Need a CRUNCHY alternative to chips
Hey Guys!!
I haven't been on the boards in AGES! But I'm going to try to make it a point to check in more often. I am 4.5 years post op and doing great! But everynow and then, I need a reminder about the basics to keep me on track.
Looking through some of my old recipes this weekend, I found a really tasty crab and shrimp dip and a recipe for spinach and artichoke dip that I used to absolutely LOVE!! Totally DS friendly too! Trouble is, I used to eat them with tortilla chips or toasted pita chips!
Anybody got any suggestions for something chip-like CRUNCHY to eat with my dips? Don't go there with pork rinds (I am not a fan). But every now and then, I want something CHIP like.
On another snacking note, my new latest obscession is hummus with sweet potato chips. I'm not sure of the carb count there (I'm turning a blind eye for the moment because it's satisfying my CRUNCH criteria! LOL)

Well, I would say carrots but those are pretty carb-heavy too and I'd rather just have a multigrain cracker. Usually with things like that, I just eat it with a spoon and have a few crackers on the side. My favorite cracker right now are the fabulous 100% whole wheat Wheat Thins. Regular wheat thins have white flour in them, but these do not.
Ooooooo.....I have not seen these Wheat Thins. I have overlooked Wheat Thins for a while b/c I don't want too much flour. I might add Triscuits as an idea. They are 100% whole wheat and quite tasty. I like the thick ones, but usually get the thins because I can have "more" of them per serving. I also LOVE making the cheese crisps as a chip replacement. I put deli meat and cheese on the crisps and they are lovely.

What about making some cheese crisps? they are crunchy and great with dips
(and full of protein)

Renee,
I like the way you think. That is exactly what I think happens to the popcorn carbs that I eat totally SLATHERED in butter, so why wouldn't the same thing happen to corn chips.
Now I need to find dips that are very fatty. The dip I love the most is high protein but not so high in fat.
Hugs,
Becky
