Beanitos Chips

[NadaMas 6]

Has anyone tried these? They are a healthier version of chips - made from either black Beans or a pinto beans/flax seed combo. I found them online & (after I finished laughing about the name) tried a couple of varieties -black bean Chipolte BBQ & black bean original.

I'm pre-surgery & tostitos are a weakness of mine - I thought that these might be a reasonable substitute for an occassional treat. And I was so surprised at how good they are! They may not work for everyone, but they work for me. I use them w/ nachos, dips, snacking, etc. Here's some of the nutitional highlights:

• Corn Free
  
• Low Glycemic
  
• Gluten Free
  
• High Fiber
  
• (Relatively) Good Protein
  

They say that a serving size is 10 chips & for that the breakdown is as follows:

• 140 calories (60 calories from fat)
  
• total fat - 7 g.
  
• total carbs - 15 g.
  
• Fiber 5 g.
  
• Protein 4 g.
  

Its not an ideal choice & obviously one that I won't eat for a while once I'm sleeved, but I was happy to find something to help get the tostitos monkey off my back.

I apologize if this sounds like a commercial, but I was happy & wanted to share.

These are good, however I prefer the Lundberg Rice chips. before I tried them I ate Beanitos, but love the texture and crunchiness of these others.

I adore these! Theyre wonderful! However, beware, they cause quite a bit of gas. I always take beano before. ( :

I just got these a wk or so and have only tried the black bean ones so far, and I really like them! They are great if you are missing a crunch every now and then.

That seems like a lot of carbs for just 10 chips. Special K chips of all kinds have fewer carbs for a larger serving. Give those a try, too...K

Are you finding these in the regular store?

Yeah but because they have a little more Protein it's easier to stop at just 10.
