I have bought this very yummy mango salsa that I would like to eat with some chips, but 1 serving of most tortilla chips is 140 calories and not that much fiber or protein to help keep me from getting hungry again so soon. Also do not want to eat this salsa with veggies or anything.. don't think that would taste very good. So I'm looking for chip ideas, would like something maybe whole grain, low cal.. would like more fiber and/or protein. I know they've got to be out there!!

    Tostitos makes a new multi-grain tortilla chip that is super satisfying.

    I like the whole grain wheat thins. I have 9 crackers with my laughing cow cheese wedge every day around 11 and am full till 1:30 when I eat lunch! I'm not sure about the exact protein content but they are filling! Enjoy the salsa

    I use tortillas whole wheat flat bread. I put it in the oven for a few minutes to crisp it up. I cut it into easy pieces to pick up salsa and enjoy. I also use it to make pizza full of veggies.

    Tostitos has some great multigran chips I love the black bean and roasted garlic chips. Also pringles offers multigrain chips as well.

    Why use chips? I have used some mango salsa on just about everything... I put it on egg whites, ground turkey, fish and in salads.. makes for great sauce on anything other than chips. Just suggestion if you looking for ideas for the mango salsa doesn't have to be on chips.
    If your trying to lose weight, stay away from chips.. people will always eat more then the serving amount.. :)

    Took the words right out of my mouth.
    Salsa is fantastic on lots of things - fish, eggs, chicken, cooked beans.
    Stay away from snacky fillers like chips - they're bad news.

    I do that too. Cut up a whole wheat tortilla or whole wheat pita bread and bake 'em up crispy.

    I eat gluten free so I have found ways to get my chip fix...cassava (yucca) chips are delicious as are baked lentil chips...both you can have a ton of chips for 150 calories and no sugars, grains or chemicals!

    what about these: http://www.marysgonecrackers.com/product_info.php?products_id=1

    Or try making your own pita/tortilla chips in the oven! baked corn tortillas are wayyy too good :bigsmile:

    Very true that salsa is super versatile though. I eat homemade salsa with/on EVERYTHING... stews, hummus, veggies, salads, pitas, wraps, you name it!

    I like Guiltless Gourmet blue corn tortilla chips. I don't eat them too often (2x a week max) so they are more of a treat for me, but for 18 chips it's only 120 calories..... really not too bad as far as chips go. They make other varieties too (like black bean chips) that I believe have similar or the same calorie content

    My faves:

    Special K Cracker Chips - 110 calories per serving --> 30 of the Sea Salt flavor or 27 of the Sour Cream and Onion
    2 Mission Tortille Extra Thin Corn Tortillas - cut into eighths and bake on a sheet pan in the oven --> 16 tortilla chips for 80 calories
    Humbles Baked Hummus Chips - 120 calories per 1oz serving (about the same number as Special K chips)
    Mr. Krispers baked Rice Krisps - 120 calories per serving --> 35-38 krisps per serving

    thanks for all the ideas!! I do eat regular salsa on my eggs and stuff (really as a replacement for ketchup love it!), but the mango salsa is sweet so to me it is kinda yucky to put it on much else besides some kind of carb. This might sound pretty limited to some, but I know my palate. lol.

    Thanks again!!!

    I use pretzels for everything!: hummus, salsa, guac, dips.... but wheat thins and some of the whole grain tortilla chips can work well too. They have a lot out there in the chip section, just look at the calories, and be read to fork out a little extra money because healthy food always costs more. ugh!
