If you eat these chips with an accompaniment (such as guacamole, sliced avocado, chili, queso, cheese slices, etc.) they taste pretty much just like nacho cheese Doritos, only with a thinner, lighter, more "crackery" texture. They are still good by themselves, but there is a slight aftertaste. I would not call this health food, as it is obviously a processed food with a long list of ingredients (as is nacho cheese Doritos.) But if you are trying to cut back on carbs and find yourself wrestling with cravings for your old friend Nacho Cheese Doritos, these will hit the spot!

For comparison, according to the Frito- Lay website,
a 1oz (28g) serving of Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos has:
140 calories, 8g fat, 1 g sat fat, 0 trans fat, 210 sodium, 0 cholesterol, 16g carbs, 1g fiber, 0 sugar, 2g protein

According to the back of my Quest Nacho Cheese Tortilla Style Protein Chips, 1 bag (32g) has:
140 cal, 6g fat, 1g sat fat, 0 trans fat, 10mg cholesterol, 340g sodium, 5g carbs, 1g fiber, sugars <1g, 18g protein

So I was nervous to try these. I did like the Quest BBQ chips, I thought they were pretty decent but not enough to buy cases of them. I read the reviews on here and went out on a limb and bought a case. These are AMAZING! I can't believe they are 'healthier' and 'protein' chips. They really taste like an indulgence. I rarely eat chips only as a special treat so being able to eat these guiltlessly is awesome. They are super cheesy and give you cheesy finger residue like you're eating doritos or cheetos.... so nostalgia without feeling bad about it after! They are a little fragile so dipping them in something requires you to be gentle, but that doesn't really bother me as I pretty much just eat them plain anyway. I wish they were cheaper... but I love them anyway!

Low Carb / Keto friends - I'm sure you all ended up here because you started off with Quest Protein Bars. I'm so glad they have expanded into making cookies and chips.

CONSISTENCY - It doesn't give you the tortilla chip vibe, it's more like a tortilla chip with a cheez-it cracker type finish.

FLAVOR - Nacho cheese flavor is in line with other chips. It does get a little salty for me by the end of the bag. I have tried Nacho Cheese and Ranch and think I prefer the Ranch flavoring more, but like both for the sake of variety.

Either way, finding variety of snacks to do low carb / keto diets is tough, so this is great for snacking.

I am THE pickiest eater ever. I have the palette of a 5-year-old and have issues with food textures and consistencies. I was a little nervous to try these, but went out on a limb because I was desperate for keto snacks I could easily grab. I work night shift and sometimes get junk food cravings. These taste JUST like cool ranch Doritos. The chips themselves are a little thinner than Doritos, but I honestly like them even better! I can't believe these are so low carb. They are a little expensive for chips, but I don't eat a bag every day. Just a couple times a week to get through cravings. I love mixing these into taco bowls too!

You cannot beat these!!! I have been on my version of low carb diet, and these work in great. Everyone in the family agrees that there is really no difference between these and lets say a bag of baked lays except the flavor is MUCH stronger on these (which is a plus). Nacho cheese is my favorite so far. I had the cheddar and sour cream and BBQ. These are almost the same as cheddar and sour cream but the sour cream part gives those a little bit of a funky after taste. If you like BBQ chips a lot you'll probably love those too, but I'm not a huge fan of BBQ chips. These nacho cheese ones are a great snack while I am working at my desk after a workout. It really feels like I am cheating until I remind myself it isn't by looking at the nutrition facts. They are expensive in comparison to other chips, but hey eating healthy typically is expensive. Having something you can enjoy is crucial to sticking to a diet. Also I am excited to try these as a coating on baked chicken!

We hope you like Protein Chips 2.0 as much as we do! Get ready to revolutionize snack time all over again.



Of all the high-protein snacks that I've ever tried, these are the BEST! It amazes me that they have 19 grams of protein. I like them even better than "real" tortilla chips because they're thinner and crisper, and they are a perfect "tide-me-over-til-supper" afternoon snack with the protein that keeps your blood sugar level, preventing you from cramming high-sugar items into your body. They're a bit pricey, so I have to ration them, but they are helping me keep from gaining back the weight I lost last winter. So happy that Quest created these - am ordering a new box of them today.

I’m newly on the Keto diet. Today, I am 31 days clean from my addiction to Dr. Pepper!!! With the keto diet, I didn’t think I would succeed because I’m not necessarily a meal eater. So, I searched for things that were tasty, quick, and filling, but also reasonably priced. So far, for the crunchy craving (because pork rinds get lame very quick), these actually fulfilled that crunch crave. Of course they aren’t like regular chips, but after 15 days of strict dieting and checking ketones, this was a treat! I dip the ranch flavored ones in garlic hummus... hey, it works.... or I sprinkle shredded cheese on them and bake them in the oven and make like a ghetto nacho plate with some hot sauce. Add a bottle of sparkling ice cherry limeade and it’s like you’re not even dieting! If I was not on a weight loss mission, of course I would choose the real ranch flavored corn chips, but these are a great substitute. Hope this helps!

All I have to say is WOW. When I bought these I expected them to taste like awful diet stuff but I really miss Takis so I said screw it let's try it. HOLY COW. These taste just like the Lime Chilli Doritos and the Cheddar Cheese are even better. I love these so much im going to buy the ranch pack next. The consistency is a little airier and less crunchy than the traditional but it's a Low Carb food so what can you expect? Some of them do get a little crushed during shipping but I dont mind and these also make excellent "breading" for keto baked chicken nuggets.

Sooooo good. They mastered the Doritos nacho flavor. I am not some super fan for Doritos, but when I need crunch and I want to stay on track, this is it. Isn't it annoying when people say, "If you are craving something crunchy, try celery!" I have been reading ridiculous statements like that my whole life. When I crave crunch, I reach for these. The flavor is such a knockout when you are doing keto that you aren't tempted to eat more than one bag. I have found if you can satisfy the flavor profile, your mind is satiated. Try these. They don't disappoint.

I am a huge chip lover and since starting counting my macros to lose weight, these chips are a part of my diet. I eat them almost every day with a low calorie sandwich. It feels like there is a lot of volume in each bag and the flavor is amazing. I actually like that the chip is lighter and more airy than a normal greasy chip. Highly recommend to anyone who needs more protein in their diet. My only con is most of the time when I order these or buy them via Vitamin Shoppe, a lot of the chips are crushed in the bags already but not sure what could be done to really prevent that and I will continue to enjoy these! Worth a try!
