Chips. All kid’s love chips. Even adults love chips but chips are well…not the healthiest snack option. Being a mom of boys and more specifically, a toddler, getting him to eat less “junky” food can be a challenge. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to find better options of everyone’s favorite crunchy snack.
It’s all about that flavor
Boulder chips are not new to the market but they are bringing in chips cooked in unique cooking oils that I’ve never seen before. For example avocado oil, rice bran oil, and coconut oil. The best part about that is you can taste the flavor of the oils. Who doesn’t love a hint of your favorite flavor in a chip?! These oils don’t leave a gross oily residue on your hands either…though even if they did, they’re all tasty anyways.
I got my hands on 5 different flavors of Boulder Canyon chips and each one was delicious! I typically find products that are vegan and gluten-free..well..bland. I was so surprised that these chips are the exact opposite of that. They each packed a yummy natural flavor punch with a great crunch. No seriously, the crunchier the better!
Our Favorite Crunchy Snack
If I gave my boys a bag of chips they would devour them in 5 minutes or less. Having a better-for-you chip option makes a world of difference in my always worried nutritional mind when it comes to them. I know kids, especially toddlers, can be picky and go through eating stages. They would rather starve than eat their lunch because that day they didn’t “like it anymore”. Having a bribery snack in your back pocket is exactly what you need in times like these.
My favorite..I mean their favorite flavor is the Sweet Chipotle(I have a baby mouth so anything that’s too spicy for them is too spicy for me, aka perfect for little taste buds.). So now when I make the boys a sandwich for lunch, I bribe them. Yeah, you can try to mom shame me if you’d like, I don’t care because you know what? My boys will eat every crumb of those sandwiches to get a handful of Boulder Canyon chips afterward.
Boulder Canyon chips, as great as they are, are still chips. So no, I don’t condone downing a bag when you’re craving that crunchy sensation but rather to make a better choice when it comes to the type of chip you’re purchasing. What better options of snacks have you swapped out for your kids or yourself?
They don’t sell Boulder Canyon chips where we live. The do sound delicious and something we would give a try to all the different flavors.
These sounds good, i love the fact they made with avo and coconut oil. I like this healthy option.
I would love the try the sweet chipotle! I don’t eat chips very often but I sure do love them and they must have a crunch. I know I’d enjoy trying all the different flavors.
I’ve never heard of these chips but they sound great. I’ll have to look for them for my kids
I haven’t seen these before, but I’ll be on the lookout for them. I’m always looking for healthier snacks for the kids.

I am on a strict diet plan and couldn’t have them, but my kids would probably love these!! I have never heard of this brand before.
I have tried this brand – they sell it at my local health food store! Definitely one I would recommend, love their flavours. 🙂
I have never seen these chips by me but they seem so great and the oils sound so healthy. I try to live vegan so these are perfect for my family.
Those snacks look so good. I am always looking for a great snack to take to the movies. I need to give this one a try.

The sweet chipotle flavor sounds so yummy. These are on my list to buy at the store.
I’m a huge fan of chickpeas! Those look awesome and I will have to try them.
I haven’t seen this brand in my area before. Their chip names give me the feeling they have a bit of flavor or zing to them.
We’re always looking for “better for you” snacks that don’t jeopardize health. Thanks for sharing these chips. They look and sound delicious!!!
We love munching on crunchy chips of all flavors. I’ll have to see if I can locate these with their better ingredients!
I’ve never heard of this product but I am all for healthy but still get the crunch I need. I get cravings in the afternoon and I am trying really hard to eat healthier. Something like this would make that a lot easier.
I would love to snack on these! I love the crunchy snacks; especially if they are healthy!
When I go grocery shopping, I make sure to check the contents of what i let my kids eat. Sometimes, I even prefer to prepare them myself instead of buying ready-to-eat chips. It is good to know that less guilt chips are available nowadays.
We love a crunchy snack like chips. These sound delicious. There’s nothing better than chips with iced tea!
Oooo these sound really good! I’ve been buying quinoa chips and bbq protein crisps lately (yum!) I’ll have to give these a try!
These look delicious! We eat a ton of chips in our household, with six kids it’s hard to keep them in stock. We will have to try this brand!
I haven’t tried these yet, but they sound really yummy! I love finding tasty healthier snacks.
I really love that these are not spicy. I love spicy myself but my grandkids don’t. They love crunchy snacks so I bet they’ll really like these. I’ll have to see if I can find some around here.
Seriously, I have never seen these chips before. I never even heard of them, but my son loves chips! We’re going to have to try these healthier alternative.
I was in the grocery store today and was looking at these chips. I wasn’t sure how it would taste, but after reading your post, I’m definitely getting them on my next trip.
These Boulder Canyon chips sound delicious! Perfect for a quick snack with the kids. Our pre-teens would love munching on these.
You are right generally snacks like chips, etc., are heavy on fat and lack real nutritional value. One needs to give them snacks which are tasty and at the same time nutritional.Boulder Canyon seems to have the right products for this.
Kids and I love chips. We will def. try your recommendation because its olive oil fry and should be a bit more healthy than the ones we normally get.
I’ve never heard about that snacks but I love everything what’s quite health especially if we talking about food for my son
Wow! I am sure my kiddo will like these as much as your kids are loving them. Sounds like a great snacking option specially while travelling.
