Consumers generally have two complaints about high-protein foods: taste and texture. Especially if we’re talking about protein bars. Our team of protein experts has solved both problems with one product: SolvPro® Vegan Crisps.
These crisps add texture and vegan protein to snack foods, food bars, cereals and confectionery products. They’re airy, crunchy and have a neutral taste profile that can be easily incorporated into any formula. Even better, they are created with an optimized SolvPro® plant-based protein blend, which gives them a PDCAAS of 1.0.
What Are SolvPro® Vegan Crisps?
SolvPro® Vegan Crisps are a high-protein, plant-based inclusion made from a proprietary blend of pea protein isolate and brown rice protein. The result is a complete protein with a PDCAAS of 1.0, delivered in a crunchy, allergen-free format that’s ideal for a wide range of food applications. The crisps are available at either 60% or 70% protein. Other details include:
- Free from top 9 allergens

What are the Physical Properties of SolvPro® Vegan Crisps?
The spherically shaped crisps are between 4-6 millimeters, making them the ideal size for any application. They have a dark tan color and a clean and bland flavor and odor.
What applications are best for SolvPro® Vegan Crisps?
These crisps are designed for functionality and flexibility, giving product developers an easy way to increase protein content without compromising on taste or texture. They are best suited for the following applications:
- Protein Bars: Add texture and protein to bars without introducing off-flavors or allergens.
- Baked Goods: Use as inclusions in cookies, muffins, and granola clusters to meet protein targets.
- Cereal & Cluster: Use the SolvePro® Vegan Crisps as part of a blend in high-protein cereals or granolas.
- Snacks and Confections: Combine with chocolate, nut butters or dried fruit in snack bites and better-for-you chocolate bars.
Do you help prototype high-protein products?
Yes! Osage Food Products and Osage Flavors collaborates closely with food brands to bring new products to market. We recently worked on a Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar that used the SolvPro® Vegan Crisps. The 120 calorie bar contained 8 grams of protein, but the bar size could easily be doubled for 16 grams of protein.
In addition to the protein crisps, our team also developed the sweetener system for the bar, which consisted of our SolveSweet® Natural Sweetener blend of Stevia Leaf Extract and Natural Flavors.
