Schoolyard Snacks Fiery Hot Protein Puffs, Keto Snacks, 12-Pack

You're looking at a perfectly portioned snack at 100 calories, 13g of protein and only 1g of carb. If you're on keto or just dieting in general, this is a great substitute for the real thing. The crunch is definitely there and the flavor's not bad compared to the original counterpart it's trying to simulate. Since it IS on the healthier side, you can definitely taste that, but doesn't compromise the overall satisfaction for satiating that craving while being good. Priced per bag, it's a little on the more expensive side, but whoever said dieting was cheap? If you spent the money to gain the weight, you can spend the money to lose it--is how I justify it.

I'm diabetic, so when I saw an ad for Schoolyard Snacks on social media, I was overjoyed. I've learned to temper my expectations when it comes to "diabetic-friendly" snack substitutes.. I know nothing will ever truly take the place of my beloved Flamin' Hot Cheetos puffs, but I was excited to give these Keto cheese puffs a try regardless. First of all, I received the wrong flavor. I ordered Fiery Hot and got BBQ instead. I was a bit disappointed, especially since these snacks are so pricey, but it's not the end of the world. I popped one of the cheese puffs into my mouth, hoping for a texture/crunch similar to the corn puffs I've been dearly missing all this time. Instead, I felt like I was eating a pumice stone. And it wasn't even a BBQ flavored pumice stone :( I'm not sure how to describe the flavor. But I found it to be very off-putting. Sweet.. Vaguely metallic? The cheese puffs themselves left a nasty aftertaste as well - almost like dirty socks. Even more alarming was when I gave the bag a sniff and realized it smelled like feet. After trying a second cheese puff, I made up my mind - there was no way I was going to be able to finish the bag. Thankfully my husband is a living garbage can and will eat anything I give to him. Still, it took him over an hour to finish the bag I opened because, as he put it: "they're so bad they're hard to eat." I wish I'd been able to order some samples of these snacks before dropping so much money on a big box of them! I can't speak for the rest of Schoolyard Snack's products as I haven't tried them. I applaud the company for trying to come up with low-carb alternatives to our favorite junk foods, but these missed the mark for me. I think I'll stick to Highkey's cheddar almond flour crackers and Whisps when I need to satisfy my cravings for something crunchy and savory. Bottom line: this is just my opinion - your mileage may vary! I'm not trying to discourage anyone from buying these if they're curious. You might enjoy them! I personally didn't. I don't like leaving negative feedback on a product, but if this review saves another person from spending $30+ on a box of snacks they're unable to eat, it'll have been worth it.

I really enjoyed these snacks. They are crunchier than a cheeto but I suppose that helps make them filling and the spice is perfect because you know it's real seasonings and not processed flavorings. If you are following a keto diet, these snacks will definitely fill you up even though < 1 oz. sounds small. A perfect snack if you find yourself hungry between meals! My hand size is about 5-5 1/2 inches, wrist to fingertip, and the bag nearly covers my whole hand.

The flavor had a little kick - they are pretty good as an option for a keto snack.

Hot cheetos are the only food that will break my diet. So finding a healthy, low calorie guilt free snack like hot cheetos was essential. I ordered every single healthy cheeto copy cat I could find, and I can say by far schoolyard snack is the worst. It tastes like dirt. The texture is awful, its like well... dirt somewhere between styrofoam and dirt. It has absolutely no appeal in both taste or texture. They are just a keto chip with chili powder on it. NO FLAVOR! They are boring. I don't even think they are worth the savings in calories. If you put hot sauce on them they cant even be redeemed because the texture is so gross. I wanted to like them. I was most excited for these because they looked the most appetizing out of all of the choices. They are not in fact every single other health chip I got is gone these are still lingering in the pantry 3 months later. FYI hot cheeto lovers: Peatos are the closest flavorwise, and the texture is great. They are still not hot cheetos but If you are just looking for a healthier alternative try that one first. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I love hot Cheetos but as I am trying to lose weight and build muscle, I was looking for a healthy alternative so I thought I would give this a shot. It was nasty. I expected it to be different taste from hot Cheetos but the taste was awful, the texture was weird, and there was a weird film in my mouth after. I needed to brush my teeth immediately after. One of my friends said it wasn't good but it wasn't that bad either so I gave the product to them.

I love how spicy the chips are, if your expectations are hot cheetos, I will let you know that nope they are nothing like hot cheetos. These have there own taste and texture. The spices for the hot puff are BOMB and the texture is similar to regular chips except that it's cheese your biting into. I love my cheeses! So for me being on keto for over a year and being able to finally have a good snack to run to is the best.

The first time I tried these I noticed they tasted a little different than a real hot cheetoh but they are really good. I feel like I’m cheating when I eat these. They are a little expensive but everything Keto approved is. I would definitely recommend.
