Taste Test Tuesday: Chips That Are Good for You?
If you going for the vegetable serving your flavor options are:
- Tomato Basil
- Vegetable Medley
If you are going for the fruit serving your flavor options are:
- Apple Cinnamon (with real pieces of apples)
- Banana (with real pieces of banana)
My favorite of the four flavors was Vegetable Medley and the rest of my family backs me up on that. We thought these tasted "good" while I would give the other three flavors a "not bad" rating. If you are looking for something sweet and crunchy, the apple cinnamon or the banana will probably appeal to you. Personally my taste buds were confused by the sweet flavor--they look like savory chips and that's what my taste buds were expecting.

Too bad they put wheat in it. I know so many people that can't handle it. Celiac, etc. (including my daughter)
Last night was my turn to host the Mah Jong game and I'm always looking for easy healthy snacks to serve. After reading your blog I decided to try these. The veggie kind were sold out in my local store so I got the tomato basil. Everyone loved them except the one woman who doesn't like basil (makes sense). One of my friends who doesn't like vegetables really enjoyed them and was kind of tickled that she could get some of her vegetables without eating vegetables! We all agreed that the fruit flavored ones didn't appeal to us; it just seemed like these should be savory not sweet. I'll look for the vegetable ones the next time I go to the store.
they're great also with salmon,and other vegetables. try cheese and dried tomatoes fabulous
My husband and I love the apple cinnamon. I make a homemade fruit salsa with apples, strawberries and kiwi, and we used to make cinnamon chips from tortillas, butter and cinnamon sugar. Very time consuming, and the butter really took away a bit of health benefit. Now with these, they're just a good, and a ton easier!
I realy liked the vegetable medley. For some reason my store stopped carrying them, but I found them on the internet. (Not sure if I'm allowed to say where) I'm getting a 9 pack case sent every 3 months. It makes a girl feel secure. HaHa.
