@RowdysLady we don't have them in our Seven Points location
I guess I will have to look out your way next time. Although microwave cheese chips are good too.
@kpk54 2 net carbs for 12 chips or 3 total carbs per 12 chips- worth it if you don't have time to make at home0 -

28g is more than 12 chips, I've measured.
Another reason to use the food scale - sometimes you get more than what it says on the bag! 0 -
Pork rinds are awesome. And trader joes makes parsnip chips which taste just like sweet potato chips and only 3G carbs2

Quest nutrition does make several "flavors" of protein chips...I tried one....once. nothing about them really tempted a repeat of that adventure but I do see folks eating them from time to time...so I guess I could be the odd one out. I see them at GNC in case you want to try them out.0

Ended up getting the Trader Joes parsnip chips. Oh my. They are dangerous. Soooo good.
I also picked up their broccoli. Not nearly as good, but still a shade better than pork rinds.

I looked at our local (Northern Virginia) Trader Joe's yesterday, and no luck. Where are you folks that have the parsnip chips at your TJ's?0

North Carolina.
@lowjax75: that is what I was afraid of...too good. I do plan to get some for my beach trip in July so I won't be tempted by crackers with dips.0 -
I smuggled some TJ's broccoli into Canada the last time I was in LA1

I bought a bag of this last weekend at the local co-op. I really didn't care for it. I gave it to the nephew. lol Now there are 2 cheese( just real cheese and seasonings) products sold at Costco that are pretty tasty.I also like 1/2 oz of nuts or 5 grams of shredded coconut flakes mixed in a bowl with 10 grams of dark chocolate. microwave until chocolate is mixable and refrigerate! Yum
Now this sounds amazing! I'm going to try it, I have everything for it, if macadamia nuts work for the nut part.

And peanut butter...
Blue cheese mixed with sour cream
Tuna salad or chicken salad
...so many things you can enjoy with celery. I love celery.1 -
@robeylori Seven Points! So close we are. My in laws live out there. I agree that we can make our own yummy crunchy cheese. I was making that as a guilty pleasure before this WOE and draining all the fat off that melted out in the microwave. Now I can eat it with no guilt! If you really want to find the cheese look in the deli section at Brookshire's - where the hard salami and pepperoni is kept on a little kiosk in front of or near the deli counter. That's where I found it.0

@KnitOrMiss - Thank you for that link. I see some yummy things in my future!1

I got that sample from Bulletproof or someone of the Primal Kitchen Dark Chocolate Almond Bars. Crunchy from the nuts, and chewy, but I wouldn't give it my seal of approval. Barely any taste. I guess it was filling - maybe the grass-fed collagen and coconut oil? Maybe down the road again they'll taste better to me... But not something I'd recommend unless you've utterly obliterated any hint of a sweet tooth. Very odd taste and texture. But good to stash in your purse or desk for a rainy day!0

@KnitOrMiss - that's how I feel about Quest Bars. I tried chocolate and chocolate peanut butter YUCK! and for the record....hard to choke down...so dense!0

Yeah, I'm SO not a fan of quest bars. The first one I had used sucralose and was insta-migraine. The second one was stevia only, but still wasn't worth it...0

@KnitOrMiss @RowdysLady I think Quest changed the formula and it really changed the taste and texture. I do not eat them much anymore.
If I want a protein bar - I choose the ONE bars from Oh Yeah! They have different series of bars but the ONE bars are the ones that are lower carb. I like the mint chocolate one - that used to be my go-to flavour for Quest but this one is better than Quest. The peanut butter pie one tastes like Reese's, and birthday cake is yummy as well.

Mac's brand pork rinds come in several flavors. I like salt & vinegar.1

This looks like it could be a really yummy crunchy snack!
