I will see if I can find these snacks around here, have you seen them in the NC?
Newman’s Own has a protein pretzel, they are good! (not as good as their regular pretzel, but nice too!)
I also like soy chips (whole foods brand), do you like those?
By the way, I have a question about soy for you: I have hypothyroidism and I have read that one should not eat too much soy if one has thyroid problems. Have you studied about this? Do you know how much soy I could consume so it would not be harmful for my condition?
I love tofu, edamame, Kashi Go Lean ceral (with the twigs and soy “pellets”), to name a few… my meals are mostly vegetarian (sometimes I do eat fish or chicken), and I do eat eggs and dairy, so I know I am getting enough protein, but I sometimes make different choices just to not overdo on soy.
Love your blog!

They all sound really good. I think I’d love to bolster my intake of protein, and snackage seems like an easy area to do that

I love the reviews! I am dying to get my hands on Kay’s but I haven’t bucked up to buy them yet. Between the crunch monster comment and the cinnamon sugar Auntie Anne’s pretzels (with cream cheese naturally) I’m thinking I need to purchase some!

I’m like you…until my doctor tells me to stay clear of the soy, I’m going to keep eating it in moderation. It’s a really important protein source for my diet. I’ve asked both my doctor and the girls’ pediatrician for their takes, and they both think it’s a good meat and dairy replacement for our family.

So bring on the protein fortified snacks!!! I haven’t tried Kay’s, but Newman’s Own Protein Pretzels are AWESOME!

I don’t think I’ve ever even noticed protein-fortified snacks before?! Could be they haven’t made it far enough North yet…

The cereal looks the best out of the three, I think.
