  • Limited flavor variety

Chomps earns strong reviews for clean-ingredient, high‑protein meat sticks that taste satisfying on the go—jalapeño and original beef frequently stand out—so the brand is broadly considered good for convenient protein. Reviews also flag drawbacks: sodium runs high, texture can skew dry or inconsistent, flavor variety feels limited, and isolated complaints cite off flavors, spoilage, and a recall concern.

  • I love having these on hand for an extra protein boost/easy snack on the go. The texture isn't my favorite on the market, and I find some of the flavors a bit *too* salty, but their ingredients are high quality.

  • Super yummy! These are the only beef sticks available at my student rec center, and they are well worth the price. Superior quality, texture, and taste compared to the commonly known beef sticks. However, the Jalapeno beef stick does have a funky artificial taste to it imo.

  • Delicious beef jerky. Not much more to it than that. It’s moderately priced but I feel like the quality is superior to the cheaper products. I’m hoping to try other flavors and varieties in the future.

    If you can find this on sale with a discount it makes it taste better. I know that’s crazy to say but for some reason whenever I get a good deal it just tastes better.

  • I always pick up Chomps whenever I see them at cash wrap. They're the perfect, low-cost beef jerky replacement for me and their jalapeno flavor is bomb. They did increase their price over the last year so I don't buy it as often, but I still treat myself from time to time.

  • I always have Chomps in my purse so if I get hangry when I'm out and about, I won't get tempted to buy something sugary or unhealthy. I think Chomps makes the best tasting beef sticks on the market and I love the smaller snack size. I buy the small sizes in bulk either via Thrive Market or Amazon.

    Feedback

    I would love it if the snack sizes were more readily available in stores.

  • I have become a big fan of Chomps products after trying them through am ambassador partnership with asweatlife.com. ?I prefer the beef options over the turkey stick, but they are all pretty great. Other jerky snacks are gross compared to Chomps. It's an easy source of protein before/after a workout and a go-to snack of mine on a weekly basis.

    Feedback

    They are a bit expensive, but I continue to buy them because I really love the product.

  • Obsessed with the beef jalapeno. The ingredients are super clean. I put these in my bag for protein on the go.

  • Got a large box of the beef sticks from Trader Joe’s because I read they made a healthy snack. Did not enjoy the flavor and the packaging while fun to peel is pretty wasteful.

    Feedback

    Weird flavor of the beef sticks .

  • The jalapeño flavored beef stick has the enough spice and low calories for a healthy and delicious snack!

    Feedback

    I wish the jalapeño flavor was a little bit spicier. As someone who likes a kick, I think it could have more.

  • These are great for on-the-go snacking, like on hikes or during other exercise. I’ve only tried the one main flavor and it was pretty tasty

  • So tasty and high protein (p.s. my favorite flavor is turkey).

  • I'm not a fan of these but my daughter loves them and likes eating them for snacks! I'd rather her eat this healthy version of the not-so-healthy jerky/meat stick alternatives.

  • Up until Thanksgiving 2022, I had been a vegetarian for 4 and 1/2 years. I didn't really like chicken on the bone, it grossed me out. I also didn't like the whole eating animals aspect. I guess I used to enjoy hot dogs and chicken nuggets, but it wasn't worthwhile in my mind, and I gave up eating meat altogether. That was until I was in the checkout line at Trader Joe's. I remember looking at the Chomps near the register and thinking, "wow, I wish I wasn't vegetarian right now so I could try it." Shortly after, I visited my friend to celebrate Friendsgiving with her. It's important to note that at this time, I was struggling with gaining energy during the day and balancing my nutrition as a vegetarian. We were casually chatting, as we always do, and I was telling her about my lack of energy. As a former vegetarian herself, she was talking about how once she reintroduced meat into her diet, she had more energy and felt more nourished. She said I should give it a shot, after all, what do I have to lose? So, I said fuck it. Let's try it. I admitted to her that I was at TJ's the other day, and was eyeing the Chomps, and she actually happened to have some in her apartment. So, I tried it. The first bite was weird, as it naturally would be eating meat after 4 and 1/2 years of not eating meat. I was immediately a fan, though. I enjoyed every bite, and actually began to crave it during the day. This is gonna sound dramatic and you may not believe me, but perhaps the third time or so after eating meat, when I had a Chomps midday after feeling depleted and low energy, I instantly felt a burst of energy and felt more nourished. Crazy, huh? Well, Chomps really does deserve 5 stars because it has truly changed my life. It converted me from a vegetarian to an occasional meat-eater. And if a brand can do that, that is saying a lot. P.S. My friend's husky LOVES Chomps, and whenever I am eating one, he wants one too. Just two besties eating our Chomps LOL. Would highly recommend! Also, please note that this review is for their original beef flavor in the red packaging, as I have yet to try the other flavors.

    I guess if they made one with less sodium, that would be ideal.

  • I LOVE CHOMPS!! My favorite are the pack of mini chomps in the original beef flavor. They are the perfect snack to keep me full and they don't have the weird aftertaste that similar snack sticks usually have.

  • Absolutely love CHOMPS! I try to get is a decent amount of protein in at each meal for my diet and sometimes breakfast can be a tough one since I am always rushing out the door, but their products makes it so easy to just grab and go. I'm the kind of person that loves a nice savory breakfast meat too, so this works perfectly for me. One of the things that made their brand stand out compared to the other on the market was that their products are made using grass-fed beef and has zero sugar. In my opinion they are worth every penny for quality, taste, and convenience!

  • Simple and delicious meat sticks. Any time I see them in a store, I will buy one just to up my protein. Chomps is my go to protein snack and it’s been pretty easy to find, especially at Trader Joe’s and Costco.

  • Chomps is hands down the best meat stick. Great peppery flavor that isn't overpowering. I'd say out of every 10 sticks I eat, 1 is much softer than the rest. I just wish the texture was a little more consistent - then it'd be 5 stars.

  • My favorite meat sticks! The turkey is my favorite but honestly they’re all great, you really can’t go wrong.

  • I didn't know what to expect but these meat sticks were so good. They tasty and great for on the go.

  • Awesome snack! Love that it’s quality/limited ingredients without a ton of additives.
