Smart for Life - Edamame Protein Puffs - High Zero Sugar Soy Protein Isolate Puffs 3LB - 20 Grams Snacks - Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Vegan - 3 PoundsBox - 53 Servings

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.)

Pretty flavorless but add a great crunch. Really nice topping for rice bowls or adding into granola/cereal.

These are great high protein low carbs. Great macros! I made these really good bars with dates almond butter vanilla maca powder and all this other healthy stuff and things you want to put in like cinnamon and then added the edamame puffs and put them in the freezer for 10 minutes and then added dark chocolate on top put them in the freezer again and they are delicious

It tastes ok, adds crunch and protein to my yogurts and parfaits.

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.

I have a high tolerance for odd health foods and can force myself to like almost anything if it has good stats. But even I would not recommend these. Pros: -Great protein-to-calorie ratio. -They have a nice crunch to them. -They don’t really have much taste, but they don’t taste bad - it’s more of a generic unflavored crunch. Cons: -They upset my stomach. Although admittedly my stomach is sensitive (mostly to sugar alcohols and things of that sort), it’s never been upset by protein puffs in the past. -Despite reading the reviews that said the puffs were tiny, I was surprised by how small they are. Each pellet is smaller than a popcorn kernel. (See photo.) Given the size, it’s misleading to call them “puffs” - they have no puff and can't realistically be eaten as a finger food. -They come in a large bag that’s easy to get crushed. -When you open the bag, you’re hit with a smell that reminds me of dry dog food.
