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!!!

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.

I follow the nutritional snacks circuit pretty closely, and was super excited to try these. I followed them on Instagram for a while, and was waiting until I felt like spending this much money on snacks. Finally went for it (I bought two separate flavors actually), and was suuuuper disappointed. The reviews had been so good that I was expecting these to taste like regular food, not like the typical protein after taste and texture grossness. Unfortunately, I couldn't even finish the first bag of either flavor. I had one handful of each, and only because that's how much I decided to stick in my mouth at once. The taste was mediocre and the texture was awful. I was not a fan AT ALL, and now have a box of wasted food and am out $30. I wish I would've paid attention to the return policy first. I understand not taking back food, but ugh now I don't even know what to do with all of these extras. I don't see anyone wanting to actually eat these. I'd rather count my macros and fit in normal chips like I've been doing all this time anyway.**UPDATE**I added a star based off customer service. After I wrote that review, the company reached out to me and immediately offered me a refund. That in itself made me respect them as a company, but then they offered to send me some samples of other flavors to see if I might like those better. I was shocked when about two days later a giant box of full sized snacks was delivered at my door. I had about three bags of every single flavor. Now, it took me a few days before I opened any, just from how gross I found the first order, but I finally went ahead and tried a few other flavors. To be honest, I still don't like the product (the texture is still off-putting), but I did find the pizza flavor better than the other two I tried. I brought the box to my boyfriend since I wouldn't be eating any of them, and he didn't hate them as much as I did, but he still only ate two bags and then never touched it again. So bottom line, I don't like this product, but I respect the brand for reaching out and trying to better the experience for me. For that reason, I'd give them another shot if they came out with some sort of other style of product, but I don't think I'll ever order any crunchy stuff again.
