Well, yes. Kashi has made crunchy and nutritious possible! How? Good question. The answer: hummus and whole grains.
If you're like me, hummus was not a regular part of your diet. I've always thought of chickpeas as a great ingredient to 3-bean salad! (I also think of them as garbanzos, but that's another story.)
When Bzzagent gave me the opportunity to try Kashi Hummus Crisps for free, I was curious to see if they'd live up to the buzz. I knew they wouldn't taste like potato chips, and I was right. They're better than potato chips! The texture is different--thicker, crunchier. My free bag was the Sea Salt and Olive Oil. I was so impressed, I went out looking for the other two flavors.
At first, I could only find the Caramelized Onion. They reminded me of a crispy friend onion snack I used to eat before becoming so health-conscious. I was so pleasantly surprised. They're delicious.
The next shopping trip, I was able to find the Sundried Tomato, Basil & Feta. To me, they taste like crunchy little pizza crisps.
The only caveat is this: you'll need to watch how many you eat. A serving size of around 27 crisps comes in at 120 calories. That's pretty good. However, if you like them as much as I do, you'd better measure them out in advance to avoid going over your calorie limit. They're so good, you could probably eat an entire bag at one sitting!
