Snack Salad Snapea Crisps
By: | Mar 6, 2008
I'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
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.
These are yummy though!
And Hiii from a fellow Penn Stater!
OMG, these things are so damn good. I bought some a few weeks ago and I ate the whole bag in 1 sitting. Too many carbs for now, but I'll be buying them again.
I love snapea crisps, I buy them 2 for $3 at Safeway. I've been known to polish off a bag in one sitting but that's if I have nothing else to eat around the house and I'm basically replacing a meal with them! I was actually just searching the net for more information about them because I think they're just too tasty, they must be a glorified chip in disguise. Well I've been using them to satisfy my craving for salty crunchy snacks while trying to lose weight after my first baby and so far I'm not disappointed.
