The catch

Sodium runs 220mg per 1 oz serving, roughly 10 percent of a day, and the four serving bag makes it easy to eat two or three ounces at once. (source)

The honest take

Hippeas puffs are a genuinely lighter swap for classic cheese puffs, giving you 3g of plant protein and 2g of fiber for 100 calories per 1 oz serving with 0g added sugar. The base is chickpea and rice flour rather than corn, so it eats like a real crunchy snack while staying vegan and gluten free. The honest reservation is sodium at 220mg per ounce, and because a bag holds about four servings it is easy to clear a big chunk of your afternoon salt budget without noticing. Sunflower oil and a little maltodextrin keep this squarely in the processed snack category, so reach for it as a better puff, not a health food.

Who it's for

Vegan and gluten free snackers who want a crunchy cheesy puff with a bit of protein and fiber instead of an empty corn puff.

✕ Skip it if

You are watching sodium closely or you avoid seed oils, since sunflower oil is the main fat here.
