Yesterday after our run, my friend and I were talking about food. (Are there better topics?) 
As running increases, so does the appetite. When you’re at work all day, it’s sometimes a challenge to find healthy snacks. I ran to the grocery store last night for a few bare necessities and realizing I had a coupon for Flat Earth Crisps, decided to try them. I bought two bags, one Apple Cinnamon Grove and one Garlic & Herb Field.
While I not sure what groves or fields are supposed to taste like, I do know that I’m fairly certain I’ve found a somewhat decent snack to add to my snack collection (which currently includes baby carrots, yogurt, Kettle Valley Fruit Snacks and Girl Scout cookies).
The 6th ingredient in one of the two flavors is pumpkin. Guess which one. Garlic & Herb Field. Yeah, that must be the field taste! These are baked, and you get a half serving of veggies in one serving of these chips…crisps (12 crisps per serving), they are bursting with flavor and have just the right amount of crunch.
As for the grove of apple cinnamon trees, my first impression was “whew, way too sweet”. Possibly that’s because chips, er, crisps just aren’t supposed to be sweet, but, eh, too sweet nevertheless.
Although not something you can snack on 24/7 (did you notice all of those qualifiers like “fairly” and “somewhat”?) and think you’re eating super-healthy (because you’re not!), they would make a great alternative to chips, to eat once a week or so. A nice break from the usual without overloading on fat.
Besides, if you visit the Flat Earth website, you can print two coupons for a free bag of chips crisps! Free food is always good!
