Okay i know that fresh salsa is the way to go for a healthy snack and i put it on practically every meal :happy:
but when i dont have time for a meal or when i just want salsa (not a salad with salsa as dressing, or the whole taco, etc) how should i eat it? i mean i know most chips have so much fat and salt and i was just wondering if anyone had any good ideas for a chip or cracker or anything i can dip my salsa with ?? thanks! :tongue:

    Last week I made some awesome baked tortilla chips. I used whole wheat tortillas (cut up) and sprayed them with veg. oil spray (like Pam). Then, I baked them at 375 for about 10-15 minutes. Just keep an eye on them. You could lightly salt them, too. Now, they weren't as good as the fried kind, but they were pretty good and very crispy.

    I dip celery and carrots in salsa all the time. It fills that crunch, salty, snack void for me.

    Lay's makes baked tortilla chips - they aren't the same, but still pretty tasty with some salsa!

    I eat the "garden of eatin'" brand organic blue corn tortilla chips, the no salt added ones have only 10mg of sodium per serving and I think 140 calories. I know it's not really low calorie, but I love them with salsa and anytime I can cut the sodium on stuff I'm all for that!
