The 3 Best Potato Chip Replacements

I don't know about you, but I tend to get snacky when I study. The smaller meals I'm eating these days coupled with the dry boredom of textbooks always does me in. But what to eat? I eat fruit, veggies, yogurt, and granola bars, but I always miss eating chips. I just crave something salty and crunchy! But I certainly don't want to stuff my face with notoriously unhealthy fried, processed potatoes.

So I took a trup down my grocery aisle and discovered these yummy, satisfying snacks. Just remember: Follow the portion sizes or you can easily eat way too much and defeat the purpose.

Ritz Chips are Ritz crackers redesignd to be more crunchy and chip-like. They come in flavours like cheddar and sour cream and onion, and at 150 calories per 30g serving and 5g of fat (half that in a serving of Lay's potato chips!) they're definitely a great choice.

Special K Cracker Chips are pretty new to the market. My mom bought a box. They don't have quite the same crunch as a chip, but the taste definitely more than makes up for it. And they're 110 calories for a generous 27-cracker portion, so I'm definitely going to keep these in my cupboard!

No one I know likes Triscuit, but I love them! They might be an acquired taste, but they're definitely worth a try. They come in a range of interesting flavours, like Rosemary & Olive Oil and Roasted Tomato & Olive Oil. They're around 120 calories and 4g of fat per serving.
