I'm normally a very healthy yet picky eater. These soy crisp are really delicious. They look like little rice cakes, yet pack the taste of a potato chip. I absolutely love snacking on them and with the serving size being 20 for at about 110 calories, that makes it even better.

I have been eating these for years now and I absolutely love them! They're good with salsa, hummus, or alone. The other Glenny's crisps are just too salty for me, but these are perfect. I will continue to buy cases of these here at Amazon (best price!).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The nutritional information here at Amazon is what is on the bag, but just be aware that it is for ONE SERVING and the 1.3 oz bag contains TWO servings.

I bought a bag of these when I was in NYC on business. I knew I would be working in my room and hungry at night but didn't want to pack away empty calories. While I was out walking I happened upon these chips in a convenience store. The packaging displayed a quote saying "Better than potato chips." I figured what the heck, I'll try em.

Later that night while watching "Seinfeld", I cracked open the bag. I was really happily suprised. Upon my return home, I ordered two cases from Amazon. They are the perfect late night snack if you like to eat something while watching TV. And they are great with dips or dipping into tuna salad or chicken salad.

The packaging doesn't lie...they really are better than chips...and wayyyyy better for you!

I tested most of the cheddar soy chips available online and this one had the best taste and texture. You can't go wrong with these. Also, costs less than a bag of potato chips and is WAY better for you.

Glenny's Low Fat Soy Crisps are a healthy snack and I absolutely love them. Trying to be health conscious and trying to avoid fats, I was looking for snacks that would satisfy both requirements. I stumbled on these snacks at two (2) places: Dean's Natural Foods stores and Whole Foods.

Be careful that you only select the Glenny's that say Low Fat on the label. Why? This is important if you are trying to cut fat out of your diet as well as calories. There are no saturated fats nor any trans fats nor any cholesterol in the low fat Glennys. There is only one gram of fat per serving. And the calorie count is extremely low (only 70 calories per serving) versus for the regular Glennys over 110 to 120 calories per serving.

The taste is great and for those who need a crunchy snack sometime during the day; this is a healthy alternative to potato chips or pop corn. Two small servings which would only be 140 calories and 0 saturated fat would provide you with 10 grams of soy protein, 25 mg of soy isoflavones, 3 grams of dietary fiber and more soy protein than tofu or soy milk.

Cosmopolitan Magazine quotes: "Even better than potato chips. Delicious."

Additionally, each serving gives you 4% of your daily calcium requirement and 8% of your iron percent daily value. Each serving would be about 10 chips approximately. I open the 3 ounce bag and separate the contents into ziplock bags (10 chips apiece) so that I can regulate the calories and the amount of fat in my snacks.

What is nice for those who are afraid to buy a 3 ounce bag of anything. Even if you succumbed to eating the entire 3 ounce bag: all would not be lost. You would be getting 20 grams of protein, 50 mg or soy isoflavones, 6 grams of dietary fiber and 300 calories total in the whole bag. The taste is great whether you purchase the low fat apple cinnamon, the white cheddar or the lightly salted, the low fat barbeque...all have a great taste.

I would highly recommend this snack..great taste.

Sample a bag. I think you will be a fan after that.

There are 1.3 ounce bags (which are being offered on Amazon) which are even better than the 3 ounce (85 gram) bags (for those who are concerned about their will power) that I have been purchasing. You have the bags already divided into individual snack portions with 24 bags in the pack. Terrific alternative. This particular selection is for a six pack of the 3.5 ounce bags which I have been purchasing at my local natural food stores.

Note: The White Cheddar is my personal favorite of the lightly salted, barbeque and white cheddar LOW FAT selections. Although all are crunchy and good tasting. MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE WHITE CHEDDAR VARIETY THAT STATES LOW FAT ON THE BAG COVER (THIS SELECTION IS 70 CALORIES PER SERVING VERSUS 110!)..GLENNY'S HAS TWO DIFFERENT WHITE CHEDDAR PRODUCT OFFERINGS..ALWAYS CHECK THE CALORIES AND THE PER SERVING NUTRITIONAL VALUES.

I have tried different varieties of Glenny's soy crips and didn't like many of them. I love the onion, garlic ones! They aren't too salty, like so many snacks are, and aren't too sweet, which is another problem with many snacks. The bag size is the perfect size for a tv snack. I have tried the larger sized bag and ended up eating too many of the crisps that way! This size is a good way to limit the amount you eat. They are delicious and very satisfying when you start getting those evening hunger pangs!

A great healthy snack chip. A cross between a mini rice cake and a potato chip in texture, with just the right amount of salt to make them the perfect potato chip substitute. I was a potato chip addict until I discovered these. Now I can walk right past the potato chips. With 10 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, and only 140 calories per bag they are a home run. A bag of these and an apple make the perfect breakfast on the run.

Amazon seems to be out, but find these chips. If you crave potato chips, but agonize over the fat and calories, this is for you. If you just like a healthy snack, this is for you. Crunchy flavor with just enough salt. Soy delicious. :)

By far, Glenny has the best soy crisp for flavor and nutritional value. Although the serving size is for 1/2 the bag, the entire bag is only 140 calories and more protein (10g) more than any other brand of soy crisp. Salt and pepper is my favorite. Great for dipping or just snacking.

These are my favorite of all Glenny's Soy Crisps. Almost coated with black pepper, they shock my mouth. They're slightly salty too. Rachel Ray, the cute chef with tv show, said she loves them too -- I'm guessing she cooks with them. Since then they seem not to be available on Amazon much anymore, I go directly to Glenny's and pay a steeper price for the pleasure of them. Using the coupons advertised at the bottom of the page helps. Glenny's is at http://www.glennys.com/low-fat-soy-crisps-c-21.html.
