Snack Salad Snapea CrispsI've been trying out a lot of healthier snack options lately, and when I spotted a snack made from peas, you know I had to try it. So into my grocery cart went a bag of Snack Salad Original Snapea Crisps.

Snapea Crisps are pea pods baked (not fried) to be a crunchy snack. My first reaction when I tried these was, "WOW!" They are not too salty and very crunchy, which makes them fun to pop into your mouth. The texture is perfect, not too hard and only a slight hint of peas in the taste. Once I knew I liked the texture, I bought the Caesar flavor and liked them even more. I won't be shy about the fact that I ate the whole bag in two sittings (luckily it’s only a 3.3 ounce serving bag)!

A 1 ounce serving of either flavor of Snack Salad Snapea Crisps has 150 calories, 8 grams of total fat (12% of the RDA), 1 gram of saturated fat (5% of the RDA), a low 5% of the RDA for sodium (125 mg), 5 grams of protein and 14 grams of total carbohydrate which includes 2 grams of fiber and less than 1 gram of sugars. I think those on a low carb diet might even be able to enjoy a serving of this. The ingredients are simply green peas, corn oil, rice, salt, calcium carbonate, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). They are also gluten free.

I bought a 3.3 ounce bag of Calbee Snack Salad Snapea Crisps for $1.99, but Amazon.com has a pack of 12 for $16. There are 51 reviews on Amazon with an average rating of 4.5 stars - convincing evidence to give it a try. They are so good that you might be tempted to eat the entire bag at once- don't! Eating an entire bag will cost you 450 calories and 36% of the daily amount of total fat.

Another peas snack you might like is Ding Dong Mixed Nuts (read the review) which has less calories and fat per serving.

Even though they are baked, it looks like the oil in these zaps the nutritional content.
