This Schoolyard Snacks review will check out the brand and the snacks they offer, customer reviews, brand promotions, plus their subscription process, to help you decide if these snacks are worth the buy. 

Overview of Schoolyard Snacks

Schoolyard Snacks Review

Helen and Dylan cooked up (literally) Schoolyard Snacks in their 450 square foot apartment, after being told by big brands that their ideas wouldn’t cut it in the world of snacks. This came after the two decided to “grow up” and cut sugar from their diets. Of course, cutting out sugar came with a price–a sadness of missing out on certain nostalgic favorites, like cereal. 

And so, in 2017, Schoolyard Snacks low-calorie cereal was born. The brand’s guilt-free snacks are keto-friendly, sugar-free, low-carb, and high protein.

If cheese puffs are more your style, you can pick 1 or 2 flavors out of Cheddar Cheese, Flaming Hot, and Sour Cream and Onion.

Having selected your preferred flavors, you can choose between 15 days, 30 days, or 45 days for your subscription frequency. Each 100-calorie snack comes as a ¾ cup serving.

These snacks will transport you back to a simpler time. One when you didn’t worry about how eating your favorite snacks would affect your waistline. As the name implies, these snacks are also a healthy option for school-age kids, especially picky eaters.

Schoolyard Snacks Cereal Review

Eating becomes fun again when you’re not worried about sugar, calories, or how many jumping jacks you’ll need to do to burn off what you just ate. Schoolyard Snacks Cereal allows you to thoroughly enjoy what you’re eating by being good for you.

Choose from your old-time favorite flavors, like Chocolate if you were a Cocoa Puffs fan, or Fruity if you preferred Trix. This Schoolyard Snacks review suggests adding unsweetened milk to continue the healthy vibes.

This treat makes for a great late-night keto snack, or your go-to breakfast, lunch, or even dessert. Each package contains zero grams of sugar, featuring fruit sweetener as a replacement.

If you choose to buy 12 bags of 1 flavor (the lowest quantity), you’ll receive these tasty treats for about $2.25 per bag, a total of $30. If you’d like to subscribe, you can save 10% and pay $27. 

Schoolyard Snacks Keto Puffs Review

Cheese puffs are one of those snacks where the bag is empty in the blink of an eye. They’re cheesy, salty, crunchiness is extremely satisfying, yet we can never get enough. Unfortunately, traditional cheese puffs come with a slough of nasty ingredients, including artificial dyes and trans fats.

Cue these Keto Puffs from Schoolyard Snacks and experience nirvana for your taste buds, and your conscience. Pumped up with protein, this snack is baked to perfection to satisfy your need for nostalgic-noms.

You can get these cheese-babies as a bundle of 12, 24, or 48 in 1 or 2 flavors. If you purchase 12 bags of 1 flavor, the total cost would be $30. Or, you have the option to subscribe and pay $27. 

Schoolyard Snacks Bundles Review

These fan-favorites can keep you stocked for the winter. But don’t worry, you won’t be putting on that typical winter-hibernation weight with these diet-friendly snacks. 

This Schoolyard Snacks review recommends combining the cereals to recreate Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. This yummy bundle of 48 bags (12 of each flavor) is on sale right now for $90, normally $120.

For those who like a little less commitment, or those who aren’t addicted to snacking, this 24 bag bundle combines Cheddar Cheese Puffs and Cocoa Cereal to satisfy your snacking needs without going overboard. 

Keep your goals in check this year with the Cheddar Cheese Puff + Cocoa Cereal Bundle for $50, regularly priced at $60

Is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter combined? Cocoa and Peanut Butter Cereal is a customer-pleasing combo, which is why it’s a staple among their bundles. Throw in a bag of Cheddar Cheese Puffs to your order and you have yourself one heck of a snack cupboard. 

You’ll feel like you’re indulging with the Cheddar Cheese Puff + Cocoa Cereal + Peanut Butter Cereal combo, but you’re simply taking care of your body, and the extravagant taste just happens to be a part of it. Reap the benefits of this 36 bag snack pack which is currently on sale for $75 (normally $90). 

Sour Cream and onion flavor provides an herby, tangy alternative to the traditional cheese puff flavor. You’ll get all the onion creaminess the old-school flavor, just without the unhealthy additives.

Add on Cocoa and Peanut Butter Cereal for a little late-night snack-attack, or early morning breakfast, to keep your tastebuds and your waistline happy.

Schoolyard Snacks Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Schoolyard Snacks Review

This Schoolyard Snacks review took a look at customer reviews on Reddit, Schoolyardsnacks.com, and Amazon, to find how customers feel about the brand’s snacks.

The response is mostly positive, with customers enjoying the taste, texture, and keto-friendly ingredients. Negative reviews also speak of taste and texture, as well as the cost. 

One of the Schoolyard Snacks reviews Reddit users wrote talked about the similarity of the brand’s cheese puffs to Cheetos: “I LOVE them. The flaming hots are flawless. The regular aren’t exactly what I was hoping for, but close enough. The texture is somewhere between crunchy and puffy Cheetos.”

One Schoolyard Snacks Reddit user was disappointed by the cereal: “It’s very disappointing and I can’t say I’m a fan. I got the cinnamon bun flavour. I was so so so looking forward to having cereal back and with all the rave reviews this isn’t what I expected.”

Customers on the Schoolyard Snacks website ranked their keto-friendly snacks as 4.8/5 stars among 8720 reviews. Schoolyard Snacks keto reviews write of loving their products because they “have made eating low carb even easier,” and have a “delicious taste and perfect macros for my fitness and health goals.”

Schoolyard Snacks Review

One-star reviews on Schoolyardsnacks.com write of being disappointed with the texture and taste of the cereal. Some of the reviews note the cereal leaving “an oily film on my tongue,” being “bland and tasteless,” and the Cheese Puffs being “too cheesy”  or “too salty and spicy.” 

Schoolyard Snacks Peanut Butter Cereal is rated 3.6/5 stars on Amazon out of 1,056 ratings. The most positive Schoolyard Snacks cereal review read, “It has the right amount of sweetness thanks to the monkfruit…this is spot on with the peanut butter taste. There is no after taste…either.”

A 1-star review expresses dissatisfaction with the taste in relation to price: “You really have to have a “UNIQUE” set of taste buds to enjoy this cereal…$32.99 is really expensive to pay for something that does not taste good.” 

Are Schoolyard Snacks Worth It?

Schoolyard Snacks Review

What this Schoolyard Snacks review has found through reading customer reviews is that what some love, others hate. The fact that some customers think the cheese puffs are “too cheesy”, or that the cereal is “too crunchy”, doesn’t mean all that much in the grand scheme of things.

What does mean something, is the fact that Schoolyard Snacks has developed products that more than 3/4 of their consumers absolutely adore. We love that the snacks are all-natural, non-GMO, and made in the USA with healthy ingredients.

Peace of mind when it comes to snacking is key. And if the right snack can do that for you, we suggest giving this company a try. This Schoolyard Snacks review believes their munchies are certainly worth the buy.

Do not buy! I never signed up for monthly delivery. I could not “Modify” my order so I had my credit card company block any charges from school used snacks. Guess what…they charged me under the name Cereal Snacks. Now I will cancel my credit card. I am sooo frustrated and angry!

I’m not sure there’s an actual human behind this company, everything is done with auto-responses and robotic call. Buyer beware

Terrible Product, Terrible Customer Service

As others have said, this company is a joke. The homepage banner clearly states a “30-day money back guarantee”. There is no * about more terms and that banner does not link to another page. They say they’ll send you a pre-paid return label, however there’s a $10 penalty for doing so. They say there’s nothing they can do. From Tarah: “Unfortunately, there isn’t a way around that policy at this time”. This is absolutely untrue. They are using Shopify for their e-commerce and Shopify makes it very easy to refund customers as much $ as you’d like.

The products are disgusting and I suspect they are responding to many complaints. They must be losing money on their guarantee, but instead of honoring it (or removing it), they try to swindle. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

I am terrified by schoolyard snacks. I requested by text, email to stop them to sending me their products for months, they still keep sending me the snacks I don’t like. Can you stop sending me your products?

Sucks

The food is awful tasting. Texture is disgusting. You cannot get hold of company to cancel. Several emails were not answered. They billed me again. PayPal couldn’t get hold of them. Glad I paid through PayPal, they refunded my money.

Schoolyard Snacks Does NOT Honor Money Back Guarantee

The product is not good at all. Horrible taste. But what’s worse is their customer service. They do not give a refund. They conveniently do nothing respond to inquiries for refunds until after the 30 day period and then they use that as the excuse for not being able to honor it. That’s a bunch of garbage and a death sentence for the company.

They refused to give me my money back even though it was well before the 30 days. Their excuse was that they are a small company starting up. After several emails and contact them through Instagram,I still don’t have a response. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY.

Yup. Same here. Did you get a postcard from the founder bragging about having fun in Hawaii? This company will NEVER last!
