So, my brain is already working on packing lunches. We are now a gluten free family and that means packing lunches is a must. I'm kind of lucky though, my kids are so used to thinking outside of the box with food that I can get some really nutritious snacks in them without all the lip some people probably get. This has taken time though with Jay. He was my picky eater, but now he is willing to try anything!
So, back to lunches...
Have you ever heard of Beanfields? Truthfully, I hadn't until they reached out to me to try their products. I am so glad they did! I am always on the lookout for healthy snacks and these definitely fit the bill for me and my family! The first ingredients are black beans, navy beans and long grain rice...my favorite foods all in one!
They kindly sent me the Nacho and Pico De Gallo flavors. I was actually pretty excited about these flavors since I haven't had a nacho flavored chip in years. I don't eat or buy a lot of chips because I don't really like greasy fatty chips for me or the boys. However, these chips are neither of those things!
These chips are super crispy, loaded with flavor and...
what I really love is that they are high in fiber (do your chips have this?), have a good amount of protein in them (4 grams per serving), are soy, gluten and dairy free! Even the chip connoisseurs here loved these!
They make the perfect addition to our sandwiches at lunch. This was our snack of choice at the lake on Sunday!
They also make the perfect crunchy topping to our chicken chili (recipe coming soon)! These chips are a great topper for soups and don't get soggy when dipped in salsa. A chip that has all the nutritional bonuses of Beanfields and holds up to dips makes a perfect chip in my book! You can buy them through their website in full size and snack size bags, through Amazon or at your local health food store.
There's a bonus for you, my readers...Beanfields is offering one reader the chance to win 6 bags of their chips! All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me what you look for in a your perfect chip.

Well, yum. The name of these chips makes me smile! :) Of course you know how to eat them the right way Sarena. He he.
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the hunt for healthier chips...these sound delish!
ReplyDeleteOooh. Those sound yummy. I look for crunch and taste (but no peculiar after-taste).
ReplyDeleteI would love a chip that tastes great that doesn't have corn! I need something that will hold up cause I love me some salsa and cheese dip. So I need a sturdy chip.
ReplyDeleteTHIS is exactly what I look for in a chip - I love rice based chips, and the bean chips I have tried I also like (tried to make them in my dehydrator - fail) :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a chili topping - I do things like that too.
you are lucky to have kids that grew out of the picky eater phase... I know that is a big thing... I know I was picky, and know some picky kids too ;)
That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhen I look for chips, I want crispy and not greasy. Lays may be the worst offender of all time... gross.
They go back to school in 2 weeks??!! WOW.
ReplyDeleteI need a thick, crunchy chip - my fav!

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I didn't grow up loving chips, but have developed a like for them now that there are so many types available. I like full flavor (not just seasoning) and thick!
ReplyDeleteI have tried these and they are good. I don't feel as guilty eating them because they are lower in carbs. I look for chips with healthy ingredients and low carb.
ReplyDeletethe perfect chip has to be salty but with a nice crunch!

ReplyDeleteA perfect chip for our family is dairy, nut, egg and wheat free....and perfectly crunchy, salty and seasoned. Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteLow in calories, high in nutrients, and high in flavor - that's how I would describe my perfect chips. :)

Big crunch and lots of flavor. But not too much salt. These sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMmm, you made these chips look seductive!
ReplyDeleteI looks for a scrumptious , delicious and strongly flavoured chip- but with non dodgy/recognisable ingredients.
I LOVE that these are made with beans, beans rock!
