Snack of the Month: Alterna-Chips

Send to a friend
Beanitos are guilt-free chips.

These new healthy chips deliver the crunch you crave--without guilt.

Move over, Spud. The latest healthy chips are gluten-free, not fried and pack unexpected body benefits.

Beanitos (pictured) come in four flavors and are made with black beans or pinto beans. Gobble up 10 chips and get 5 g of stay-full fiber and 600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids--about the amount in one ounce of salmon. Find them at a Whole Foods near you or order here

Rhythm Kale Chips are raw, vegan and insanely crunchy. (There's a 16-oz. bunch of kale in each bag!) One serving is a mere 100 calories and comes in Zesty Nacho, Kool Ranch or Bombay Curry. Buy here

Mediterranean Snack Food Co.'s Baked Lentil Chips use lentils, adzuki and garbanzo beans as a base and provide 4 g of protein and 3 g of fiber and fat per serving. We couldn't get enough of the cucumber dill flavor. Find them at a store near you.

It's crunch time.
