Need Something Crunchy To Replace Chips?



Recommended Posts

My girlfriend takes the low carb tortillas and cuts them into chips with a pizza cutter and brushes them with olive oil and sprinkles garlic on them and bakes it in the oven on 350 for about ten minutes. They are really good. Each tortilla has like 6 net carbs and you can get about 10 chips from each tortilla so it's a good alternative.

WASA crackers are good too for the crunch.

I make kale chips and zuchinni chips in the oven. Just a little cooking spray and sea salt yum yum!!

Love kale chips!! And so much Vitamin A in them!

I find that baby dill pickles really satisfy my potato chip craving. Salty and crunchy. Sometimes I grab a few when dinner isn't for a while and need that little something to hold me over.

I love the baby fills too! They do satisfy!

In a couple of his low-carb cookbooks, George Stella has recipes for crunchy Snacks. My favorite is what he calls "Goldfish". It's American or similar sliced cheese cut into 16 pieces, sprinkled with seasoning (I like Montreal steak seasoning) and baked at 400 for 7 minutes. When they first ome out of the over there is no crunch, but after they cool, they are very satisfying.

Pork rinds are good, too. Protein but no carbs.

But my favorite crunch is pickled okra. I'm not fond of other okra, but I love the pickles. They are hard to get locally, so I buy a case at a time from Amazon.< /p>

I like Special K multi grain crackers for crackers. I get banana chips from Walgreens, pineapple chips from Walmart, almonds and add Quacker Oat Squares dry Cereal for my own trail mix. I like the veggie straws too!

I also do popcorn, but I do the 100 calorie bag I also do the special k chips , only a few at a time I found out unfortunally I can no longer do cucumbers or pickles I don't know what happened but my band says no more , also I loved celery & peanutbutter but I can no longer do celery either , so I have to put peanutbutter on apple slices only a few tho and I have to peel the apple slices , it sounds funny but I like banana slices with peanutbutter also.

Try Benito's bean chips. There are several flavore, and all are good, crunchy and have reasonable Protein content. Really good with re fried Beans and/or chili.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
