"Aldi sells two flavors of Elevation Protein Puffs: Jalapeño Cheddar and Nacho Cheese. A protein-packed take on the beloved, corn-based cheese ball snacks, the protein puffs are a gluten-free, keto-friendly, and low-carb alternative that contain a whopping 42 grams of protein per container. While the macros may impress you, many Aldi customers on Reddit state that the flavor is "absolutely disgusting." One Redditor in the thread claimed the puffs were completely inedible, stating, "Those things are an abomination ... I had no choice but to throw them in the trash. I couldn't even bring myself to put an unopened bag in a neighborhood food pantry hutch.""
"The long list of customer grievances and descriptions of both flavors of Elevation Protein Puffs at Aldi were horrifyingly entertaining. One Redditor wrote, "They taste like metal and smell like afterbirth." A vivid description left by a customer in the same thread proclaims, "They literally taste like acid reflux, or like after you eat Doritos and burp," while another stated that one bite tasted like "straight vomit in your mouth." Sometimes health foods can mimic their junk food dupes, but Elevation Protein Puffs have failed miserably."
Elevation Protein Puffs at Aldi come in Jalapeño Cheddar and Nacho Cheese and offer a gluten-free, keto-friendly, low-carb snack with 42 grams of protein per container. Despite strong macronutrient numbers, numerous customers describe the flavor as intolerable and inedible, using vivid comparisons such as metallic taste, smell like afterbirth, acid reflux, or vomit. Several consumers disposed of unopened bags and refused to donate them due to the flavor. The product satisfies various dietary restrictions but fails to replicate the expected taste of traditional corn-based cheese puffs, leaving many buyers disappointed.
