Bought all flavors
Pizza flavor and mesquite were the best, garlic and parmasean third. Sour cream and onion food not have enough flavor so that one failed.Quality was good. Wish cost was less. Great amount of protein when you need to make your quota for the day.

Good on paper - Tastes & Smells Terrible
I was excited to see this product. I have been trying to find healthier snack options. Saw these protein cheese balls and thought I should give it a shot.The tastes was bad, but I still pushed through. Then hit the after tastes. Which believe it or not was worse. Worst part is the cheese balls stick to your mouth and teeth. So you constantly have this bad taste in your mouth.I ended up leaving the bowl of unfinished protein balls outside. An hour later I come back into the room, the room had the terrible smell of the mystery balls. I would not recommend this flavor.

Great crouton substitute
I love the texture. It is crunchy, not powdery at all.This flavor is good as a crouton, but as a chip it has a strong basil taste, so it may not work for that.I LOVE the nacho cheese as “Cheeto chips” and so do my kids. My favorite flavor by far!

Easy to eat snack with an excellent protein to calorie ratio
I first tried these protein puffs at my girlfriend's place. She tends to collect a bunch of protein, keto, and fiber snacks, testing various products to see what she likes best. I must say that I was surprised at the munch-ability of these puffs. She had the Jalapeno Cheddar (which is her favorite), and it was HOT, but I like spicy foods and the flavor/texture was far better than I anticipated for a protein snack.Now my GF has me hooked on buying protein treats since I am looking to reduce carbs and increase my protein intake for weight loss. I have collected Quest products (cookies, bars, chips), RxBars, One Bars, Eat Me Guilt Free brownies, and so many more, but I think these puffs are going to be a mainstay in my pantry for the forseeable future.Some positives of these snacks...- They have a nice crunch for a whey-based snack. While they don't have the airy/fluffy quality that corn-based cheese puffs have, it doesn't deter from the fact that these have a good texture for a snack that mimics the popular junk food.- The flavors are enjoyable. The Sour Cream & Onion reminds me of Funyuns, the Mesquite Barbecue is similar to most BBQ potato chip flavors, and the Garlic Parmesan, while stinky, is bursting with garlic-y cheesy goodness. I am a fan of intense flavors, and these puffs did not disappoint. The only flavor that I have yet to try is the Nacho Cheese, but I am sure it is tasty.- The portion sizes are surprisingly large for the calorie count. 30g is a lot of puffs and it far more sating than a 45.5g bag of Lays potato chips at about half the calories.- The protein-to-carb ratio is excellent for ADA or high protein diets, but the fat-to-protein ratio doesn't seem like this would be ideal for a Keto diet. There are a lot of other snacks that have a decent protein count with an even higher fat content, such as Highkey Cheese Crunch, Epic Pork Rinds, Whisps, FBomb snacks, and Revol Snax Coconut Bites.- The ingredients are reasonably healthy compared to other high-protein processed snacks. Most of the ingredients listed are whole food type of ingredients, except there is some typical processing ingredients like Dextrin and Maltodextrin (starchy thickening agents), and Silicon Dioxide (silica used for anticaking). The puffs contain sunflower oil which is not the healthiest choice but it constitutes such a small serving of fat that I am willing to overlook it. Chances are if you are worried about these ingredients you are probably eating whole foods anyway, but I digress. For a small snack that I only eat a serving of every so often, it works just fine for me.Negatives...- The main negative here is the price. Sure, protein snacks tend to be more costly than grain snacks, but you can get other protein snacks for a dollar or less an ounce, while these puffs are about $2.50 per 1.05 ounces. Rather than being double the cost of a grain snack, you are looking at more than quadrupling the price. Sure, we don't exactly know the processing that goes into these puffs, and it is no doubt a smaller company, but I feel $20 would be more reasonable. At $2.00 a serving, it would at least be more on par with Quest Chip. Even though cookies/bars tend to be cheaper per ounce, most people eat an entire package, which is about 2oz, which equals out to about the same price. For that reason, I'd give this a 3 out of 5 for "Value for money".- If you don't take your time chewing and slowly enjoying the puffs, they can get stuck in your molars with a sort of thick globby type of consistency. This sounds worse than it is, but since the puffs are made of whey, this is to be expected. Shovel too many in your mouth at once and it is bound to happen (don't ask me how I know...)- They can be addictive!As far as crunchy protein snacks go, these are probably my favorite, with Quest Chips coming in at a close second.

Choose your flavor carefully
These are very hit or miss. I had a free sample of the BBQ flavor, and was so impressed I wanted to take the plunge, but there's no "sample size" to try new flavors. I bought the pizza flavor and was SO disgusted I have to return it. It both tastes and smells strongly of vinegar and basil and nothing else. I know basil is a part of the margherita pizza, but that is the only flavor you get other than vinegar. They should just be called basil balls 😂. That being said, that product itself is a good one. And once I get my refund I'm going to dive back in a try a safer flavor.This is gold for crispy high protein keto snacks. Somebody out there I'm sure loves this potent basil. I found it misleading, but those bbq ones had so much promise I might eventually try all the flavors. And I would've eaten them even if I hadn't liked them if I could stomach the flavor. They've got my business even if I can't stand behind a good review just yet.

Ample portions, but didn't love the taste
We got the Margherita Pizza variety, and ultimately we both really didn't enjoy the taste. It had a unique aftertaste that didn't sit well with me so ultimately we decided to give them away rather than eat them. It is a nice snack if you're on a diet and care less about the taste, and it also makes me wonder if we would have preferred a different flavor but overall disappointed with the taste of this product for the price.

Exceeded Expectations
Here's the bottom line, if you want these to replace your daily Cheeto or Dorito habit you're gonna be very disappointed.On the other hand, if you want these b/c you already eat pretty well but are looking to swap out pretzels or rice cakes or veggie chips with something still healthy but less carby, then you're going to feel like you hit the jackpot when you try these. Way better than Quest protein chips and the rest. Not even in same league.And the portion size for the macros on the label is substantial. We usually cut it in half such that basically 15g / 60cal serving of these gives as much satiety as 28g / 110cal serving of pretzels with a 10x lower carb count if that matters to you yet no loss in crunch.As others have said, the pizza are far and away the most "true" flavor but the others aren't too bad.

No
I thought they were bigger but they are about the size of coco puffs cereal. And the flavor does taste like pizza but it’s just very bland and not seasoned a lot. Quest chips are 100x better, if your wanting healthy and crunchy. These are too expensive and it’s weird eating such small balls that aren’t that tasty. I hate wasting money but can’t make myself eat them
