With any delicious dip, you must have a tasty chip. In the past several years, an influx of tortilla chip alternatives has hit market shelves. These chips are made with a variety of healthy ingredients and are pretty darn tasty. Here are seven you must try.
Cabo Chips (pictured above)
If you’re looking for a better-for-you, authentic-tasting tortilla chip, look no further. Cabo has four flavors already on market shelves, with the Original flavor containing five ingredients. All Cabo chips are vegan, gluten-free, 100 percent whole grains, and Non-GMO Project Verified. In June 2015, Cabo is launching an Ancient Grain chip made with teff, chia, amaranth and more than 100 milligrams of Omega-3s per serving. I got to taste these new Ancient Grain chips and all I can say is, “Oh, my, wow!”
