Quest Protein Chips - Anyone else tried these?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the tip about the Krinkles, I'll have to check them out.

You also might want to consider Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps as another alternative to Krinkles. To me they were very much like eating Andy Cap Fries. The Protein is a little lower at 5grams, but they are low in calories.

Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps - Caesar

I ran across these today at Super Wal-Mart and was in the mood for a snack. I'm glad I picked them up and now wish I had gotten the other flavors to try as well, or at least bought more than 1 bag of the Caesar flavor! :-P

If you are looking for an alternative to potato chips, I can't recommend Snapea Crisps enough. Made from green peas, they have the texture of a Funyun or Andy Capp Hot Fries.

Baked and crunchy, they have a hint of onion and parmesan cheese.

$1.50 per bag / 3.5 servings per bag

1 serving =

22 crisps, coming in at a low 120 calories:

16 grams of carbs

5 grams of Protein

5 grams of fat

I wanted to love them, but they reminded me of these awful boxes of dried scalloped potatoes (old dried potatoes and yucky powdered cheese) my mother used to buy. Bought one of each flavor, and couldn't give them away at work - people tried them, no one liked them.

Not much of a salty snack person, but if I NEEEED something (and sometimes I think we all feel that way), I'm a fan of the Health Wise dill pickle flavored protein krinkles.

I'm with you I love em

I like them. They are good for a crunch. I have not had them again since my surgery. I have a while before I'm allowed to eat them but when i tried them they werent that bad.

I actually really like these. I am pre-op, so I don't know how a sleeve or ouch would handle them, but they were a big part of me losing weight previously on Weight Watchers. Yes, there is a slight whey taste, but what I really taste is the seasoning. They have a very good, light texture. 130 calories, 4 grams of fat, 5 carbs (2 fiber) 1 gram of sugar and 20 grams of Protein.< /strong> I do best bringing snack type food to work like string cheese, fruit, Protein Bars, etc. and these are a good choice for me. I hope I am able to handle them after the surgery once I get to solids, because I imagine it will be hard to get to 60-80 grams of protein without some sort of supplement, and I would like to minimize shakes because...yuck.

Those Snapea crisps... sadly aren't what they appear to be. Don't get me wrong... I loved the crap out of them... but when I saw what they really were... I haven't bought them since.

I decided to add spices to small pieces of cardboard instead. I still have a case in my pantry for some reason...just haven't gotten to throwing them away yet.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
