 Yummy goodness!Dec 23, 2006

I never thought I'd like these when I first ordered them but gosh they are sooooo yummy... They have a great taste, texture and satisfying crunch! Plus they're high in fiber and protein which is like so kewl
**Update**
Since my original review above, I've ordered on average of 2 cases per month, a few cases I've recieved tasted very stale and deserve a rating of minus 5 stars so beware

I think these are just really really good. They are crisp and a great gluten free snack! They aren't really that spicy but still very tasty.

Yummy, crunchy - and healthy too!Jun 29, 2006
By RDC
I love the Kay's Naturals Protein Chips - what a healthy way to satifsy cravings for crunchy snacks! The Lemon-Herb are my favorite (and most crunchy), but the other flavors are excellent as well. With 10g Protein per serving and reduced carbohydrates, you simply cannot go wrong...

My daughter has celiac and cannot eat gluten or dairy. She can't eat most of the snacks she likes. However, when I bought these, she absoluely loved them, plus they're healthy and inexpensive! It can't get any better than that!

 Tasty, Messy High Protein SnackSep 23, 2011
By P. Scott Pope
"Scott Pope"
As part of a high protein diet, I have conducted a broad search for the most protein-rich foods. It is easy to find cheeses, meat, and protein shakes loaded with protein. It is much more difficult to find flavorful high protein foods that are traditionally carbohydrate rich. Kay's makes a few good snack offerings that meet this requirement, including the Parmesan Cheese protein chips. At a cost of approximately 0.05 dollars per gram of protein, the protein affordability is on par with reasonably priced cheeses and meats but more expensive than protein shakes.
Taste is matter of preference but I can say these snacks are indeed tasty from my perspective. Yet, they don't taste like other mainstream snacks such as Doritos or Cheetos. Hence, you may be inclined to eat them in moderation.
One big downside to this snack is the volume of crumbs created when eating. Oddly, many of the Kay's chips are far messier than mainstream alternatives. So, while Parmesan protein chips may make a nice snack while watching television, expect to eat over a large bowl or table napkin. Otherwise, you will have a mess of crumbs that will find their way into every crevice of your furniture.
High protein foods are typically more expensive than foods rich in carbohydrates or fats. So, I have recorded the nutrition of about 200 foods to find the best value in terms of lowest dollar cost/gram of protein. An excerpt is below. As you can see, the chips are a reasonably good value at 0.05 dollars/gram. A typical strength athlete might need as much as 1 gram/kg of weight daily. This would equate to about 10 dollars of chips per day for a 220 pound (100kg) athlete if eating nothing but Kay's protein chips. While not realistic, it gives consumers an idea of the expense involved. So, if you like the taste and can store a full case, they make a tasty component of your high protein diet at a reasonable cost.
Pros
Taste
