I ordered 2 boxes (BBQ--and Cheddar) from The vitamin shoppe. If you join the site you get 10% off coupon sent to your email. This brings the price to $32.38 (FREE SHIPPING) for 16 bags @ 2.03 a bag ( better than what I paid at GNC They were $2.84 a bag. I stopped at another GNC yesterday that is a family owned store and they were $2.99 a bag!
(I am a GNC member and this price beats the member price)0 -
I had my 5 week post-op appt today so while I was in that town, I stopped in at 1 of their GNC's.
Their deal was buy 1 for $3 or buy 3 get the 4th free which was like paying $2.25 each.
I explained to the guy that Id heard about the chips but that w/out wanting to commit to the "deal" I wanted to try the cheddar 1 (knowing I like this as a regular chip flavor).
Looking at the bag, the chips look like theyd be hard...its just a mild flavor to the regular chips but light and airy w/ a little bit of a crunch/crisp...I
them!!
THANK YOU KGLOWINS for starting this thread!
I would never have known otherwise since I don't usually shop at the GNC (just not close enough).
I plan on using these mainly for protein on the go as theyre very portable and convenient!
I got the cheddar/sour cream, sour cream/onion and salt/vinegar because I know these flavors from regular chips...wasn't too sure of the sea salt and Im not much of a bbq person.
Ive only had 1 single hamburger patty from my husbands burger 1 time while being out but I still prefer to take my own things...for the time being.
So my thought for the next time Im out is to make tuna fish w/ light mayo and use my chips to grab the tuna with!
Total: 255 cals~7 carbs~43 protein!
I know several people who do fine on their protein...I still struggle to aim for minimum of 70 a day while keeping my carbs and total cals down.
Sure I could get more protein in a lot of different ways but its going to take me 2 meals to get the same protein as this example and most likely a lot more of everything else that I don't need!0 -
Glad that you like them--I needed the crunch!0
-
Okay, the tuna fish idea is a really good one. I'm not nuts about this stuff as chips, but using them as crackers to hold stuff is a good idea.0
-
Yeah, this is going to be a pretty quick and very convenient meal to grab and go with...cant wait to take this w/ me tomorrow while out shopping (running errands)
IDK what protein bar can meet these #'s and only 1 sugar

I may have to use them to eat my hummus too---this way I limit the crackers0

coupon no good anymore.
I did like the chips with mozzerella melted on them, so that's how I'll use them.0 -
Great suggestion Author, hadn't thought of that!
I have some weight watchers cheese sticks that I didn't care for like the original sticks but maybe melted theyd taste better
What flavor chips did you try this with?!?0 -
I did it last night with the sour cream and onion chips and the night before with barbecue chips. It feels kind like nachos. I used fresh mozzerella because I had an open package in the fridge, but decided I'd prob use less cheese by grating colby/jack or somesuch. also, I'll try adding diced tomatoes, maybe the petite diced by Del Monte with a little bit of heat. I have a bunch of cans of that in the pantry and would probably taste really good. The chips are completed different heated with a little melted cheese on them. I might even order more of them if I continue to like them like that. It does provide some crunch and is a satisfying snack.0
-
Are you heating them in the oven or microwave?0
-
microwave. I'm lazy. but the oven would probably be better because they'd come out crisper. But I'm one of those types that likes this kind of thing a little soggy.0
-
LOL I like them in the microwave too0
