The beginning of the school year is drawing near. As a wife and a mother I am always looking for healthy snacks. My son is not old enough for school yet, but my husband is. He spends his working day in school, he comes home for a few minutes to grab a snack and say hi to the family before he heads out to his evening classes at Ohio State University. I like to give my husband and my toddler something that is packed full of goodness and that can be eaten without a lot of fuss.
I want to tell you about a snack that is ideal for my busy family.Beanitos are a unique alternative to a potato or corn chip. They are non GMO, they are low glycemic, full of fiber and gluten free. They are made from beans, as you might have gathered from the name.
About Beanitos:
Brothers Doug and Dave Foreman established Beanitos to develop delicious and nutritious food products. Because of the numerous health benefits, their research focused development on products based on the humble legume. With this mission,Beanitos®, Inc. is committed to creating a variety of great tasting and healthy bean-based foods. Beanitos The Original Bean Chips are the initial products brought to market, and the Bean Team have several more products in development!
My favorite was the Pinto Beans and Flax Seed Cheddar Cheese chips. They are nutritionally superior to potato and corn chips, they have a unique flavor that is slightly spicy and very cheesy. My son really likes this one too. He has no idea how good these are for him, so I feel like I win when he eats this healthy snack. He fees like a winner as he is eating chips! This flavor is cholesterol free and has 140 guilt free calories.
My husband likes the Pinto Bean&Flax Chip. He said they were “perfect for dipping salsa”.
The Chipotle BBQ Black Bean Chips have a great flavor, smoky, spicy and unique.
The Black Bean Chips are also unique, they have a slightly spicy flavor, they are great for dipping with salsa and they would be ideal for taco salads, in my opinion.
Beanitos are the healthy snack option for school lunches, an after school snack or for a snack anytime. Beanitos have 3 times the amount of protein than potato chips and are perfect for eating healthy on the go.
One lucky reader is going to win a case of Beanitos! Check back in a few days for this yummy giveaway!

I loved the black bean brownies, so I can only imagine black bean chips would be a huge hit with homemade peach salsa!
