The collaboration introduces Tapatío Protein Puffs, a high-protein snack available in two flavors:

  • Tapatío Original

  • Spicy Queso

Each serving provides approximately:

  • 15 grams of protein

  • around 200 calories

The puffs are designed as a high-protein alternative to traditional snack chips.

Why It Matters

Protein-based snacks have expanded far beyond bars and shakes in recent years.

Consumers are increasingly looking for savory high-protein snacks, which has led to the growth of categories like:

  • protein chips

  • protein popcorn

  • protein puffs

Partnering with a recognizable brand like Tapatío also helps Genius Gourmet reach consumers outside traditional fitness circles. There’s no official launch date for these puffs but with official press releases being published, there’s signs they’re going to move quick to bring this to market.
