So many foods out there right now are overly processed or hiding behind a guise of “natural” when they are not. So to find a snack food that really is made naturally and without the use of things like artificial colors, preservatives, flavors or GMOs, makes me happy! Simply 7 sent me their new line of quinoa chips in exchange for my honest opinion. I received the following quinoa snack flavors: Sea Salt, Barbeque, Cheddar and Sour Cream & Onion.
What did I think?
Simply 7 Quinoa chips are simply amazing! Seriously! Who knew you could get such a great tasting snack food made with such great ingredients? These quinoa chips are vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free and have no trans fat, too!
My family was excited to have a snack chip in the house that they could actually eat and in flavors you would see by the potato chip brands. Miss LadyBug was over the moon for the Barbeque flavor – this hickory smoked flavor has just a hint of sweet and is delicious all on its own – a definite win in the barbeque chip arena!
Miss Goose really loved the Cheddar quinoa chips! The lightly sharp bite of an aged cheddar is tasty and leaves you feeling satisfied. This chip definitely will give you the sense you are eating something naughtier than you really are!
My favorite (which was a tough call!) was the Sour Cream & Onion quinoa chip. Now, I have always had a soft spot for sour cream and onion chips, but had not found one that would not leave me feeling completely guilty afterward either from the nutrition value or the ingredients (or both!). I am happy to say that I have found a guilt-free version now with the Simply 7 quinoa chips! The light airy crunch of the chip is countered by the creamy sour cream flavor and garden-fresh onion and veggie seasoning. I am loving this chip!
The Sea Salt chip was voted in our house as the perfect multi-purpose chip! With a great crunch and lightly salted taste – this chip was great alone, but perfected as a dip vessel! Salsas, creamy dips, even with my black bean and corn dip – this chip was amazing!
