puffs. The savory are my favorite. I didn't care the sweet versions.
I like that they are crunchy and satisfy that salty crunchy craving occasionally.

June 27, 2020Reviewer: A customer in South Carolina* I love these. I have ordered many times and have tried the Baked Cheddar and Brick Oven Pizza but my favorite is the Sriracha Cheddar.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Sriracha Cheddar, 0.74 oz

June 17, 2020Reviewer: BONNY in Maine* I was so excited to try these and when I opened them and tried some and they were ok and then the granny texture was so bad I had to take a drink to get it out of my mouth.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
June 10, 2020Reviewer: A guest* Great cheese flavor, but the crunch and texture are missing the mark big time. Tastes like crumbly cardboard. Couldn’t get past it, even though the flavor was okay.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
June 04, 2020Reviewer: Stefanne in Indiana* These are dry and flavorless. The bag is also very small for the price.
I ate half the bag and threw the rest away. I couldn't force myself to finish them.
-
June 03, 2020Reviewer: Brandy in Utah* I have tried several flavors of Shrewd Food protein puffs and really enjoy them. They have the texture of puffy Cheetos. Brick Oven Pizza is my favorite savory flavor and the Strawberry one is my favorite sweet flavor. Reminds me of Captain Crunch Berries:) I would recommend them however I did not care for the Sriracha Cheddar or Sour Cream and Onion.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Brick Oven Pizza, 0.74 oz

May 05, 2020Reviewer: Chrissy in Florida* The amount of protein, the crunchiness, and the cheesy flavor adds up to a good crunch! Thanks!This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz

January 24, 2020Reviewer: Tina in Arkansas* This review is for the sour cream & onion flavor. I still have a bag of the Brickoven Pizza flavor I haven't tried yet.
Pros: The puffs are very crunchy The mouth-feel is better than some other brands I've tried. Very low in carbs (only 2g) At least they're edible
Cons: Almost no detectable flavor A very small portioned bag, only 0.74 oz

October 14, 2019Reviewer: Britny in Oregon* Cheese flavor is good but the puff is very dry and gritty. Not very enjoyable to eat

July 17, 2019Reviewer: Andrea in Washington* I was looking for something to satisfy my occasional 'Cheeto' cravings and this may do it. The macros are wonderful. The flavor is... distinct; pungent. Crunchy is an understatement when it comes to the texture, the portion sizes are good because if there were any more then the roof of my mouth would be obliterated. All in all they are decent and I may order again or try other flavors in the future.
-
June 29, 2019Reviewer: Tanya in Florida* I don't usually order an item before there are a bunch of reviews, but I appreciate when you can try one bag of an item instead of buying a whole case with your fingers crossed.
I thought these would probably be a knockoff of Moon Cheese, but they're really more like Planters Cheez Balls. The Sriracha Cheddar flavor is tasty (although it's not spicy at all, which was a little disappointing) and I like the texture, and I didn't notice a particularly weird aftertaste -- but maybe I'm just adjusted to low carb snack foods. I'm allergic to wheat, so I love that it's gluten-free.
I wish it was higher fat and lower protein, personally, because I have a harder time hitting my fat macros than protein, but I'd buy more and try other flavors.

May 09, 2019Reviewer: Valerie in Ohio* Brickoven Pizza is Terrific! Same flavor as Pepperoni Pizza "Combos," Same mouth texture and feel as Baked Cheetos. Very satisfying replacement when the junk food at the local convenience store is calling your name!This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Brick Oven Pizza, 0.74 oz
-
April 23, 2019Reviewer: Dawne in California* These are ok. Definitely NOT a good replacement for cheese puffs! These are super crunchy which I didn't mind. The flavor is very mild. I wish they actually tasted like the flavor described on the bag. They are packed with protein so they are filling!This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Sriracha Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
March 24, 2019Reviewer: Shannon in Texas* These are different. When I first start eating them I am amazed and love it but after a little while, they start tasting a bit odd. Not bad tasting but like you suddenly start thinking "this tastes healthy". Ha! If you try to eat "healthy" faux foods then you probably know what I mean. It's not bad and I will likely buy them again though. They are good and I like having something with a crunch.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Sriracha Cheddar, 0.74 oz

December 31, 2018Reviewer: A guest* The baked cheddar protein crisps are amazing! They are the closest things to Planters cheeseballs you'll ever find. They have an almost buttery taste that accompanies the cheddar. No weird protein crisp after taste. I could eat them every day!This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulNovember 23, 2018Reviewer: Tiffani in Tennessee* I had the brickoven pizza flavour and found these to be rather odd-tasting; likely due to the protein powder used to make them. However, I am pleased that Netrition has the availability to purchase a single item rather than a case, so you can try something new without the added expense or potential waste.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Brick Oven Pizza, 0.74 oz

October 10, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I bought one to try it out, and placed an order for several more the same day i tried it. They’re not as fluffy and airy as actual cheese puffs but close enough to where I can enjoy them. It is definitely a great substitute.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz

September 14, 2018Reviewer: Rebecca in Michigan* These are delicious and have a nice pizza taste. They are a little dry, but what chips/puffs aren’t. I already ordered more.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Brickoven Pizza, 0.74 oz
-
September 05, 2018Reviewer: Joel in Wisconsin* Fun little snack for those watching their carbs. The flavor reminds me slightly of pizza flavored Combos. The texture is a bit different, can't quite put my finger on how to describe though.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Brick Oven Pizza, 0.74 oz
-
July 26, 2018Reviewer: Stacey in California* Not bad. Tastes like pizza flavor.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Brick Oven Pizza, 0.74 oz
-
July 20, 2018Reviewer: Anthony in Mississippi* Great initial flavor. Tasted like eating cheese puffs. However, after eating a few, I noticed an aftertaste....more like an afterTEXTURE which was gritty/pulpy. I didn't care for the aftertaste and couldn't finish the bag.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
July 15, 2018Reviewer: Wendy in Pennsylvania* Like the last review, I wanted to like these, but 'YUCK'! The cheese powder is good tasting like regular cheese balls, then the chaulky protein hits you. Soon all you taste is nastiness and you feel like you cant swallow what's in your mouth. So glad I ordered just one bag as I had to throw this one out.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 19, 2018Reviewer: chad in North Carolina* I bought a case of these based off of the really good reviews. I usually do not write reviews, but these, to me, just taste SO BAD, I wanted to warn others. Maybe I am just the weird one, but I just tossed the $30 box. Make sure you buy a single bag first to see if you like them.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
June 16, 2018Reviewer: Wendy in Texas* I bought a single sriracha cheddar flavor to try out and am now back buying an entire box. While these aren't perfect, they make a decent salty, crunchy side to a sandwich wrap for lunch. I'm glad that these are around.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Sriracha Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
June 04, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Texas* Unfortunately, I would not recommend this product as it has an awful aftertaste. I have been eating low carb and high protein products, however, I was slightly displeased with this product. What a bummer!This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Sriracha Cheddar, 0.74 oz
-
May 23, 2018Reviewer: Jonnie K in Washington* If you love Cheetos, but can't have them... these crisps are the next best thing. I've tried all three flavors and there isn't a bad one in the bunch. I couldn't even pick a favorite. The baked cheddar taste remarkably like Cheetos, as do the Sriracha Cheddar but have a bit more of a spicy punch (kinda like the Hot Cheetos). The pizza ones have a flavor all there own...not overly spicy, but equally good. All are deliciously crunchy with plenty of cheesy goodness and no aftertaste. Honestly, at only 90 calories a bag and 2 carbs...wow! For those watching carbs and calories, get ready to snack happy!

May 13, 2018Reviewer: Joyce in Florida* These are very good, will order again.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Brick Oven Pizza, 0.74 oz
-
May 12, 2018Reviewer: Maridyth in Florida* I'm always up for new low carb snacks, especially when they're salty/crunchy! I like that I can order one small bag at a time instead of buying the 16 bag package so I can determine if they're good or not. I ordered one bag of each flavor. So far, I've tried the Sriracha Cheddar and the Brickoven Pizza. Both flavors are good, but my preference is the Brickoven Pizza.
-
May 11, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Illinois* Texture & taste not bad but can get a little chewy. Prefer baked cheese snacks to these.
-
May 04, 2018Reviewer: Sarah in Massachusetts* I'd given up on finding a Cheetos replacement, but these have the flavor very close! Would love to see the price come down a little...maybe if they catch on they way they deserve to.This review is specific to Savory Protein Puffs, Baked Cheddar, 0.74 oz
