Quest Nutrition Sour Cream & Onion Protein Chips, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Potato Free, Baked, Pack of 8

First, I want to say something important: if you are not a fan of low-carb food sources such as Atkins or Miracle Noodles -- don't try these. Chances are you won't like them. However, I am very used to low-carb products due to my diabetic parents. So for me, this was a great snack that provided crunch and flavor without all the extra fat and carbs. I'm currently on a Macros diet that calls for high protein, but lower carbs and fat. This snack does the trick of filling me up while also keeping my macros on track. When you first take a bite, the texture is more like a very, very light version of a pita chip. Towards the end, the flavor tends to get a bit bland, but nothing horrible by my standards. Overall, this is a pretty awesome product considering the nutrition facts.

These are honest to god so gross. They have a consistency like styrofoam and the flavor is overwhelming with the aftertaste of vomit. They leave my mouth feeling like I stuck a blowdryer in there for 10 min and I need to chug a whole gallon of water to make it feel a little less cotton-mouthed. I bought a big box to keep in my car as I’m at school literally all day and the only time they taste even a little bit good is if I’m actually starving and have nothing else to eat. They DO however curb your appetite because they taste so horrible that they make you feel sick and not want to eat anything for the rest of the day. The flavor also makes your breath smell like ammonia. Don’t buy unless you want to suffer

Had been looking around for a bit for a healthy snack that I could eat that would satisfy my cravings. I usually ended up buying beef jerky, but the price was/is not that accessible for eating that every day. The Quest chips were a great find! I can have a bag without any worry it would mess up my diet and/or macros, and the fact that they are chips made me happy as it got rid of my bad food cravings (doritos and the like....). The flavor is good, not the best per se, but not as bad as some people have made it seem on other reviews. I kinda like it, but I can see why some people are not fans of the aftertaste. Will def keep on buying tho as they are exactly what I was looking for: protein full snack, with low calories, and low carbs.

Flavor-wise, these are pretty good. Satisfied the urge I had for something salty and crispy without any sort of aftertaste. And, initially, the texture is okay, too. They have a pleasant crisp right off the bat but once you start chewing, they get a little weird. It's really hard to describe. It's not chalky per se, but something about it is reminiscent of chewing on wood chips (I'd guess - I haven't chewed on many wood chips). It almost tastes "dry," if that makes sense. Like a "dry mush." I know that's an oxymoron but I can't think of any way to describe it. It just fell flat. I'll probably finish the box I ordered, albeit slowly, because they ARE tasty, but I'm not sure I'll reorder. Maybe they'll grow on me?

The Quest chips are a filling crunchy (very dry) protein snack, but they are still a highly processed food, even if they are baked. The flavors are somewhat enjoyable, but not delicious (personal opinion). If you look for extra protein, they're fine; but there are many more natural chip options at ~130 calories per snack bag of 28-32g if you just want a crunchy `healthy` savory snack. The combination of protein powder, corn starch and psyllium husks makes this chips very dry and I strongly recommend drinking lots of water when eating these. The chips are very thin, almost paper like thin. I can actually understand why the dryness of these chips reminds some people of cardboard, but I personally don't mind this texture. I do like the option of protein savory snacks since I don't have a sweet tooth and I dislike that almost all protein bars are sweet (some offerings being sickening sweet). Also, compared to the Quest protein bars, I like that they're not overloaded with fiber (which causes me sometimes bloating). I like that the chips are portioned, but they are not a snack that's good on the go. Depending on the bag, more or less chips get crumbled and you need to `scoop` the remains. When I ordered the 8-pack from Amazon, the chips were delivered in a big box, with a good fit (the bags don't move around too much, but aren't squished together). Still, some chips in the bags are broken or crumbled. I tried in time all the Quest chips flavors that were available.I do like that while being savory, the chips are not too salty. For me, the whey flavor is barely noticeable and the aftertaste is minimal. -> Sour Cream & Onion: I somewhat enjoyed this flavor (and I'm a sour cream & onion chips fan), but the sourness is more vinegary to me than sour cream or buttermilk like; the (green) onion flavor is perfectly balanced and there's some tiny green sprinkles that I assume are dried chives. Just don't expect them to taste like regular potato chips. -> Cheddar & Sour Cream: While the flavor is not `sharp Cheddar` like, it's quite cheesy and almost delicious, with just a tiny amount of sourness. It kind of smells cheesy, but in a good way for a cheese fan like me. -> BBQ: These basically taste like anything BBQ flavored, but more leaning towards the taste of spiced ketchup, but more sweet than spicy. This flavor also has a hint of vinegar taste, but I found the overall taste quite enjoyable.

I really wanted to like these but unfortunately that did not happen. I've tried other protein chips before which I liked but gave these a try because of the 21g of protein. Improved Flavor?! What did they taste like before? You start out thinking it's going to be good but once it hits the back of your tongue there nothing. Just a crunchy piece of paper that leaves an after taste as if there were flavor. Thanks but no thanks. I'll go back to the other brand.

I have been doing low carb for a while now and I really miss the crispy crunch sensation. These chips are great! They taste like Lay's BBQ chips. The flavor is absolutely amazing! The texture is different, though. It is like the texture difference between Cocoa Krispies (tender crisp) and... Cocoa Pebbles (a harder crunch). If you understand these texture sensations, you will be well prepared to love these chips! Wish they were cheaper, but maybe they would be too tempting at a lower price point. Lol! I just ordered the Sour Cream and Onion variety through Subscribe and Save. I will find out how they are next month! :-) Oh... some chips were broken in the one bag I have eaten. It shipped in the same box as several other items. Maybe fewer chips would break if there were air pillows or bubble wrap around the chip case. There were whole chips, too. Definitely NOT dust. And, if you remember buying chips in multipacks like snack chips, many of those arrived broken, too. But these are a bit more delicate, though...

This review and rating is for the sour cream and onion flavor Quest Protein Chips. Some of the other flavors I don't care for and would not give them 5 stars, but I realize it's all a personal preference anyway. I love sour cream and onion ANYTHING, so it's no surprise I really like these. I am a chip-aholic, but due to the carbs in chips, I really needed to cut back. I was also trying to increase my protein, so these chips really fit into my nutritional plan well. Only 5 carbs in the entire bag and 20grams of protein. I tried to eat them only 1-2 times per week as a treat, or when I really needed some crunch. They do NOT taste just like regular potato chips, so make sure your expectations are such. But really they are quite good. Before you order an entire 6-pack, I do suggest you try out a bag first, just in case they are not your thing. Most local health food stores (GNC, Vitamin Shop) sell them in single bags. Once you find the flavor you like, come to Amazon because they are generally cheaper on here to get a 6-pack. I have tried other brands of protein chips, and these Quest Sour Cream & Onion are truly the only kind I can stomach that have low carbs. I've found some other protein chips I can eat, but they typically have 14+ grams of carbs per bag, so the 5 grams in these bags are definitely more appealing.

very tasty

🙂👍🏻

Great taste. Reasonable size of package and portion. Great for my lifestyle.

様々なダイエット法に対応した優秀なおやつ。少し高いけど、アメリカ本土で買ってもおそらく高いので仕方ない。 サワークリームをつけると更に美味しい！

Nice flavor. But too expensive for a protein snack .
