Green Giant has a very giant surprise. I love surprises! I was so excited to learn that one of my favorite veggie brands now makes chips! Green Giant is a name I grew up with, but previously I have only eaten their vegetables (which I adore).
Apparently I was not the only excited one. The minute I opened the box with the Green Giant Veggie Snack Chips, my 23-year old son grabbed one and started to head out of the kitchen (I kid you not). “Hold up”, I told him, “I need to take pictures first!”. He knows the rules by now, but apparently they looked too good to resist. Honestly, I not only wanted him to wait until I took pictures, but I kind of wanted them all to myself.
I immediately took my photos, as I wanted to dive right in. The Green Giant Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips (Zesty Cheddar) were calling my name, and I obliged by eating about 1/2 the bag in one sitting. I really didn’t know what to expect, since they are made with real vegetables, 17 grams of whole grain per serving (the recommended daily amount is 48g) and they are also naturally flavored. I wondered if they would have a dry, cardboard taste, or if the veggies would be too “obvious”. Boy was I wrong. They were SO good! They were crisp, fresh and full of tangy flavor (but not overdone). I love whole grain chips, so when you add Cheddar and a “good-for-you” ingredient such as veggies, you have a winner in my book. I will be buying these again and again – I like them that much. I actually prefer Green Giant Veggie Tortilla Chips over other chips. Well played, Green Giant. Well played.
I sampled the Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips with Sea Salt, and they were also super tasty. I did let my son have most of that bag. These veggie chips are made with real sweet potatoes and contain 14 grams of whole grain. Another plus – they contain 40 percent less fat than regular potato chips!
I can’t help but wish that the Green Giant Veggie Chips had been around when my kids were little. They NEVER would have known there were veggies in them, and I wouldn’t have had to feel guilty about my kids eating chips. They would be getting their vegetables without even knowing it.

You may or may not know this, but I have a surprise talent. My talent is (drumroll please) ….oil painting! Yep, I didn’t even know about this until a few months ago when I started painting a little table. I decided to paint a few flowers on a piece of paper, and that escalated into real oil paintings on canvas! I can’t draw worth a darn, so to learn that I can paint was very unexpected. Here is one of my favorite oil paintings…painted by yours truly:

I am so excited to try these! I seen an advertisement in my Sunday paper and got so excited. I have changed my snacking habits completely and always go for natural snacks instead, and my little boy prefers them too. Sounds like we are going to enjoy these, thanks for the review!

Green Giant isn’t a company I’d imagine to have a line of chips but those look flavorful and tasty.
