I’ve lost weight with keto—the only thing that’s worked for me—but face two ongoing problems. First, I get bored of eating fat and leaves. Second, keto clones of normal snacks tend to be weird, mealy or downright unpleasant to taste. Quevos [Amazon link] are the first keto chips I can just sit and eat and eat and eat until I realize I’ve gone though three packets. My toddler steals them, too, so it’s not just the carb-starved incentives of a keto dieter making me like them.
They’re made from egg whites, and come in two flavors: Sour Cream and Onion and Quevos Rancheros. There’s 120 or 140 calories a bag and 2 or 3 net carbs (full nutritional info is at the website). There are other non-keto flavors (salt and pepper, sweet barbecue and cheddar) with 10 or 11 carbs a bag.
They work, I think, because they’re honest to what they are, which is baked egg chips, and aren’t trying too hard to taste like potato chips. They flavors are unusual as well, suggesting a lot of experimentation. What is “Rancheros” flavor, exactly? The taste of tests.
They’re not perfect. The mouthfeel is dry and dusty, and you’re getting a full load of sodium. The Quevos are small, probably because they’re brittle and would arrive in fragments were they any larger. The latter point is a reviewer in search of a quibble, perhaps, so I’d like to stress that these are the first keto snacks I’ve tried that didn’t taste like “keto snacks” and a must-try for people managing carbs.
Quevos are available from Amazon Prime and at the official website. They’re in stores (locator) too, but coverage isn’t very wide.
