Beanitos Chips



I love Beanitos chips! My favorite flavor is Cheddar Cheese-(Pinto Bean and Flax). These chips are made from whole beans. Per 1 ounce serving, Beanitos have:
  • 4 grams complete protein
  • 5 grams fiber
  • 14 grams complex carbohydrates               (+/- 1 depending on item)
  • 7 grams fat (+/- 1 depending on item)
  • 140 calories (+/- 10 depending on item)
These chips are also low in sodium and gluten free! Beanitos are low-glycemic because they’re made from beans. And beans – unlike corn or potatoes – take longer to break down into glucose. This translates into a low glycemic value and more stable blood-glucose levels!

Beanitos are verified Non-GMO through the Non-GMO Project (www.nongmoproject.com).  Non-GMO is quickly becoming a requirement for the natural foods industry. This means Beanitos is taking the steps to minimize the possible introduction of any ingredients that have been bioengineered (genetically modified) so they are natural and good for you. Aside from all this healthy stuff, these chips taste great.  I love beans and try to eat them as often as I can. Beans are filled with health benefits – they are high in fiber, protein and complex carbohydrates.  

Beanitos has taken every possible precaution to make their chips good for you in every way. For some a side effect of beans is gas. Beanitos uses a natural proprietary process that eliminates the common side effects some people associate with eating beans. So try these chips, if you are looking for a healthy, yummy snack!
