It's a nice Saturday afternoon. I'm relaxed and just enjoying the day. It's about time for my stomach to tell me it's time for a snack. I know I'm going to give into the feeling, so how can I sate my munchie hunger and still keep to the straight and narrow by eating healthy. watching my fat, and still getting all the taste? Tall order? Not really.
Earlier in the day I was planning for such an event, looking for some munchies that would give me all the taste without all the guilt...not that a little guilt isn't ok from time to time. So there I was in the market tracking down some sweet chips, when...shazam!...right there in front of me in all their splendor was a family of chips that promised to make my day. Catch this....Veggie Dippin' Chips. I'd never seen them before, but they come in flavors like Quinoa, Amaranth, and Black Sesame, and if that wasn't cool enough, the piece de resistance; Kale, Carrot, and Spinach. I felt like I had discovered munching nirvana. All the munchie goodness and all the health benefits of Quinoa, Kale, and Spinach. Wow, I had just found the Grand Slam of Chips.
Not that that wasn't good enough- then I focused like a laser on the salsa aisle. What great, healthy chip doesn't want to scoop up gobs of healthy salsa goodness? And there it was, the answer to my salsa dreams- peach and mango salsa.....and it was hot! Life doesn't get any better than this.
Off I went back to my place to languish away the rest of the afternoon soaking up chips and salsa goodness, knowing the incredible health benefits I was getting from my new chips and zero fat salsa. The rest of the afternoon went by in a blur. Reinforced by healthy chips and salsa I was able to meet the waning day's challenges with energy and vigor. Next time you're looking for a great snack break, think of chips and dip. Chips are getting healthier and healthier and the choices are expanding. Who knows, maybe you'll find your Grand Slam in your favorite market. I did.
