Green Giant Veggie Chips Review: Wholesome Snacking For The Whole Family



I believe that every small step towards healthy lifestyle helps us reap giant  benefits in long run. Whether it is getting up 30 minutes early that your schedule to fit in a quick run or taking stairs instead of elevator, every effort counts when you are trying to live a healthy life. I also don't believe in starving myself or denying little pleasures associated with food. Specially because I want my little girl to develop a healthy relationship with food. Instead of eliminating food that are considered 'empty calories' I look for healthier substitutes for them. For my family, crunchy chips are a snack time treat that we all enjoy! So when I discovered that our tried and trusted brand Green Giant has launched new Veggie Snacks, I had to give them a try. The good people at Green asked me to review the Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips and BBQ flavored Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips. Both the snacks are made with whole grain, have zero percent trans fat and made with real vegetables! And they taste amazing too. I loved the mildly sweet taste of sweet potato with BBQ flavor, perfect with a greek-yogurt dip for an afternoon snack! The roasted veggie tortilla chips are hearty with a zest taste of cheddar cheese (without the technicolor glow of synthetic-y neon orange color on your fingers!!)
 For these yummy, wholesome snacks, I'd advise to make your own dips. I love making yogurt dip with Greek yogurt (either mix a cucumber-dill dip seasoning  or just chop some cucumber, mix with the yogurt and add some ground cumin, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper). Another healthy dip I like to make is my chickpea dip (very close to Hummus, but I don't add any olive oil). Just grind chickpeas (Garbanzo beans) with some roasted red pepper and sun dried tomatoes - dash of salt and pepper and you are done!
Sneak in some Edamame  (shelled soybeans) either as a garnish or grind it together with chickpeas!
