Think all good food has gone extinct? Think again!
Thanks to Good Boy Organic’s, lunch has become fun again. No need for a time machine: one bite of the certified organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free cheesy Organicasaurus and you’ll be transported back to the cave man days! Tame your hunger and let your inner dinosaur ROAR! Oh and did we mention it’s also baked and not fried and therefore has 40% less fat than regular corn cheese puffs?
I received a bag of these “cheese puffs” in my September Love With Food box.
Tea Suggestion:
I like iced tea with snacks like this, and in the fridge chilling was a pitcher full of this Secret Garden Tea from Kaleisia Tea. Refreshing and deliciously fruity … a nice contrast to the slightly salty, crunchy cheese snack.
What I Think:
Taste wise, these are basically “cheese puffs.” Fluffy, crunchy, corn puffs with cheddar cheese flavor, but shaped into fun dinosaur shapes that would be especially appealing to younger children. Me, personally, I don’t need my cheese puffs to be dinosaur shaped. Then again, I don’t really eat a whole lot of cheese puffs.
In comparison to the commercial cheese puff that we are probably all most familiar with, these are less cheesy tasting. My fingertips don’t turn orange when I eat these. They also don’t feel greasy after handling them, which is a big bonus in my book. They do have a slightly different taste to them … which I attribute to the baked and not fried aspect of these.
A quick label comparison told me that these have less fat than the commercial cheese puff, and I like that these are organic. They taste less cheesy, though, and there is noticeably less cheese flavoring on each puff. Overall, though, I found these to be an enjoyable snack.
My Final Thoughts:
They’re alright. I’m not big on snack chips to begin with, and cheese puffs are not something I eat regularly. But, for an occasional snack, I think I could see myself preferring these over the commercial, mass-produced cheese puff that is readily available everywhere. I like that its organic, I like that it’s baked and not fried, and overall, it’s a healthier snack choice than your average cheese puff.
