Snack Smarter With Protein Tortilla Chips

(NewsUSA) - Do you crave crispy, tasty tortilla chips, and want a snack that you and your family can feel good about? If so, then you'll be happy to hear about a new chip that is now available that is rich in plant-based protein but keeps the delicious flavor and texture of your favorite restaurant-style tortilla chips.

SimplyProtein, the same makers of your favorite SimplyProtein bars, makes it easy to enjoy your favorite snacks with the added benefit of protein and without sacrificing taste.

Most people know that eating protein helps the body build muscle strength and repair muscle cells after activity. But protein can also play a role in smarter snacking. In fact, protein digests more slowly compared to carbohydrates, and stimulates appetite hormones that tell your brain that you are full, helping you to eat less.

Adding more protein to your diet is easy, especially if it comes in the form of tasty snacks that you already enjoy. SimplyProtein has just introduced a line of Restaurant-Style Tortilla Chips that are gluten-free, vegan, and kosher, too.

“We believe we’ve cracked the code on indulgent-tasting, better-for-you tortilla chips,” notes Michael Lines, CEO of Wellness Natural Inc., parent company of SimplyProtein. “I’m really proud to have created a new protein-rich snack that tastes so great.”

The tortillas, which come in three flavors—Sea Salt, Hint of Lime, and Hint of Habanero—are made with a unique blend of corn, quality pea protein, and organic sunflower oil, plus other ingredients.

The combination of delicious flavors in a crunchy restaurant-style chip that also provides 7 grams of plant-based protein per 50-gram serving (14 chips) sets SimplyProtein Restaurant-Style Tortilla Chips apart as a superior choice for smart snacking.

Although the chips provide their own zesty flavor and protein power, they make a delicious nacho dish but also pair perfectly with dips and salsas for a winning combination to accompany any social gatherings you may host or attend, like movie nights, girls night in, Super Bowl, fall sports tailgate or other event.
