Okay, the name makes these "gems" sound unappetizing and when my daughter recommended I try them, my first response was to say "No thanks!". She was persistent and brought me some to try. On their own, they are dry, and really don't have a taste, but placed on top of yogurt and fruit - delicious! On top of my chia pudding breakfast - delicious! On top of my frozen yogurt with fruit - delicious! Anytime you want a little added crunch that is full of protein and no sugar, these work perfectly. Healthy, easy to add to dishes, and add a crunchy texture.

These are amazing, crunchy things! I use half a serving at night on top of my low fat ice cream or pudding with PB2. They have a great crunch. Would also be great on top of a salad. They don’t have any flavor so you can go sweet or savory or anything else. No fat, good protein, practically no carbs. I don’t eat soy protein as any other supplement so I feel like this is a perfect addition to my high protein diet.

I really enjoy these puffs and highly recommend them. I mainly eat them at the end of the day when I realize that I haven't met my protein goal for the day and want something light. They are unsweetened so I enjoy them with fresh or dehydrated berries and almond or soy milk. As others have mentioned, they are bland but that's a good thing because it leaves your possibilities limitless (like tofu). I usually mix them with another high protein cereal (like Premier Proteins) and add a touch of monk fruit (stevia, erythritol, etc would work as well). Other reviewers are correct that they are tiny, but who cares when you're getting the amazing benefit of 20g protein per 100 calories in a single ingredient, healthful food? They have no smell, are not bitter and my family has had no upset stomach from them. I've also blended them with another cereal to make vegan rice krispy treats (although you could use marshmallows made from rendered animal parts if you prefer.)

I love making my own cereal from oats, nuts, fruit, and zero calorie sweetener. The only problem I had was that this breakfast wasn't very high in protein, although quite satiating for the calories. I was searching for a solution when I came across these. I have never left a review in my life but I decided I'd write one for these because I love this stuff. Here are some notes if you are considering buying. 1. The macros are awesome. 20 grams of protein per 100 calories makes this easy to fit into whatever your macro goals are. 2. Flavor is fairly neutral and a little earthy. This isn't a pro or a con but might be helpful to know. I prefer this because I can flavor it however I like. Personally I use erythritol to sweeten, and I like adding cinnamon and maple extract to my cereals. 3. Crunchy; similar to puffed rice but takes more time to break down. Doesn't leave any residue feeling in my mouth (like some high protein cereals might). 4. By volume, 25 grams is approximately 2/3 cup.

These puffs are so great! High in protein and shelf stable! I put them on salads, in soups, I even added them to my ice cream so I could add more protein for the day. I put a small amount in a bag in my purse for when I go out to eat, in case I need to add protein to a dish. Since I’m vegan, sometimes the only vegan option on menus is a soup or salad, and these puffs give me the ability to add my own protein to make it a balanced meal. They add a nice crunch, a bit heartier than rice krispies.
