I Have a New Addiction

October 4th is the anniversary of R and I deciding to change our eating habits. The first week was not so bad. R and I were very determined and driven to make a change. The second week found us wanting all the wrong foods we were used to eating, but we persevered and met our weight loss goals.

Throughout the last year I have eaten things like popcorn, veggie chips, granola bars, and trail mix to curb my desire for crunchy snacks. When I did eat chips, it was always the baked kind. Frankly, I think baked chips are boring and have no taste.

Many times I have passed by HEB's Multigrain Baked Pita Chips and thought, "I wonder if I could eat those?" The answer is, "YES!" R and I bought them for the first time a couple of weekends ago to take to a football viewing party. They were a huge hit! They taste wonderful and they are pretty healthy too.

The key to eating these chips is portion control, because you will want to eat the whole bag. I try to put a serving size in a ziploc bag and take only that amount to work for lunch or snacks. They are pretty filling and they have less sodium than most pita chips you find at the store. They're also cholesterol free and have zero grams of saturated fat.

Goodbye baked chips! I have found HEB's Multigrain Baked Pita Chips!!!

  1. Have you tried the Quaker mini rice cake snacks? I don't know what exactly they're called - they have a cheddar flavor that is SO good, it is *almost* like eating Cheetos. I love them :)
