I LOVE these! They are very similar in texture to a cheese puff but even crunchier. But not overly crunchy like Moon Cheese is. The flavor is amazing, doesn’t taste “diet” at all. It’s measured by weight but my first package had 27 nice sized puffs which makes it 3.3 calories per puff. Amazing for anyone on a diet especially keto. Will definitely be buying more.

I'm on a low carb diet, but I need chips in my life. Nuts work just fine, but sometimes you need that crunchy, salty, delicious bite of a chip. I bought these based on other recommendations but didn't have a lot of hope because of other snacks I have tried.
Get these.
Seriously, the crunch is great, the taste is really good, and there's more in a bag than you suspect. I end up eating just a few here and there throughout the day.
My only negative is there is a bit of an after taste with these that is easily dispelled with a couple drinks of water. Otherwise, if you need chips in your low-carb life, then grab these guys. I'm excited to try some of the other flavors.
Maybe I've just been on a low-carb diet for a long time and that's lowered my expectations for snack foods, but these are DELICIOUS!
The seasoning is assertive and there's a great crunch. I like these better than Quest chips, which I often find bland. Moon Cheese's crunch isn't as satisfying to me as Protein Crisps' crunch, plus Moon Cheese just tastes like cheese. I love cheese and I love the simple ingredients and macros of Moon Cheese, but sometimes on a low-carb diet I get tired of cheese.
The only two issues I have with this product:
1) the price per ounce is quite high, so I can't justify buying this regularly
2) I wish the spice mix didn't have sugar (I don't think it's necessary)
This product doesn't have stellar keto macros because the fat:protein is lopsided. If you are doing keto instead of low carb, then you might want to make a high-fat dip to accompany these. They'll be difficult to dip because they're small, but I think it's needed.
Fair warning, though: these are addictive and one bag (2 grams carb) is very small. You could easily eat 3-4 bags in one sitting. That's expensive snack and the carbs add up quickly. If you can restrain yourself, then go for it. I had a hard time doing that and blew through 3 bags in 20 minutes.
Prior to purchasing this flavor (as well as the strawberry flavor - bought both at the same time), I hadn't thought of using a sweet flavor on this type of food item - typically you think of cheese/savory. As such, I did not really have any preconceived notions - other than they would either be really good or gross (probably would not land in the middle). The cookies and cream flavor was very good. The flavor is slightly muted, but since the protein puff is basically tasteless, that works out fine - ends up being a little more chocolatey than the traditional cookies and cream flavor.
Overall, they taste good and are not like any other low carb snack that I have had thus far. I have really liked every flavor of the shrewd food items that I have tried (sriracha cheddar, pizza, strawberry, and cookies and cream).
One suggestion - the protein puff base would also seem to lend itself to work well with a churro / cinnamon flavor. Just a thought in case the manufacturer is on the lookout for new flavors.
I was afraid when I ordered these Cheddar Crisps that they would not live up to the hype. In fact, they have surpassed all expectations. They are heavenly. How fun to be addicted (yup!) to a low cal/low carb healthy snack. The crisps are much smaller (yay!) than one might think from the photo on the package.

All flavors are incredible. So much better than the Quest protein Chips which i just used to tolerate. Perfect no guilt snack. Try it, you will be back for more!
I ordered the variety pack. While we found merits with every flavor, my husband and I definitely preferred some flavors over others. In order, we preferred:
1. Aged Cheddar--these reminded us of the old Planter's Cheeze Balls. Great Crunch & mouth-feel.
2. Pizza--delicious! The pizza flavoring isn't too over-whelming and is a nice change from "cheese"
3. Strawberry--This one surprised us! It reminded us of sugar cereal more than anything--Trix maybe?
4. Siracha & Parmesan ("Croutons")--these are about even. Nothing too special about them. Nothing offensive either. Good, solid, crunchy snacking choice.
5. Chocolate--Not my favorite, but I'd still eat them if I had them around. Taste kind of like a breakfast cereal, but not as good as strawberry.
Disclaimer: Both my husband and I eat low-carb/Keto. I'm sure being in ketosis affects the way these taste. If you also eat low-carb/Keto, I highly recommend these. They're more satisfying (and cheaper) than Moon Cheese. They deliver that "crunch" so many Keto-ers are still looking for. If you don't eat low-carb, I can only assume these taste like cardboard or worse. But, if you don't eat low-carb, I don't know why you would want to eat these.
We also found the size to be perfect. It was large enough to feel satisfying, but small enough that we didn't tire of the flavor--they "novelty" hadn't worn off. I highly recommend these snacks.
I’m always on the quest for a good low carb, moderate protein snack with no added sugar. It’s a challenge. This is my first time trying Protein Crisps. I’ll start with the low lights first... they have a protein aftertaste with each bite and they transition to a somewhat strange texture as you are chewing. But that being said... the cheesy flavor is tasty, they have good crunch and are reminiscent of cheese curls. 2 carbs. Worth a try!
Taking into account that the overall texture of these are more like shredded rice cakes pressed into a ball, these are actually a tasty replacement for carb-heavy snacks. Plus the snack bites are fairly small, so it gives the impression of having more. I tried all of them.
Sriracha Cheddar: This is the least favorite of the savory flavors. There is something more "artificial" tasting in it. It has a nice spice to it with the Sriracha, but overall I most likely won't order this flavor again.
Baked Cheddar: I actually quite liked this one. It's not as cheesy tasting as a "real" cheddar puff, but it does have a good flavor and crunch to it.
Brick oven Pizza: These remind me more of those pizza bites that taste like pizza...but not exactly the same. It does have a bit of a more robust flavor than the savory ones.
Cookies & Cream: I don't really get a Cookies and Cream flavor as much as a dark chocolate puff flavor. I do like it, but it's not super sweet.
Strawberry & Cream: These are pretty sweet, but not overly so. They are probably my favorite of the two sweet varieties.
Parmesan Herb: If these are supposed to be replacement croutons, they are the closest in taste to what they are replacing. There are a lot of herbs and a LOT of garlic flavor. Very crunchy and delicious.
I think these crisps are amazing for what they are: A high protein, low carb, snack on the go. They don't taste perfect, BUT they do taste pretty good, and considering what they are, they taste amazing.
