Smart for Life Soy Protein Puffs from Edamame - High Protein Zero Sugar Soy Protein Isolate Puffs - 20 Grams Protein Snacks - Non-GMO, Gluten-Free - 3 Pound Box - 53 Servings - Soy Puffs

These are amazing, crunchy things! I use half a serving at night on top of my low fat ice cream or pudding with PB2. They have a great crunch. Would also be great on top of a salad. They don’t have any flavor so you can go sweet or savory or anything else. No fat, good protein, practically no carbs. I don’t eat soy protein as any other supplement so I feel like this is a perfect addition to my high protein diet.

I really enjoy these puffs and highly recommend them. I mainly eat them at the end of the day when I realize that I haven't met my protein goal for the day and want something light. They are unsweetened so I enjoy them with fresh or dehydrated berries and almond or soy milk. As others have mentioned, they are bland but that's a good thing because it leaves your possibilities limitless (like tofu). I usually mix them with another high protein cereal (like Premier Proteins) and add a touch of monk fruit (stevia, erythritol, etc would work as well). Other reviewers are correct that they are tiny, but who cares when you're getting the amazing benefit of 20g protein per 100 calories in a single ingredient, healthful food? They have no smell, are not bitter and my family has had no upset stomach from them. I've also blended them with another cereal to make vegan rice krispy treats (although you could use marshmallows made from rendered animal parts if you prefer.)

Pretty flavorless but add a great crunch. Really nice topping for rice bowls or adding into granola/cereal.

These are great high protein low carbs. Great macros! I made these really good bars with dates almond butter vanilla maca powder and all this other healthy stuff and things you want to put in like cinnamon and then added the edamame puffs and put them in the freezer for 10 minutes and then added dark chocolate on top put them in the freezer again and they are delicious

Updated review 2/7/24: These were unavailable for a few months. I didn’t realize how much I rely on them for hitting my protein macro marks every day and had to ration what I had left, and checked every single day for random sellers who would have some. When they came back I bought 8 bags. I didn’t have space to store 8 bags in my kitchen but I made space. Things I still stand by: -they still smell a bit fishy right out of the bag, but not when I’m actually eating them. -still wish there were smaller bags but since I use them so regularly I know I will use up the bag eventually. -their price is the same which kinda sucks cause I wish they were cheaper but also I’m glad they didn’t raise it so kinda neutral Good thing worth updating about, they stayed crisp this time around! They’re fairly neutral in a smoothie or added to protein oats, and I crave that crunch now. Buuuut I did add them to a bowl of cheerios and don’t recommend that, it did end up giving them kind of a sandy texture and made them a bit less tasty. Not in an unpalatable way, but in a “I’d rather just eat this in a smoothie or oats and just fully enjoy my bowl of Cheerios” kind of way. Please keep making these! Seriously helps with my vegan gains OG Review: I mean…. Is there a reason you have to buy a gigantic bag of these? I wish it came in a smaller size, like a small cereal box amount or something. Especially because it smells like cat food, so I wish I didn’t have such a large bag of it throwing out that scent every time I open it. Plus, my airtight containers can’t keep these crisp for a super long period of time. So, smaller size would be amazing. As for the product itself, as I said, smells like cat food. If you can get over that and throw it into something quickly enough without smelling it, it then becomes just a flavorless crunch when folded into smoothies. My fave has been adding to my chocolate protein smoothies because it reminds me of cocoa krispies in cereal milk. Value-wise, I feel it’s a bit pricey. I still don’t know if I’ll buy another bag because it might just be cheaper and easier to just eat some tofu instead of these. So, that’s why I gave it 3 stars. Don’t know if I’ll buy again - don’t hate them, don’t love them, and not cheap enough to shrug and deal with the “cons”…
