Shrewd Food Protein Puffs, Protein Cookies, Protein Dippers, Protein Croutons

If you could have a snack that had no nutritional value versus a snack that did which would you choose? I think a lot of us imagine that with good nutrition comes bad taste. Well Shrewd Food is trying to change that by baking their own lineup of snacks that pack protein, have no artificial flavors, and are peanut and nut free.

The Protein Puffs, Protein Dippers, Protein Croutons each have their various flavor coating on the outside and a crunchy center similar to Cheetos. They all taste light and not greasy like other snacks. best of all they’re non-GMO.

The Protein Puffs are great as they offer tons of flavors: Baked Cheddar, Brick Oven Pizza, Sriracha Cheddar, Cookies & Cream, Strawberries & Cream, Sour Cream & Onion, and Nacho Cheese. All bags offer 90 calories and range between 12g to 14g of protein.

The Protein Dipper lineup is for all those chocolate lovers out there. You can get either Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate that is or not Keto friendly. All do not contain corn syrup. These are fun to suck off the chocolate coating before crunching the center.

The Protein Croutons taste exactly how you’d expect. They’re just like croutons that you’d find in salad. This time they’re in small bite sized puff form and while they do have a crunch they aren’t hard to bite on. In fact as I’m writing this review I find myself munching on these Protein Croutons the most.

The Protein Cookies are crunchy yet soft and moist. Thankfully unlike other snack cookies they don’t taste stale. These cookies are made with 10 different fruits and vegetables which equate to 1 serving. You’ll be happy to know that they contain both pro-biotics and pre-biotics. So you’ll be able to digest them with ease.

No matter what style of snack you like Shrewd Foods has your protein hunger craving solved so be on the lookout for them in your snack aisle.

AYO Almond Yogurt

Love yogurt, but not diary? It might be time to try AYO Almond Yogurt. I’ve had plenty of Almond milk that tastes watery. So I was pleasantly surprised that AYO has found a way to make almonds taste rich and creamy in yogurt form.

They have four flavors strawberry, vanilla, blueberry, and peach. Each are non-dairy & vegan, gluten free, and soy free.

Of course ingredients are just as important as taste. The organic almonds come from AYO’s family farm in California and are non-GMO.

With 150-160 calories, no cholesterol, 1 gram of saturated fat, 5mg of sodium, 6mg-7mg of fiber, and 4g of protein you’ll be happy to know that you’re having a nutritionally balanced yogurt that still tastes like yogurt.

TONOR Q9 USB Microphone Kit Review

Capturing audio can be tricky. If you want an easy to setup and use solution, you might want to consider the TONOR Q9 USB Microphone Kit.

The microphone itself is cardioid. So you’ll want to talk directly and generally close to the front face of the microphone. Thankfully it does come with a pop filter and foam mic cover. This will help block your puffs of air as you’re speaking. The suspension scissor arm stand allows you to rotate 360 degrees and lock the microphone in place. The metal shock mount holds the microphone as if it’s on a cloud. With it will be able to preventing any shocking noises if you nudge into your stand.

To connect your microphone to the computer the kit comes with a USB cord. You can also connect it to the Playstation 4, but not Xbox One.

For the price the audio sounds perfect. It captures a wide range and enough bass to satisfy most typical users. If for some reason you want a higher end microphone, you should be able to swap it on the arm, but depending on its width may need a different shock mount.

I do think this is a great kit for anyone who wants to quickly step up their audio quality.
