Twin Peaks Protein Puffs - (Jalapeno Cheddar), Keto Friendly, Low Carb Snack (300g, 21g Protein, 2g Net Carbs, High Protein, Healthy Crunchy Snack)

I first found a bag of these at a Ross discount store and got them thinking for a few bucks and these macros, I'd be foolish not to at least try them. Sooooo glad I did, because these things are life-savers for me. The flavor I got at the discount store was jalapeno cheddar, and it made me want to seek out the rest and try them as well. It's the perfect crunch and doesn't taste like weird whey or stick to your teeth like most low carb stuff does.I bought the six flavor pack. On first try, I liked jalapeno cheddar the best still but also liked parmesan garlic and thought the BBQ and pizza flavors were very accurate. I told myself I'd eat them all even if I didn't love the flavors (they're too expensive not to!) and so far I've fallen in love with parmesan garlic and nacho cheese as well, even though at first taste I wasn't all too impressed. Sour cream and onion smells like urine to me so I got through one bag but can't finish them. The pizza flavor is weirdly strong, so I don't think I'll finish the second bag of that one either. Overall, I like 3 enough to order them again, so I feel the multi-pack did its job well.In short, the macros on these puffs are amazing and they're a great way to scratch the potato chips/snacks itch while getting in a lot of protein. I've had them 1-2x daily for the last 2 weeks and still can't believe how far a single serving goes and how much protein it has. It's helping me hit my goals in a big way.Whoever said there are hard bits in some of the puffs is very correct though. It doesn't bother me, as I just make sure to chew softly when eating these just in case I come across one (maybe 1-2 puffs in a serving will have the hard bits).

I have ate dozens of bags of these at this point and LOVE THEM. Price is a bit steep, but I gotta admit 42 g of protein for 200ish calories is bonkers, makes hitting macros much easier so pretty worth the price. Taste and texture is for the most part fantastic making them a real treat I look forward to. However, that is with one exception. The jalapeño cheddar is just awful and it takes everything I have to choke them down. I would love to just avoid this one god awful flavor but they INSIST on including in every freaking combo pack. Would be five star if they would just add an option to sub this one out.

I was needing an option that was lower in carbs and higher in protein as a snack and this seems to fit the bill. I am definitely a "bored" snack person. When I get bored and I'm just sitting around, I needed something a bit more healthier sitting around the house as well.I came across this option. Yes, as some say, the price is a bit higher but it is the price you pay for a healthier lifestyle. I want the change so I'll make the sacrifice. The taste is really good. No it isn't the same as the "regular ol' cheese puffs" but these aren't the regular ol cheese puffs. These are a healthier option. So they aren't going to have all the added stuff that may have the "flavors". With that though, it is not that bad though. It would turn me away from ordering these more and more.I would say, if you are looking for a healthier snack option, know that healthy may mean it's not going to taste the same. Give these a try. They are really good. I ordered the Nacho Cheese and the Jalapeno flavoring.

Not as tasty like the original cheese puffs but this is a good low carb option high protein option. Kind of pricey but healthier foods are higher in cost. That's ironic because people are expected to be eating healthier foods.

9/2/21 updateSo recently I purchased sour cream and onion and jalapeno cheddar! The sour cream and onion ones taste like Funyuns! I love it. I added a little onion powder to make it taste more onion-y. These also have a slight “wet dog” after taste but the onion powder takes that away completely.The Jalapeno Cheddar is awesome! It’s spicy and has zero weird after taste. Cheesy and jalapeno-y.I didnt end up finishing the nacho cheese ones from my original review and probably wouldnt purchase them again but these 2 flavors are awesome!*****These weren’t supposed to come until tomorrow but I got them a day early! I am so excited about these! These are a total game changer with dieting. I feel like now I’ll be able to actually lose weight because they will allow me to eat less.They don’t taste exactly like cheetos, but close enough. They also are crunchier than cheetos. They have their own unique taste. I got the Nacho Cheese kind and may try the spicier flavor in the future. I’m surprised how good they really are!They are smaller puffs, maybe a little bigger than a dime but that’s not a bad thing. A serving size is a cup so you get a lot for the serving!I am SO happy I accidentally stumbled across these.PS: The only thing negative I noticed about them is that they make your fingers smell like a dirty dog that needs a bath. At least with the Nacho Cheese flavor. They are still good though!

Edible, but that's about it. If you are looking for a high protein snack, this could give you that, but for the price, and the weird taste, its not just great at all. There are such better options for high protein snacks. Only reason to buy these is if your favorite snack is cheese puffs and you want something to get close to that texture. It wont get close enough though IMO.
