That's what I was saying earlier on this thread, they said it's taro.. and I love love love taro.. BUT it's just like a potato chip..which is why I was curious the nutrition on the vegie chips.. Taro is a root, we use to import taro chips from hawaii.. so was wondering if it's just how it was made that it was not very good nutritionally, or if that's just how taro is..

I'll call the company on Monday because if the nutrition is ok with me, it sounds really damn good.

Well I googled it, maybe it's not too bad.

http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00001-01c21T1.html

10 chips is (23g) is 115 calories, 16g of carbs, 1g of sugar.

And the picture of the veggie pics, look like small round pieces of taro.. the potato chips are about half the size of my hand.

Are they dried or baked, or are they fried? If they are dried or baked, it probably isn't too bad for you, since you probably wouldn't be eating that much of it.

10 chips are 115 calories? Plus more than one gram of carb per chip? I think I will have to pass. I have to save my carbs for things that make me go potty.

Like strawberries and other yummy fruits. I limit my carbs to 30 per day.

They aren't fried, either baked or dried.

I don't eat the sweet potato things, won't be eating the taro either.

Hey, Bubble, I got my stuff today! I've tried some of it, but not all, yet. The plums that I got are delish! The cantaloupe is actually surprisingly good, too. I'm not super-fond of the pears, though. They're a little too sweet for me. They may grow on me though, because they have a pretty good after-taste. It's just the original texture that throws me off. I've not tried anything else yet, but I'm pretty happy so far. I bet the chocolate espresso Beans will be yummy!

My god, Bubble, I want to kiss you. :sleep:dance: These veggie chips are awesome! Just eating these makes the whole order worthwhile. I wish I had gotten more, now. :Cry: They're wonderful, yet I am satisfied with just a small handful.

I like them too. When I want potato chips or Fritos, this does the trick for me. I LOVE the green Beans, aren't they cool? Lightly salted, hits the spot. Yet not the fat and calories of potato chips.

I really like this stuff. So glad you enjoy them. I plan to continue buying them.

What are the brown sticks?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
