Potato chips aren’t exactly a healthy snack, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a kid who would turn them down. What if there was a snack that tasted just as good as traditional fried chips, but without all the unhealthy stuff? Enter Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps. Available in Original with Sea Salt, Szechuan Pepper & Fresh Chives, Fresh Onion & Fresh Garlic and Black Pepper & Sea Salt varieties, each contains nothing but potatoes and seasoning.
How is this possible? The chips are freeze-dried, so they’re crispy like regular potato chips but without any oil. We tried the Fresh Onion & Fresh Garlic and Black Pepper & Sea Salt varieties and loved them both. Fair warning, though--the onion and garlic flavor won’t exactly leave your breath smelling fresh, and the pepper and salt flavor has a bit of a kick (of course, I’m a big wimp when it comes to spice). The company also offers Fruit Crisps in several varieties including Fuji Apple, Asian Pear, Peach and Strawberry Banana. Again, nothing but freeze-dried fruit in these snacks, which leaves the crisps light, airy and irresistible. The Potato Crisps contain 35-45 calories per bag and the Fruit Crisps contain 30-70 calories per bag--not bad for a tasty snack.
Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps retail for $.75-$1 per bag and the Fruit Crisps retail for $.89-$1.19 per bag. Both can be found at Costco, Whole Foods and other retailers. For more information visit www.brothersallnatural.com.
