I have been on and off Keto for three years now.  I typically jump on when I start to notice my sugar cravings getting out of control and my energy levels going down.  And I tend to stay on KETO, at least loosely, for about six months at a time.  When I am cutting carbs, I always miss cereal, and of course chips.  Trying new low-carb snacks is one of my favorite passtimes since I am able to get a great list of food that I can enjoy guilt-free.  Schoolyard Snacks have been on my list to try for a while now, so I was excited when they reached out for a review.  Keep reading to see what I thought about their Peanut Butter KETO Cereal and Cheddar Cheese KETO Puffs.

KETO Cereal, Peanut Butter

These individually packaged peanut butter cereals from Schoolyard Snacks are only 100 calories and 1 net carb!  To make it even better, they have 15 grams of protein per serving.   Plus, all of the ingredients were ones that I could read and understand, which is always a good sign.  Based on all of this information, I felt like this cereal could quickly become one of my go-to snacks.

For me, cereal is more than just a breakfast staple.  I frequently find myself grabbing a handful of cereal for a snack.  And that is something I always miss dearly when I revert back to my low-carb life.  I tried my first bag as an afternoon snack (no milk).  It took me a few bites to get used to the texture and the flavor, but after that, I was SOLD.  I couldn’t wait to try a bag for breakfast the next day.  When I tell you I jumped out of bed the next morning, I’m not exaggerating.  I tore open a bag and splashed on some unsweetened coconut milk.

This time around, I didn’t need a few bites to become accustomed to the crunch and taste.  I was immediately in love with this cereal!  Schoolyard Snacks offers a lot of other flavors and eventually, I will get around to trying more.  But for now, this is my favorite KETO cereal and I will stick with the peanut butter flavor.

KETO Puffs, Cheddar Cheese

The nutritional facts for the KETO Puffs were equally impressive.  With only 1 gram of net carbs, 100 calories, and 14 grams of protein.  While I’m not typically reaching for cheddar cheese puffs, I do tend to desire savory snacks now and then.  Therefore, I figured these puffs would be perfect to have on hand when a craving hits.  And again, since they are low in carbs and have no artificial ingredients, I could feel good about eating the whole bag.

Out of all the flavors of puffs that Schoolyard Snacks had to offer, Cheddar was at the bottom of my list.  So I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this snack.  But they turned out to be quite delicious.  The crunch, flavor, and orange fingers reminded me of a snack I love when I’m not on Keto.  You know which snack I’m talking about!  I gave a bag to my 7-year-old son to see what he thought and he loved them just as much as I did.  What a perfect guilt-free treat to add to our pantry.  Now, I need to go and order some bags of the Fiery Hot Puffs…you know, for research purposes.

Overall

I love everything about these two products from Schoolyard Snacks.  The macros fit perfectly into my low-carb lifestyle.  The serving sizes felt like more than enough to curb my hunger.  The flavor and texture satisfied my cravings.  From where I sit, these are the perfect guilt-free snack to have on hand.  I can feel good about eating both products and serving them to my family.  Now I really need to go order the Firey Hot Puffs, so you will have to excuse me.
