Walk into any supermarket and you’ll find an aisle lined with healthy chip alternatives. Only problem is, not every option in that aisle (despite what the packaging may suggest) is actually, well, healthy.
More often than not, they are still packed with sodium, saturated fat and artificial flavours and preservatives making them not too dissimilar from conventional packet chips found in the next aisle over.
Don’t know where to start? Here is a round-up of some of our favourite veggie chip alternatives that tick all the right boxes when it comes to flavour, ingredients and nutritional value.
1. Off The Eaten Path Pea & Pinto Bean Sticks - Sea Salt
Made with pinto beans, peas and white beans, this delicious chip alternative contains no artificial colours, flavours or MSG. Find this in your August Box! Shop here.
2. Proper Crisps Garden Medley
All-natural and containing minimal ingredients (as in, simply just seasonal varieties of kumara, carrot, beetroot, parsnip, high oleic sunflower oil and sea salt), these veggie chips are a great alternative to packet potato chips containing less saturated fat and sodium per serve.
3. X50 Broccoli Chips
