Cheese Crisps | High Protein Baked Keto Snack | Made with 100% Real Cheese | Gluten Free | Low Carb Lifestyle | CHEESE & AGED CHEDDAR BLEND, 0.8 Ounces (Pack of 10)

Tasty but hard? I don’t understand the people saying these are too hard, it’s not a piece of fresh cheese…. These are very good and super tasty. I think they’re just right on the savory level. These are great especially if you’re doing keto.

Okay, last month I got on the scale and realized I was pushing 260 pounds. Not bad if you are a linebacker, I guess, but I'm five foot one...in heels. I'm also 61, female, and an emotional binge-eater. None of these are pluses in weight loss. My sons are doing keto and having great success, so I figured I'd go that route. Problem is, I have a job as a freelance editor (working from home) and there might as well be a written requirement for grazing while whipping a manuscript into shape. Other problem...I binge when I'm stressed or emotional. Not like we have anything to be stressed or emotional about these days, eh? So figuring that I'm going to eat a certain amount of junk food no matter what, I look for keto/Atkins-type stuff. Atkins for the candy/cookie type junk (I've already left reviews on a couple of those products), and SOMETHING ELSE for the salty stuff. I settle on this. Why? I stumbled across it while doing a search on "keto snacks." I love cheese; I'm pretty much a cheese-a-holic. So I figure anything with cheese as the only ingredient is worth a try. Okay, what I get is a box a little taller than a big can of Planters mixed nuts, and almost as thick. I'm thinking the box is a little smallish. Then I pull out a package. This is a ten-pack, meaning ten packages with two bars in each package. One package = one serving. The packages are about the length of an iPhone XR or 12, but narrower, maybe an inch and a half wide. They weigh next to nothing--each packet is less than one ounce. All these do not make me smile. Opening the package, I see something like a small, rectangular, hardened rice cake. Two of them. Then I bite into one. The crunch is loud enough to register on a Geiger counter, I'm pretty sure. These suckers are LOUD. It's hard to describe the flavor of the thing. It's definitely cheesy, but not like the mild American cheese most people eat. I'm into the bolder flavors, like Tillamook. "Just the Cheese" is aggressively, militantly, radically cheesy. I mean, it's like you're tasting it even before you eat it, and still tasting it after you eat it. The flavor is really strong. And it's cheese. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. It's just so strong that the first bite can throw you off. The second bite is easier. It's FILLING. You won't want more than one packet of these at a time. This is good. Less than one carb--this is better. High fat (12 grams) and 8 grams of protein. So I'm hooked. I looked at a lot of reviews for this product and it looks like a lot of people hate it. Maybe they don't have the same relationship with cheese that I do. To each his own. To address the last concern, yes, it's pricey. It comes out to between $1.90-2.00 per package. But I figure anything low carb (you can't get much lower than <1), that fills you up on 150 calories, and that tastes like this is a win-win situation. You get ten servings, which will fill you up enough that you're guaranteed not to binge, so you won't eat more than a pack a day. The good thing is that except for the days I fast, I have a snack like this one and that's all I need between meals. I'm not hungry. Heck, I could almost use this as a meal substitute. And I've dropped nine pounds in three weeks. I'm happy.

This is not what a grilled cheese tastes like. This tasted like straight parmigian cheese. The cheddar flavored ones were good though

Buying food from Amazon is risky since you can not return them, especially if you have food allergies. However, items that show the nutrition label and state the ingredients in the description should be trusted to only contain what is listed or shown. These do not say anywhere in the description nor does it appear on any of the photos of the nutrition label that they contain tree nuts and peanuts. For our household this matters. Top allergens should be clearly identified on food items sold from Amazon, specifically because we can not physically look at the label ourselves until it arrives, and once it arrives it can not be returned. It’s a waste of money for us, but could be dangerous to someone who may not read the label as carefully as we do. I can not rate it on taste or smell or texture, because we can not eat them, but I give it 1 star for the lack of important information regarding allergens listed in the ingredients.

We love these cheese crisps! They satisfy that desire for a crunchy and salty snack. Bonus is high protein and gluten free! One of us loves to spread peanut butter on the crisp. I prefer them as is! I also crumble some into salads or as toppings on veggies like an instant gratin to up the protein.
