I recently received these new chips from Enjoy Life called Plentils.
“From ancient times to the present, the lentil has proven to be one of the best sources of plant-based protein. This legume is a staple in diets throughout the world, but leave it to Enjoy Life to capture the essence of its all-natural goodness and turn lentils into amazing chips.”
These chips are crazy good. Crunchy and really full of flavor.
They do not taste like lentils and they do not taste like a “healthy chip” and I mean that in the best way.
“This chip’s unique recipe results in a protein-packed, crunchy experience, bursting with flavor as you savor a great-tasting “better-for-you” chip.”
They’re vegan, gluten free, soy free, not greasy, not too salty, and their flavor is robust. The margherita pizza is the most flavorful, followed by sour cream and dill, followed by the sea salt, and I’m not a garlic fan in general so I haven’t tried those.
They are not airy, either. In fact, they are supremely crunchy and hearty. I love texture and massive crunch factor and these have it. They have plenty of substance and texture rather than that I just ate 200 calories of salt and air and nothing feeling.
You want these. Trust me.
If you want to eat lentils in other ways, I have these recipes using lentils (all are vegan and gluten free):
Ketchup & Mustard Lover’s Protein & Veggie Mash
Curried Ginger & Raisin Lentils
Chipotle Salsa Lentils with Mixed Vegetables
And here are a few homemade healthier chips and cracker recipes (all are vegan and gluten free):

Sweet potato chips! Yum.
I love lentils and so these look really intriguing; plus, I’ve been looking for more filling snack ideas. I’d love to try the Garlic Parmesan variety
I love the crunchmaster gluten free crackers in sea salt – they are so crunchy and so delicious that i don’t mind serving them to non-GF guests
Yum these look awesome! My favorite chip lately has been pita chips… So salty and good :)
I like Good Food Should Taste Good, Beanritos made with black or pinto beans (probably similar to these lentil-based ones), and Kettle chips. These look very interesting…
