VARIETY PACK CRUNCH PUFFS

I tried these Crunch Puffs in jalapeno flavor. They are advertised as being made with allergen-friendly and clean ingredients and are a great source of protein. The puffs are the perfect size in my opinion, not too big or too small, and they have a nice texture. They provide a nice, satisfying crunch. The jalapeno flavor really stands out nicely. It's strong but not overpowering. The heat lingers for a bit afterwards. These do leave behind a very slight aftertaste, which I think is typical of higher protein snacks, but it's not too bad and I would definitely like to try these Crunch Puffs in other flavors.

I enjoyed these snacks. These have a satisfying melt in your mouth texture but lacks a bit of the crunch you expect for this type of snack. They have a decent flavor--not overly full but enough to enjoy. The level of spiciness is light for the first few bites. The bite increases the more you eat and by the end of the bag you'll be wanting a glass of water to cool down.The theme of this snack is representative of the east coast rap scene from the 80s and 90s--a time when I enjoyed it as a teenager so it brings a bit of nostalgia before opening the bag to enjoy.The packaging doesn't feel cheap and opening each bag just requires a little effort to rip the perforated edge. There is enough sealed air in the bag to prevent the chips from getting crushed if you put weight on it. And the expiration date is 4 months out so there's plenty of time to enjoy it before it loses it's freshness.

It’s ok,Doesn’t taste like the most amazing thing in the world hut it’s good

I have tried basically every kind of protein snack out there, and this is my number one favorite savory snack. The texture is fantastic - they are kind of like Cheetos but kind of with a slightly softer interior.Fantastic crunchiness, and they have that unique kind of powdery coating that most protein snacks have, I love the texture and taste so much. They are very cheesy tasting, I honestly prefer them to even the non-protein options out there.The bags are about half full, so you don't get a whole ton, but the crunch Puffs are quite large, and one bag of them is a filling snack.I think the calorie content is extremely reasonable, and I like the ingredients.Value-wise they are about what I would expect although I certainly wish they were less. These basically make it much, much easier to stick with a high protein diet.

We ordered the variety pack but sadly got a box of all ranch flavored. I was hoping to try all three flavors, especially because I have one kiddo who doesn’t like ranch!These are crunchy- denser than a cheese puff that they say this is an alternative to. Flavoring wise- they don’t taste like a true ranch flavoring. The onion and garlic powder taste comes through more than ranch flavoring. There is also an aftertaste that I’m still trying to place what it is…it’s just enough to make me not want to finish the snack bag after eating only a few pieces.The listing said they used recycled materials for the bags. Great idea except you have to use scissors to open them because they don’t tear open like other snack bags.Just a note on ingredients: while these are gluten free it does say these are processed in a facility that also processes wheat. Just something to be aware of if you are ultra sensitive to wheat.

These are some pretty okay knockoff cheetohs.The flavor is really very close, they're exceptionally cheesy for having no dairy products. Though, like most things produced with pea protein, it has that dried pea flavor after taste, like wasabi peas minus the wasabi. It's not bad, but it's there, so if you don't like that, you probably won't like these.The pieces are smaller than puffs but larger than crunchy for the most part, and the texture is right between the two. Much less airy and soft compared to puffs but nowhere near as hard as crunchy cheese curls.The packages are TOUGH. They're almost impossible to open 'normally', you pretty much have to either tear the end down the crinkle-cut edge, or use scissors to open them. It's a mild annoyance.They're more than a little spendy too, at $3 a package from the 12 pack at the time of writing, you're getting a single 1oz serving for that price. It essentially comes down to how much the buzzword list is worth to you.

These B-Sides crunch puffs are a nice alternative to traditional puffed snacks. While I wouldn't classify them as "healthy", they do seem better for you than normal puffed snacks like Cheetos.As far as taste goes, they are quite good. I got the cheese flavor. The cheese flavor is nice and bold, and has a hint of butteriness to it. It's almost like the flavor of old-school cheese popcorn at a movie theater. The texture is good as well. It isn't as light and airy as a traditional puffed snack. Instead it has a little more body it, but not too much. I enjoy it and it seems a little more filling/satisfying.As far as healthiness goes, it is a little better than something like Cheetos. But, I wouldn't classify it as health food. Instead, its a slightly healthier alternative. It has a little bit of added protein, which is nice both for hitting macros and satiety, but it is not like they are really high-protein. Calorie-wise, it is certainly better than fried puff snacks/chips, but not by a crazy amount (it is about 40 calories less).Overall though, I do like them as snack. They taste great and do help satisfy cravings in a little healthier way.

The title for this product is a bit confusing because it states "(Cheddar, Ranch, Jalapeno)", but what is sent is 12 bags of the cheddar variety. When I opened the first bag, I was very disappointed to see that it was only a third of the way full. It's disappointing since this is being promoted as a sustainable product, but meanwhile wasting packaging to make the consumer think that there is more in the bag because of the bag's size. I like that they use upscaled ingredients to transform surplus ingredients into protein-packed Crunch Puffs that help reduce food waste at scale. They are gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free. They are denser than typical air-puffed snacks, providing a more serious crunch. The cheddar flavor is light and I would say much lighter than say a Cheetos - no orange fingers here. Overall, a good healthier snack.

I always enjoy a good puff snack, albeit most probably being quite unhealthy. Figured these plant-based, healthier versions were worth a shot, based on them having a cleaner ingredient list, zero saturated fat, 1g fiber and 5g protein. You do get 12 bags, each of which has a good sized snack portion in my opinion.Texture/FlavorThe initial aroma upon opening wasn't very appealing. Kind of a funky, artificial type of scent. They do have the look of a puff snack, but with ridges along the edge. The texture itself is very dense and the flavor is very mild, to the point of these being quite bland -- kind of like chewing on a paperboard/cardboard. Just not very flavorful or appealing to me, but maybe another flavor would prove to be better.Kind of a shame as I really wanted to like these based on the story behind them and how they are made, but the flavor and texture doesn't really do it for me. I guess I gotta stick to the processed stuff for now.

These snacks are delicious and I love that I can get 5G of protein in a delicious, crunchy, snack.
