@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 home

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!

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.

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?

I smuggled some TJ's broccoli into Canada the last time I was in LA

Moon Cheese. Tastes like cheez-its. It's ungodly expensive at Starbucks, but I've read you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

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.

@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.

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!

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...

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