Product: Terra Chips A La Mexicana – $5.89+
Terra Chips are amazing.
Honestly, these are some of the best chips out on the market. You may wonder why. Well, every ingredient is 100% natural in these chips. Any ingredient listed on the bag is something that you can actually find in nature. These chips are actually made from their vegetable counterparts. No additives you wouldn’t even begin to recognize, let alone pronounce. Just a crunchy taste of vegetables, packed with flavor, and providing a healthier alternative to other lines out there.
Yes…it is a chip. If you truly wanted the ‘healthy’ benefits, the vegetable would be preferred. But sometimes, you just gotta have that salty, crunchy flavor of a chip. Well, when that happens, I recommend reaching for these.
I found quite a few intriguing flavors in their line-up. Do mind which you buy though. Not all of them are gluten-free. Those that are are kindly labeled on the bag (THANK YOU!!). So, the winning flavor that got to come home with me was one of their newest in their Exotic Vegetable Chips line-up. It’s the A La Mexicana flavor, which are chips made from tomato, black bean, and roasted garlic. It was intriguing. It sounded amazing. It was on sale. It was purchased…and consumed.
One of the main components of these chips that I fell in love with is how colorful they are. Honestly, it’s a rainbow of red, orange, whites, and purples when you pour them out of the bag. A serving size is an amazing 14 chips, which weighs in at about 150 calories. And bite-for-bite, each one packs a fabulous flavorful punch to the taste buds. These aren’t overly salty and don’t leave an oily residue on your hands. They have the most amazing crunch that is then followed up by the hints of Mexican seasonings that just make everything blend together perfectly. They are quite tasty and were a great pairing with my gluten-free (and dairy-free) grilled cheese sandwich that I consumed at midnight the other night after an event. I had the same thing the next day at lunch because it was so good!
I know, promoting reaching for a bag of chips to snack on isn’t the healthiest form of encouragement, but when they are made from real vegetables, lightly seasoned, taste amazing, and aren’t oily in the slightest, you feel a little better about doing it. I did. And I can’t wait to dig into other flavors out there.
