Flat Earth - Baked Veggie Crisps — 

The cafeteria at my work was giving out Flat Earth Baked Veggie Crisps for free, probably because they are going to start selling them soon.  I choose the Farmland Cheddar flavor because I love cheese, and the other flavor was tomato which I'm not fond of. 

Tonight I was in the mood for a snack, and these were handy, so I tried them.  It turns out, they are quite good!

Taste
The Cheddar version starts out tasting a little bit like White Cheddar Cheez-its, which I like.  After you get past that part, the rest tastes decent, not bad, but no real flavor to it.  The taste is acceptable and did satisfy my craving for a late night snack.  The crunchiness of it is more like Wheat Thins rather than chips, so don't be fooled by the chip bag that it comes in.

Health
The real reason these are sold is for the health benefits.  The bag claims 1/2 serving of Real Veggies in every ounce.  With the bag being 1 and 1/4 oz, that means you are getting almost a full serving of veggies by eating this.  Don't get me wrong, that's great, but why couldn't they squeeze a little more veggie in to make it 1 solid serving of veggies!

One bag has 170 calories and 6g of fat, which is definitely healthier than most chips.  As I was eating it, I thought for sure I'd still be hungry after, but I'm not.  It did fill me up and stopped me from eating a less healthy snack. 

Summary
They taste good enough to satisfy a snack craving, and they do have the additional health benefits that most snacks do not have.  However, they are not the most satisfying snack out there so you may still crave the unhealthy chips at times.  I think I will start buying these to avoid the unhealthy snacks, but they will by no means replace the cheetoos and doritos that I crave at times.  Pack them in your kids lunches, I bet they will like them.  Enjoy!!

I had some veggie chips at a friends house that were really good but I can't remember the name of them...these sound pretty darn good! ;)

They are pretty good, course in this house anything that even is sort of "cheezy" is a hit!
