Eat Your Vegetables

On our last visit to Costco, we saw a bag of chips we had never seen before. It was called Eat Your Vegetables and made by Snikiddy (like the cheddar fries my mom has and that we liked), so we decided to try it. They only had one flavor at Costco - sea salt.

Our bag looks just like this except that it's the 20 oz size. (Of course it's huge, it's Costco!) The chips include actual vegetables so they're healthier (not as healthy as actual vegetables, but sometimes you just want a chip). This flavor has potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and navy beans.

Based on my first look and first few bites, the chips reminded me of those wonton chips you get at Chinese restaurants. I usually avoid those because they are so unhealthy. (Although, now that I'm thinking about it, they haven't had those chips recently either at restaurants or with takeout.) Unlike the wonton chips, these are actually (relatively) good for you and don't leave your hands full of oil and grease. After eating some more, they reminded me of potato skin chips (but they still smell like wonton chips to me). Either way, I liked them. A thought they were pretty good too.

Looking at the website, they also have jalapeno ranch and sour cream & onion flavors. We definitely want to try those. We really like sour cream & onion potato skins and ate an entire bag of the Tato Skins chips in one night when we found them a few years ago for the first time in a long time (speaking of which, haven't seen them since - any ideas?). Wonder how these will compare. If you've tried these, what do you think?
