Pea Protein Puffs

Puffed Pea Protein Savoury Snack.
$6.50 (NZD)

Puffed Pea Protein Snack

NZ Protein's Pea Puffs are a plant based snack that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Available in three great tasting flavours, they make a better snack and even go well in school lunches.

Each pack is a big 75 grams and has three servings, with around 11 grams of protein per serve.

The puffs are naturally soft in texture and coated in seasoning.

Pea protein is an excellent source of protein because it contains all essential amino acids and is easily digestible. It's made from yellow golden peas and is vegan friendly and hypoallergenic.

This product also contains MCT oil. Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are high quality fats that are more easily and rapidly digested than other types of fats. They're rapidly absorbed and are used as quick energy for the body, rather than for storage*.

Soft texture, the odd crunchy one. Pretty happy for a plant protein snack

Delicious!I got the chicken flavour, and I could've eaten the whole bag at once

Personally wasn't a fan. A few were crunchy a few were soft and I wasn't keen on the texture. Will stick to the other great products from this company :)

I love the pea protein snacks, not crispy, but super tasty... they remind me of soft pork crackle snacks

I love these, even though I find they are like a cross between eating popcorn and thin cardboard!
They are so light you get a lot for a 20g portion, ideal study snack. Flavour is not overpowering too which is my thing.

Soooooo good! Great substitute for popcorn, the flavour isn't super strong but it is tasty and feels like a guilt-free snack.

The flavor is really good and it is pretty satiating. Low stars because the bag I received was 60% crumbs, ended up sprinkling it on salads lol, which was nice but not the reason I bought.

I really like the taste of these. The first bite I didn't know what to make of it. The texture is a little like popcorn or a bit softer. But after eating a couple of them they really grew on me and I ate the whole pack. I've tried both flavours and chicken is my go to and they're made from pea protein, awesome.

Really chewy and a bit soggy with unpleasant taste. Not a great snack

These are tasty but not quite crunchy enough, so I put them in the oven to crisp up for a few minutes & had them with some low carb dip, yum :)

Fast shipping and great concept but not a fan didn’t like the texture and taste

While the flavour was nice (BBQ) I didn't enjoy the texture as they were a bit soft and turned into a weird texture after chewing. Didn't finish the bag so wouldn't get these again.

Tried the BBQ and really happy, definitely something I could snack on long term as it's more savory than sweet, REALLY want to try to salt and vin

Love this product! So awesome to have a salty snack option that is so low in carbs and high in protein. I've been adding these to salads to give extra texture and flavour. Can't wait for the salt and vinegar flavour to be in stock!

I was a bit disappointed in this product... texture was soft and spongy rather than crisp so didn't work for me as a replacement snack for potato chips. Flavour was good though. NZPROTEIN REPLY: they're more like popcorn in texture as opposed to potato chips

these are really great! ive been through 2 bags now and just put an order in for 3 more lol. They are in different packaging to whats pictured but there was a sticker on the pack that said "temporary packaging". 5*

YUM THESE ARE GREAT!!!!!
Review by: Anonymous on Fri, Nov 13, 2020 11:31 AM
Omg these are soo good, I ate the whole pack. I like the BBQ but my partner likes the chicken ones.

They're just like chips. They're crunchy, yum and the pack is bigger than I thought. It's like one of those big backs of chips from the supermarket.
