Awesome New Flavors From Beanitos!

You may recall from my previous review that I loved Beanitos! Isn't it great when you find a snack you love, and they come out with even more tasty flavors? I love when that happens and it’s just happened with Beanitos.

The new flavors are made with white beans, which you might know and love as navy beans. They are a very versatile and mild flavored bean, that I used a lot in casseroles and soups. The Restaurant Style as has simple wonderful ingredients that you can recognize as good food. These are light and crispy and have a flavor distinct to themselves. I had them on their own and with salsa, which was lovely.

The other new white bean flavor is Nacho Cheese. This was perhaps my favorite of them all. It had a lovely cheesy flavor and a hint of spice that built with the more I ate. These are perfect on their own and need no dips.

I loved having my memory refreshed as to just how much I enjoyed the original black bean variety. These are lightly salted with sea salt and while they are wonderful on their own they also go great with cheese dips and even tomato based dips. They are also light and crispy and just a joy to eat.

My husband, as usual, finds his favorite to be the one with the most heat and he really loved the Chipotle BBQ black bean chips. These are also eat straight from the bag delicious and very, very easy to eat, or as my husband would say they are ‘moreish‘!

The pinto bean varieties were different than I remembered and after checking they are different! The used to be made with flax seed, which tends to give things an earthy flavor, but now they are not. I like the change. The Simply Pinto Beans flavor is lightly salted with sea salt and perfect for dipping or being eaten on it’s own.

The Better Cheddar pinto bean variety was really something special. It was like having a cheese burrito! I just can’t express how much I love these chips. I have to be careful because I could so easily sit and eat the whole bag by myself.

In addition to tasting awesome these are nutritionally significant, meaning you are not just eating empty calories. Since these are made with real food and wonderful foods, like beans and whole grain rice you are getting valuable protein and fiber in your diet.  

In fact Beanitos new white beans flavors (Restaurant Style and Nacho Cheese) contain 6g of fiber per 1oz serving and the black bean and pinto bean varieties contain 5g of fiber per 1oz serving. They all contain 4g of COMPLETE protein per 1oz serving!

They are also low glycemic, gluten free, verified non-GMO, and completely vegetarian. What that means is you can snack on and not have to feel guilty about what you are putting in your body. To find out more about Beanitos please visit the Beanitos site. You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

I received the above products through Sublime Media Connection in exchange for an honest review. In no way was I asked to give a positive review.
