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.
