"Healthy" Alternatives to Chips

Requirements:

Crunchy

Extra Details:

Looking for some healthier alternatives to chips that I can snack on. Many of the Keto snacks in the market I've tasted were awful, and very heavy on protein aftertaste. I'm not necessarily looking for "keto" snacks.

Calbee Harvest Snaps deliver a light, crunchy snack that’s flavorful without being overwhelming—a satisfying option when you want something crisp but not overly indulgent.

Here’s a taste test breakdown for Calbee Harvest Snaps. 

1. Texture: The first thing you’ll notice is the satisfying crunch. It’s light and crispy, but not hard—more of a delicate snap that gives way easily when you bite into it. It’s airy inside, which makes it feel like a light snack, but still crunchy enough to be addictive.

2. Seasoning: The seasoning is not overpowering, just enough to keep you coming back for more. For the lightly salted version, the salt enhances the natural flavors without making it feel too salty. For options like black pepper or wasabi, there’s a gentle spice kick, but nothing too intense.

3. Aftertaste: There’s no oily residue or heavy aftertaste, which keeps the snack feeling light. It doesn’t leave you feeling weighed down or thirsty, which is a bonus compared to traditional chips.

4. Health Vibe: You’ll feel good eating these since they’re made from peas, lentils, or chickpeas, depending on the variety. They offer a decent amount of fiber and protein, making them a more nutritious alternative to regular potato chips.

There's a variety pack, as well - contains 14 bags per pack.

The Good Crisp Company's potato chips are made without the top allergens and artificial ingredients. 

Its chips come in several different flavors that are very similar to Pringles, like Sour Cream & Onion, Aged White Cheddar, or Original. I like how they're gluten-free, as well. 

My favorite's BBQ - they have updated the flavor to Outback BBQ. These are so good.

Bare Cinnamon Apple chips. 

They’re made with just apples and cinnamon—no added sugars, oils, or preservatives. They satisfy that craving for something crunchy and sweet while being naturally low in calories and full of fiber. So yummy.

I love Terra chips, and this new flavor is perfect for fall. The bag contains an assortment of sweet potatoes and apples with a hint of cinnamon, and it tastes so so good. I snack on these at work, and they're so crunchy and yummy. 

They are made with "real ingredients", so I would argue they're healthier than highly processed potato chips. They're not low-calorie food, though, so keep that in mind when you're debating on finishing the whole bag.
