Protein Crisps friend or foe?

hi all,

I have happened onto Protein Crisps a few times while searching for protein products. Has anyone used them?

Thank you

What does the package say?  That ought to tell you if they are a good item for a DS lifestyle.

what is a crisp? are these like bars or cookies? 

Oh Sorry! I get my DS in 24 days and I am nervous so I have been reading trying to keep my mind busy. It's little crisps that you can make stuff from it.

They have youtube videos to make recipes. I saw a very poorly covered model make rice crispie treats w them. I was not impressed w the nut values nor the advertising. lol.

 Whey protein shakes are nasty enough, so I'm guessing little pellets of whey are equally nasty.  I would skip them in favor of just adding more cheese or meat to a recipe to boost protein!

I have a jar of these that I bought, oh, maybe a year and a half ago. I've never used them. I can't imagine making something like rice crispy treats because, umm, you still need a ton of sugar (marshmallows). For other recipes, I have no use for crisps when I can just add some protein powder.

The shop in my surgeon's clinic carries Ranch & BBQ flavored protein crisps, but they're more like potato chips. My daughter thinks they taste good, however I really only like them with hummus.
