Review - Honest Chips - Organic Chips made with Coconut Oil

We eat potato chips. Big surprise right? French fries and potato chips are the only 'vegetables' that I can get L to eat without negotiating. No, I really do not count potatoes in the vegetable category. But I also do not limit them for my kids.

Even though Lay's only has three ingredients in their potato chips, I was not overly thrilled with those three ingredients.

Potatoes - They are not organic, which is concerning since potatoes are included in the dirty dozen

Sunflower, Corn, and/or Canola oil - Since both L and myself have a corn intolerance (one small handful of organic popcorn sent her eyes bright red and her behavior off for a few days). The possibility that she is ingesting corn oil is not cool. Not to mention that sunflower and canola oil are not great choices either.

Salt - salt is not horrible, but we eat sea salt, so it is not great either.

I had two choices. I could eliminate her primary reinforce - potato chips - or I could find a better choice. I decided to find a better choice, and was overjoyed when I found Jackson's Honest Potato Chips.

This is a family run company located in Colorado. They use organic potatoes, coconut oil, and sea salt. All are arguably Paleo friendly. The chips taste almost exactly like Lays. They are slightly crunchier and have a different oil aftertaste. I would pick the taste of Honest Chips over Lays any day. L will eat either interchangeably - which is high marks in itself.

If you do not eat white potatoes, then they also have a sweet potato variety. To my dismay they have run out of the organic variety until the next harvest. These are the best sweet potato chips that I have ever tried. I refused to eat the store bought kind, I found the other brands to taste bad and be too hard. However even S, who despises sweet potatoes, will beg to take these in her lunch. That being said, the sweet potato variety can become a bit soft if left out. Even though they still taste great.

The downfall is that we do not have these locally to buy, and with a case in my house they disappear fast - and not only because my children sneak a bag in the middle of the night, but also because I eat them. It also means that we have to pay shipping, which is reasonable considering the size of the boxes, but still adds up. The other disappointment is the lack of organic sweet potato chips until October. While the company is going to implement a non-GMO version, I do not think that we will be purchasing that variety.
