Is it possible to become addicted to a potato chip? Well I may need rehab!
Before I began my healthy eating lifestyle potato chips were
one of my favorite snacks. I stayed away
from them completely because I felt there was no healthy alternative that was
palatable for me. I hate the baked chips
and am leery of the chips fried in Olean, so I just stayed away completely.
While wondering around the supermarket on day I stumbled up
Good Health Kettle Style Avocado Oil Potato Chips. My first thought, these couldn’t possibly be
good…avocado oil not so sure about that.
Being the foodie that I am, and the fact they were on sale, I decided to
try them. I bought the Sea Salt and
Barcelona Barbecue flavors (on sale 2 for $5).
Even after getting them home I was still hesitant and let them sit in
the cabinet for a few days. I finally
decided to take them to work with me to eat with my sandwich. Love at first bite and they are good for you
too, I am in heaven.
I started with the Sea Salt flavor and it was absolute
perfection. The chip was hearty and
crisp but not as hard as some other kettle chip brands I have tried. You absolutely do not taste any avocado
flavor and there is no after taste. I
watch my salt intake due to high blood pressure and have become very sensitive
to too much salt. Each serving of these
chips come in at around 100mg of salt per serving and it is the perfect amount
of salt for the chips. The next day I
tore into the barbecue flavor and it did not disappoint. The chips have the right amount of barbecue
flavor again without being too salty.
These potato chips are kettle cooked in all natural pure avocado
oil. The Avocado is an amazing fruit full of anti-oxidants, monounsaturated fat
(“the good fat”) and loads of nutrients.
By cooking the chips in all natural avocado oil, Good Health Natural
Foods harnesses the energy of the "good fat" in Avocados that is
helpful in reducing LDL cholesterol while maintaining HDL cholesterol levels
important for a balanced diet. The mild flavor of Avocados provides no
funny after taste and leaves room for great flavors, like Chilean Lime. Cooking
the chips kettle style ensures a hearty, crispy chip, which is what I love when
it comes to potato chip eating.

stop eating them. I am not proud of
this, but I ate the entire 5 oz bag.
