The Curators Protein Chips vs. Doritos: What’s The Healthier Choice?

In the name of snacking, we compared The Curators Protein Chips to Doritos – and here’s what we discovered:

If I asked you to rank your top five favourite crisps, I’d be willing to bet a handsome fee that Doritos feature somewhere in the conversation.

Whether it’s their iconic crunch, dippable shape, or punchy flavour, Doritos have been a snack time staple for years.

But here’s the twist: The Curators have stepped up to the plate with their own high-protein take on the classic crisp. So, how do these protein-packed triangles measure up to the original? Let’s dive in.

The Curators Protein Chips: Let Battle Commence

The Curators threw down the gauntlet and took a jab at Doritos when they launched their latest flavour, Cooler Original.

In a clever twist on the iconic Cool Original flavour, The Curators boldly declared that Doritos had the “nutritional profile of a piece of cardboard.”

Now, I don’t know what happens when two crisps go to war, but I can imagine there’d be a lot of crumbs. So, to avoid any crispy conflict, let’s take a closer look at the macros.

Our contestant in the blue corner is Doritos. In every 30g serving of Cool Original, you’ll find:

6.6g of fat (0.6g of saturates)
18g of carbs (0.6g of sugars)
1.7g of fibre
1.8g of protein
144 calories

Now, introducing our challenger in the red corner: The Curators Protein Chips. In each 35g bag of the Tangy Cheese flavour – a slightly larger serving – these high-protein crisps deliver:

4g of fat (0.5g of saturates)
16g of carbs (1.5g of sugars)
2.6g of dietary fibre
10g of protein
148 calories

Let’s break it down and see which snack comes out on top – starting with the obvious: protein. The Curators Protein Chips completely outclass Doritos here. It’s not even a contest.

And the advantage doesn’t stop there. The Curators also come in lower on fat and carbs while delivering significantly more dietary fibre.

Even on calories, gram for gram, they take the win. Sorry, Doritos – this round goes to The Curators in a landslide.

The Crunch Factor

When it comes to macros, The Curators Protein Chips have Doritos comfortably beat. More protein, more fibre, fewer carbs, and less fat – it’s a clean sweep.

But the real test? Taste. In an ideal world, we’d all choose the healthier option. But if it doesn’t satisfy those snack cravings, it’s a hard pass.

That’s where The Curators have played it smart. High-protein snacks often get a bad rap for their cardboard-like texture, but these crisps bring the crunch that lands the knockout punch.

The texture is light and crispy, the seasoning is bold, and there’s zero hint of that dreaded dry, chalky aftertaste.

Available in Thai Sweet Chilli, Tangy Cheese, and now Cooler Original, there’s no doubt The Curators Protein Chips are more than equipped to take on Doritos.

Plus, with natural flavouring used to achieve that signature taste, The Curators Protein Chips are as kind to your gut as they are to your fitness goals.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking to upgrade your snacks without compromising on taste, it might be time to make the switch. Sorry, Doritos – there’s a new triangle in town.
