I can eat a lot of celery, salad, raw veg and alike, but what I crave is crisps and would really like to find a healthy alternative.

Anyone have any substitutes for that particular type of "nom nom nom loveliness" I would be eternally grateful

thanks

    I'm a potato chip addict so I needed something crunchy, too. I really like Special K savory herb crackers. :-D

    If you like these then you will love them, Lightly salted Roasted Seaweed, Crisp Salty Only 60 calories for the whole package and they are extremely low in sodium 3% of your daily value. I buy them 20 at a time they are only a dollar at trader joe's. You just can't beat that.

    PopChips are amazing

    22 of them for 120 calories! My favorite are the seasalt and vinegar ones! SO GOOD.

    They aren't baked or fried, just apply pressure and heat until they "pop"

    i've heard people suggest homemade kale chips. i'm not a chippy person, so i never looked into it, but i assume Google has the information you need.

    Quaker makes mini rice cakes that are flavored like chips. It's a great substitute for me!

    love the Special K Cracker Chips.... 27-30 chips are 110 calories. they do have 200+ mg of sodium though.

    Chips are my down fall.....I've been snacking on Pringles Stix (they come in a few flavours - my fav is jalapeño) and also Lays Baked chips which again come in different flavours - I find the dill pickle yummy. If you like cheezies, they have a baked Cheetos that come in the pre-portioned packages which are tasty as well.......ugg, it's only 8:52 a.m. and now I want CHIPS - haha! :drinker:

    if it's just for you, you can make your own - fat free, with a potato and a microwave

    http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Microwave-Potato-Chips/Detail.aspx

    I've done this before, but I didn't have the parchment paper, so I lightly sprayed my plate with a little oil, just make sure to slice the potatoes thin (a mandolin would help)

    I like Seneca apple chips. I'm not sure if you can get them outside of the US though. So good!
