Wheat-free Diary

I usually buy new wheat-free products to give them a try. Sometimes the high cost doesn't justify the poor taste, flavor, or texture.

First, let me say that I hate rice cakes. I feel like I've got some ground up cardboard boxes in my mouth.

I've had these roasted garlic and onion soy crisps in my cupboard for weeks. I was dreading trying them, all ready for another disappointment. The photo on the package looks like mini rice cakes. But I do like garlic and onion potato chips, so I was willing to risk it.

Well, since I began Weight Watchers and eating fewer calories, I need more carbs in my diet. I used to use tortilla chips for my carbs (in place of bread), but they are so high in fat. I noticed that I can have 25, yes 25 soy crisps for one serving, and it counts half the points of eating tortilla chips or potato chips.

The roasted garlic and onion soy crisps are baked instead of fried and have 100 calories, 7 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, and 14 grams of carbohydrates per 1 ounce serving.

So today for lunch, I took my 25 soy crisps and topped them with cheese. It was delicious. I highly recommend this for snacking, and I think kids would love it.
