Chips!

Every toddler loves chips! While they are not always the healthiest of snacks, they are handy, and they are often found at parties and family gatherings, so it is good to get to know which chips are gluten free. We have found a number of gluten free chips on the market, from the ordinary to the gourment, there are a couple of brands available to enjoy.

Cassava Chips

Cassava chips are probably out favorite chip of all time. Cassava Chips are made by Arico and they are gluten free, casein free and trans fat free. The first thing you are probably saying to yourself, what is Cassava? According to Arico's website Cassava, or yucca, grows much like the potato and has twice the fiber of the common potato. We discovered these chip over a year ago and they offer a richer and fuller flavor that a potatoe chip. They are hard to find in local grocery stores, however, you can easily order them online, directly from Arico or from places like Amazon. The downside is that they tend to be a little more expensive than potato chips, but are well worth it for special occaisions. However, Arico does offer coupons, which you can find on a regular basis. Cassava chips are offered in a number of flavors: Barbeque Bliss Cassava Chip (our favorite flavor), Sea Salt Mist Chip, Original Chip, and Ginger on Fire.

Frito-Lay


Believe it or not Frito Lay, one of the larger chip manufacturers in the U.S., has an extensive list of their Gluten Free Chips. You can find just about any type of chips on this list from CHEETOS® Giant Puffs Cheese Flavored Snacks to BAKED! LAY'S® Original Potato Crisps. They are inexpensive and readily available.
