I have recently been given the opportunity to sample Beanitos with my kids. YUM YUM YUM is what *I* have to say! First, here’s a little bit of information about this new product:
New Beanitos Bean Chips Single Serve: 6 g Protein, 6 g Fiber & 175 Cals
• New Healthy Chips Made From Pinto & Black Beans
• New Product – New Single-Serve Beanitos – Hit the stores 60 days ago!
• Non-GMO, Gluten-free
• High Protein & Low Glycemic
• 6 g Protein & 6 g Fiber
• Available in 7,000 stores nation-wide, including Whole Foods & Krogers.
All four flavors – Black Bean, Pinto Bean & Flax, Chipotle BBQ and Cheddar Cheese Pinto Bean – are gluten-free, corn-free, low glycemic, non-GMO and available in the new single-serve 1.25 oz. bag with a suggested retail price of $1.29
So what did my family think??
Grace chose to eat the Cheddar Cheese flavor right away and loved them! Heath chose the Pinto Bean & Flax and gobbled them ALL up. Michael originally chose the black bean, decided he didn’t like them and then tried the BBQ (which was a bad move – he doesn’t like spices!)…then he finally settled on eating a few of Grace’s Cheddar instead. 🙂 I ate the black bean and the rest of Michael’s Chipotle BBQ. They were really good!
I felt VERY full afterward. I’ve heard that some people feel gassy after eating them, but none of us felt that way at all. The beans are handled to reduce or eliminate the gassy bean effect. This would be an excellent low-calorie, high protein, high fiber snack for someone on a diet and I seriously felt like it was an appetite suppressant due to the fiber/protein punch. There are plenty of flavors to choose from, so I think that anyone could find one to love. I also think it would make a great meal-starter if you wanted a nutrient-rich meal. I could envision it topped with melted cheese and veggies for some nutritious nachos that would be a delicious meal for someone counting calories AND conscious of the ingredients being consumed.
Check them out for yourself and tell me what YOU think!
