I’ll admit it, every once in awhile I just want a crunchy little snack I can grab on the go, give to my kids on the run, and not feel guilty about it.
So many chip/cracker products are loaded with chemicals, additives, preservatives and sugar, that often times, you’re not even consuming real food. It’s basically lab-made snacks that are empty in calories and nutrition.
But that’s not the case with these guys..
Bearitos Veggie Puffs is a great alternative to many “puffs” that are on the market.
I started looking for alternatives once I realized the brand we normally get has dairy in it, something I avoid, whey and citric acid.
Dairy- is very inflammatory and has a protein in it, casein, that’s been linked to cancer.
Citric acid- while it’s marketed as “safe” by the FDA and can derive from actual lemon juice, it can also come from sugar-fed black mold, produced very inexpensively this way.
It’s also an ingredient found in many cleaning products. Good for taking mineral deposits off of chrome! (Imagine what that can do to your stomach?!) So… since I don’t really know what I’m getting with this ingredient, I just try to avoid it at all cost.
One serving is just 1 ounce and while it’s not a lot, it is enough to give you a “chip-fix,” which is all I’m really looking for out of this bag.
You can also count the ingredients on two hands and, as you can see, it’s all real/whole foods.
A processed food, that isn’t hard to process. Real food=better for you!
