AngiBowman says "What? I can be "healthy" AND get some veggies in to my diet?" about Flat Earth - Baked Veggie Crisps

If you watch more than 15 minutes of TV a week, most likely you've seen the Flying Pig commercial. When we first saw the commercial, we laughed. It's a Frito-Lays product and even if it IS semi-healthy and natural, it's still Frito-Lays. I remember fondly telling my husband, "Well, I bet they are terrible for you. I know I would never eat them!"

A few weeks later, I ate those words. Literally.

On a trip to see family, we were introduced to them. The bag, Farmland Cheddar, was in front of us and I couldn't help but already assume it would be disgusting. I had tried several other veggie chips that weren't quite the best.

I was wrong. I was so wrong. One bite and I was sold. Now we buy 2 bags a week! They are great with a meal, as a snack, at home, at work, etc.

Positives:

1) A decent variety: With 6 flavors, there's something for everyone. Three are veggie flavored (Farmland Cheddar, Tangy Tomato Ranch, Garlic and Herbs) and three are fruit flavored (Apple Cinnamon Grove, Peach Mango Paradise,...

I love crispy types of snacks, and find the veggie variety to be a great alternative to potato chips (and ever since the British court case which excluded Pringles from the potato tax liability because it only has 40% potato-nobody is saying what else is in those little uniform crisps-I have really decided to cool the whole potato chip thing.) I didn't find the veggie flavor distinctive or reminiscent of a particular favorite veggie, it just tasted different than potato chips. The crispiness is great-so it does satisfy the need for a noisy crunchy snack. When I went back to the store to investigate other products in this line, I found a berry based crisp that I really adored, it combined crisp with sweet and tart and all the great things you would associate with fresh berries. There was also an apple cinnamon variety that had real baked apple flavor. My reason for preferring the fruit varieties over the vegetable is that the veggie left a kind of grainy aftertaste. And I kind......

vivasuzi says "Not bad, not bad at all." about 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. ...

I saw these on TV with the flying pig commercial and it caught my attention. I am always attracted to healthier snacks (that I can actually stomach!). This has some Vitamin A in them, which is what most of us are lacking in our fast diets nowadays.

When I was in the grocery store; I spotted them in the produce section and decided, why not? So, I picked up a bag of the cheddar-flavored ones (cheese-a-holic that I am).

I brought them home and when I opened them up I was delighted with the aroma of fresh cheese on a baked crisp. I dove right in. I don't think I came up for air again until the bag was 1/3 gone!

It hasn't even been a week yet, but the bag is nearly gone (pacing myself)...

I will definitely buy again!

Manda-Patriche says "Dangerously Addictive" about Flat Earth - Baked Veggie Crisps

My fiance' brought these back from a flight he had gone on. The small snack size was yummy but I hadn't seen any in the stores we shop in. Just today we were in Target and saw them on the shelf. We started snacking as soon as we got home and we both commented on how addictive these were. The flavor and texture are wonderful! Makes you feel good about snacking knowing that you're getting vitamins and daily servings of veggies. Yum! Will definitely become my next un-guilty pleasure. :)...

I have tried several flavors and like the tomato flavor the best. The fruit flavors were ok but I would have to choose the savory over them. Great new product and worth a try if you are looking for a healthier snack alternative....

Like most folks that have been diagnosed with Diabetes, I became a manic label reader. Not that I didn't read labels before, but now I look for other things besides just calories and fats, weighing each gram of carbohydrate against that of fiber. I'd already cut down on eating a lot of chips and other snacks to try to keep my beefy figure from becoming porky, but now that I know these junk foods can kill me, I've begun missing them. That's why these Flat Earth Baked Veggie Crisps caught my eye.

The packaging looks more like something you'd see at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's than sitting o display by the checkout at Dominicks, so I took a look. They're a bit more expensive than most chips, so they weren't an easy impulse buy, but the unusual flavors intrigued me, along with the fact they were being touted as some sort of "healthy" snack, or ay least less unhealthy.

The six flavors are divided between 'fruity' and 'non-fruity'. The fruity ones are Apple Cinammon Grove, Wild Berry Patch and...
