Schoolyard Snacks, aka The Cereal School, reinvented the high-carb snacks we love by replacing the not-so-good stuff with high-quality protein and natural sweeteners.
The end result is a low carb, keto cheese puff snack that is also gluten, grain, and sugar-free.

This works out to $1.69 -$2.25 per bag. This is more than your average bag of chips, but these are not your average snack bag.
Schoolyard Snacks removed all the cheap, crappy ingredients and filled these cheese puffs with high-quality ingredients that cost more. Plus, they added a ton of protein which will help you stay full longer. As they say, you get what you pay for!

We were SUPER excited to try Schoolyard Snacks new line of low-carb, keto cheese puffs. These cheesy snacks only have 1g net carb and 14g of protein.
Compare that to regular cheese puffs with 20g of net carbs and 2g of protein and you can see why these sell out over and over again. You have 5 flavors, cheddar cheese, flaming hot, cheddar jalapeno, BBQ, and sour cream, to choose from.
And just like The Cereal School cereal, these tasty snacks are free of gluten, grain, soy, nuts, and GMO’s, with only 100 calories and 2 Weight Watchers points per serving. Snacking never tasted so good! SHOP NOW >>
But how do they taste? We tried the cheddar cheese puffs for this Schoolyard Snacks review. Most cheese puffs are fried, full of artificial flavors and colors and don’t really taste like cheese at all. We’ve all eaten them and some of us have had to cut them out of our diets because they add too many calories or they make us feel bad 10 minutes after we finish a bag (this happens to me!).
The first thing I noticed when digging into the Schoolyard Snacks cheese puffs is the taste. They actually taste like…cheese! I’m not sure how they did it, but they have a wonderful sharp cheddar taste.
They also don’t have a weird aftertaste. And of course, because they tasted so good I quickly finished the whole bag and then waited to feel bad. BUT I DIDN’T! Because all of the not-so-good stuff is removed these cheese puffs don’t make me feel bad, mentally or physically, after eating them.
And finally, they are also baked and not fried. Score! SHOP NOW >>
Wowza! The flaming hot low-carb, keto cheese puffs live up to their name. They are HOT! At least for me, they are very hot and spicy. For my husband, who loves Chalula and Siracha on most things, he thought they were very flavorful and not too hot at all.
We both agree that these pack a punch. We also agree that after eating a bag you feel full longer, unlike most cheese puff snacks, because of all of the protein crammed inside these little spicy, crunchy puffs of fire. SHOP NOW >>
Schoolyard Snacks just released their new keto cheese puff flavor, SOUR CREAM AND ONION! And it is our favorite of the 4!
These crunchy little cheese puffs have a real sour cream taste, not that fake weird sweet sour cream and onion chip taste, the taste of sour cream and onion on a baked potato taste.
And like the other flavors, they are low carb and keto-friendly, with just 1 net carb and 13g of protein in each bag. SHOP NOW >>
This new keto puff flavor is surprising in a good way! The BBQ flavor tastes more like true bbq – smokey, tangy, slightly sweet, and so much better than any bbq potato chip that I’ve tasted.
BBQ is officially tied with Sour Cream & Onion as our favorite flavor, though my husband really likes the Flaming Hot as his top choice. Which one do you like? We recommend ordering a 48 pack with all 4 flavors so you can try them all and compare. SHOP NOW >>
With Jalapeno as an ingredient, you know that these new keto cheese puffs are going to be hot! SHOP NOW >>
New to the Schoolyard Snacks site are gift bundles! These bundles give you the opportunity to try both the Schoolyard Snacks keto cheese puffs and The Cereal School keto cereal in many different flavors and at discounted prices. (Read our The Cereal School cereal reviews for our favorite flavors!)
Several bundles are below. We only wish that we could make our own bundle!
We LOVED the new Schoolyard Snacks keto cheddar cheese puffs! They are packed with a real cheese taste and are super crunchy (and will for sure leave your fingers orange and your mouth on fire). Not to mention, loaded with protein without the gross artificial ingredients that make you feel bad. These are our new go-to salty snacks! We love all of the cheese puff flavors, but our favorite has to be the Sour Cream and Onion!
And while we love these keto snacks, they are more expensive when compared to your regular cheese puffs. But when comparing them to a protein bar the price is more in line with those snacks. We would love to see larger, family-sized bags and also the ability to make our own bundle.
If you are looking for a low carb and/or high protein savory snack, this is it! Quit eating those artificial cheese puffs that we ate as kids and level up your cheese puff game with Schoolyard Snacks. SHOP NOW >>
