At last week's weight center meeting, we talked in depth about snacks. Why snacks are important in the weight loss calculation. (i.e. how they keep you from getting so hungry you'd gnaw off your own arm) What consists as a snack, and what is just a meal masquerading as a snack. How much protein/carb/fiber/calories should be in a snack. Hmmmm....a lot to ponder.
They passed out free samples of these chips that I've seen in the grocery store, "Food Should Taste Good." They come in several different flavors and have wholesome ingredients like quinoa and whole grains. I took home two little bags.
The first one was cheddar. It boasts itself as a chip AND a cracker. It is certified gluten-free and consists of corn, quinoa, sunflower seeds and cheddar. Nothing crazy. I loved them!!! Will enjoyed them. And Brian thought they were pretty good too. All right, something that makes all of us happy! (and is still better for you than a greasy bag of potato chips.)
The second bag, I ate them while I was impatiently waiting for dinner. And then immediately poured a glass of water. No, two sips of milk. Folks, they're Jalapeno and crushed pepper. All the same wholesome ingredients, and a whole lotta spice! I love spicy foods! This one wasn't blaringly obvious as the chip makes contact with your taste buds. Rather, the burn builds up so you go from being totally fine to "Holy Hell, what did I just eat!"
Can't wait to try some more different kinds. This is a snack I could live with.
