What are people doing instead of chips these days?

Fresh cut fruit, crudite vegetable platters, home made bread sticks (grissni) or toast points, bruschetta with fresh diced tomatoes marinated in olive oil and sherry vinegar, we make various bean dips and soft cheese spreads, home made pickles, hard boiled eggs...so many options that are far healthier and tastier!

Yeah, me too, but they aren't chips. Ya know?

No, she’s loved celery since she was a toddler. Her weight is normal.

I still love chips but don't eat them often. Popcorn is the best snack. Sometimes when I'm really craving salt but know i shouldn't eat much, I drink a cup of chicken broth. The kind that's 25% daily sodium for one cup.

Pretzels, popcorn, handful of kid’s goldfish, trail mix.

I love potato chips but definitely have cut down a lot the last few years.

Good alternatives for me are marcona almonds with truffle salt, trail mix with chocolate bits, wasabi peas, pita chips with hummus, green harvest snaps, sliced peppers and cucumbers for dips, rice crackers.

Air popped popcorn, sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel seasoning.

So I spend a fortune on something called sprouted nuts- they're $$ but the texture is amazing and they taste so good and are so filling I no longer crave chips. Also a good supply fresh fruit right out on the kitchen bench where it's easy to grab.

I do so love a DCUM scientist!!
The chips ...like ALL FOODS WITH OIL MAY MAY MAY MAY become rancid but it is not, I repeat NOT rancid right out of the bag.

Yes let the chips sit for a year or leave them in your hot car for months and maybe they will go bad. But by default they are not.

Please don't believe all the bs here.

I've managed to cut out regular potato chips (how I miss them!) and have switched to tortilla chips, which are probably only slightly better. I also do Mary's Everything seed crackers. Skinny Pop popcorn (original, not the cheese), mixed nuts, raw trail mix.

If you're looking to reduce carbs, try Quest chips from Walmart or Sam's. They are usually in the health food area. Quest also makes cheeze-it type crackers. They are not a perfect substitute, but better than expected.

Sprinkle shredded cheese in small circles, flavor with herbs and seasonings then bake. Makes into a slightly crispy cracker suitable for dipping.

I've also tried chips from Sam's made out of chicken, but they were a little too spicy for me (and I usually like spicy).

For carb cutting, get low/no carb tortillas and cut into triangles, spray with olive oil, add sea salt and bake. Or pan "fry" in a bit of regular olive oil.
