Alternative to chips?
Replies

I really like apple slices or celery with humus for crunchy snacks. Kettle chips are not super heavy in calories either.0
-
I like pop chips and popcorn chips [they are new] taste like popcorn and come in different flavors.0

Some people may say ewww, that's ok Anyway I have dehydrated mushrooms and zuccini and added a dash of garlic salt to them. I've gotten pre -teens to eat them so they can't be all bad. :laugh:0

Baby Carrots and if you need to mask the taste a dab of ranch on the side!0

Homemade zucchini chips!!!
Slice zucchini extremely thin (about thickness of a quarter). Spray pan with nonstick spray such as Smart Balance Omega. Lay out zucchini slices, sprinkle with a SMALL amount of salt and another quick spray of oil. Bake at 225 for about 1.5 hours. DELICIOUS.0 -

Deep fried potato products are really best avoided. there are lots of nice crunchy healthier snacks you can have instead.0

I slice sweet potatos real real thin and put them in the dehydrator...make chewy chips that will really fill you up0

Slice a potato in wedges, and boil in water with salt, until soft. Drain the potatoes. Cover them in a little oil Then broil the wedges. They'll be crisp and have a nice color. Add spices of your preference. Buon appetite!0

Fat Free Pringles (70 calories/15 chips!), flavored rice cakes, or bake your own tortilla chips. I use Mission Extra Thin 6" Corn Tortillas, cut them into pieces, put them on a sprayed cookie sheet, spray the tortillas with spray butter, sprinkle with salt (or any other spice) and bake them @ 310 for 20 minutes. YUMMO
These all help the crunchy, salty cravings and keep you satisfied.0 -
Pop Chips, Sun Chips has a new natural and multigrain line that's good, baked chips, Kale Chips, Veggie Chips... lot's of healthy alternative options out there. Most grocery stores have a section dedicated to healthier snack choices
Stay away from the "100 calorie" pack stuff. Those have more fat and are filled with stuff that's just not healthy!!0 -
Walmart sells smart chips.. they are straw shaped chips I normally get the veggie or the barbeque they are yummy and half the cals.carbs as noraml chips.. they arent in the chip isle they are with the snack stuff I always find them by the quacker rice cakes and such.. :-)
I love to make apple chips also for my son.. just cut up apple into slices and bake them at 350 for about 10-15 minutes depending how crispy you like them.. for a little treat I top them with cinnamon before baking :-)0 -
I use Goldfish crackers as my chip replacement. You can have 55 Goldfish for 140 calories and it feels like you are getting a lot of crackers. 55 can go a long way with a sandwich or a bowl of soup.0

pork rinds. still get the crunch...no carbs.0

Special K cracker crisps 110 calories for 30 chips.

You can slice vegetables and bake them into chips with sprinkled seasoning. For example I make kale chips and green squash chips! Google it0

I get veggie straws from Costco, totally a great alternative!0

I typically have a sandwhich and chips - well usually cheeto's or frito's because that's what I have in the house for the kids. Now that I'm trying to eat healthier I need an alternative. I'm not huge on salads, I'll eat them but I don't necessarily like how they taste if I make them the night before and I don't have a lot of time in the morning to put stuff together. I also can't seem to make myself eat raw veggies either.
Roasted chick peas, flavored any way you like.0 -
salted roasted almonds or other nuts.
I had to just break the addiction altogether. If you NEED something crunchy, the above mentioned things are all good choices. I enjoyed the veggie chips, but they fueled my need for chips. But, that's just *me*.0 -

Trader joes has veggie chips that are VERY tasty... $1.99 per bag and then i put the correct serving sizes in baggies so they are easy to grab and go
^^^^ Agreed!!! Sometimes I'll get the baked cheese poofs too (35 poofs for 130 cals = not great but waaay better than cheetos!) but sometimes I have a hard time sticking to one serving- the veggie chips/straws are really good too but I'm less likely to binge on them so I'd recommend those more highly. Pretzels (regular or honey-wheat) aren't as bad as chips either- less fat (sometimes no fat) and you still get the salty-crunchy- I particularly like the small bags of bavarian pretzels- since they're bigger, they take longer to eat so I'm more likely to stick to the serving size.0 -
Baby carrots & hummus is my go to side with a sandwich. Or pretzels. I recently found a recipe on pinterest for squash & zucchini chips where you slice them thin, season and bake. I haven't tried yet but plan to make some this weekend. Im sure you can google and find a similar recipe.0

100 calorie packs of Smartfood popcorn. - That is my fav!
and also Special K Cracker Chips Salsa Ranch flavor... Yumm0 -
I agree with the special K cracker crisps.. Taste almost similar to Munchos if you have ever had them, But they come in plain, sour cream and onion, chedder and ranch, I have had them all and they all rock, and You get a nice serving size of them for 110 cals0

I like pita chips, pretzels, pop chips or popcorner chips (which are like pop chips).0
