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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
