IMG_1314 When I went back to Wisconsin this past summer I was introduced to some great chips.  They are called Beer Chips®.Which are thick-cut kettle style potato chips coated with a major dose of the world’s most perfect beverage: BEER. They’re made even better with a generous glazing of sugar, honey and salt.  Beer Chips do not contain alcohol. They will not impair your ability to drive, but they will make you the life of the party or at least my brother Andy thought he was since he brought the chips.  Its hard to explain the flavor but they were good and a bag didn’t last long and they didn’t need dip.

The second product I tried was Pub Pretzels.  I loved the flavor ~ they had a tangy garlic flavor.  I loved that they were small pretzels and had lots of taste.

There are a couple other products in this line including Margarita kettle chips which are salt and lime flavored, Hot Potatoes which are are a Spicy Bloody Mary kettle chip and Barbecue Rib kettle chip.  I can’t wait to try the others.

These chips and pretzels are not found all over but you can order them HERE online.  You can also connect with them on Facebook.

IMG_1219We love Kettle Cooked Chips at my house and the summer is the prefect time to serve them with BBQ or a family get together.  I recently tried a couple different chips from Boulder Canyon.

What I really like about Boulder Canyon is that the chips are all natural, gluten free, zero trans fat and zero cholesterol.

The first ones I tried were Canyon Cut wavy potato chips ~ yummy!  I had a bag of Sour Cream & Chive and they had so much flavor.  They were nice thick chips with ridges.  They were crispy and were perfect for dunking in my favorite dip.  Everyone loved these – the bag was the first bag to be empty. There are a number of different flavors including Honey Bar B Que and Natural.

The second bag of chips were Kettle Chips which were thick slices of slow cooked chips – made in small kettles and used sunflower and/or safflower oil. The chips we had were Red Wine and Vinegar ~ Rex loved these!  Matter of fact I think he ate most of the bag.  They had tons of flavor and just the right amount of salt. There are a number of other flavors including Natural and Parmesan & Garlic.

Boulder Canyon carries a whole line of great tasting chips including vegetable crisps, hummus chips and rice and bean chips I am sure you can find something everyone in your family enjoys. I have seen Boulder Canyon Chips at a number of stores including Winco. You can also order HERE online.  You can also connect with Boulder Canyon on Facebook.

In my search for things that are good for you and good tasting I found some great tasting chips called Beanfields. These chips are made out of beans.  Why beans?  There are many reasons why – here are just a few:

  • Beans are rich in nutrients including fiber and protein
  • Beans rarely cause an allergic food reaction
  • Beans are an affordable protein source
  • Beans fix nitrogen in the soil
  • Beans take less water to grow per pound than any other protein source

What did I like about Beanfields Healthier Snacks?  I liked the taste and distinctive crunch. They also come in some great tasting flavors including Nacho, Sea salt, Pico De Gallo, Salt N’ Pepper, and Unsalted. My favorite was the Pico De Gallo ~ it had just the right touch of spice for me.  You can eat them plain or try some salsa with your chips.

Beanfields chips are much better for you than regular chips they are a complete protein, have less fat, more fiber and complex carbohydrates. Here is a snack you can feel good about treating yourself too and eat anytime anywhere.

If you would like to purchase Beanfields Bean & Rice Chips you can do so at many local stores including Thriftway and Market of Choice.  You can also order them HERE online.  You can connect with Beanfields on Facebook.
