Sensible Portions: Garden Veggie Chips (Sea Salt)

A great, more guilt-free alternative to the popular potato chip-stacked brand, despite its ingredients includes potatoes.

Gone are the days of eating whatever you want because the food or snack is readily available regardless of its contents. Saying that means as we get older, our foods choices and options change to where we consider healthier options. For the sake of my personal health, I've avoided snacks that I used to indulge in ever since, but there are times when such cravings kick in. Thank God for healthier options because that's where Sensible Portions come into play with this: Garden Veggie Chips! We shall talk about this sea salt flavor.

Since this is packaged and structured similarly to the popular potato chip brand, which we won't mention here, I wanted to try these since I needed something to suppress my hunger before the next meal. Seeing it looked similar to that potato chip brand, I went with these, and since it was sold at clearance price at our local Ralph's supermarket, I'd thought I'd give it a try. While I'm no stranger to veggie chips, I don't eat them as often with respect to my salty cravings (some balance is necessary anyway). Upon tasting, I wasn't disappointed—the crunch, the taste and the quality was simply good. I did sense some of the vegetable from the chips but it wasn't bitter, as vegetables often get a bad rep for being bland. As someone who drinks water constantly, the salt content was just right; Nothing too salty to the point where your lips feel scratched or plumped (a weird, tingly feeling, but it does happen). In regards to the portion size, this is great for work or school and not necessarily something you need to eat in one sitting. The packaging tells the snacker that it can be resealed and stored for future snacking, which makes this a great treat. As you can tell from the images above, the chips do look similar to the popular brand of potato chips and even though it does contain potatoes, according to this product's ingredients, you should feel right at home with these.

At only 150 calories, there isn't a better choice when it come to snacks. Granted, these are snacks and should not be considered as an actual meal; I suggest pairing this with a good, club sandwich, or any lunch or dinner that would compliment its salty content. Besides that, there isn't much else to say other than to give these a try!

Highly recommended! Thank you, Sensible Portions!
