As well as being an enticing snack for being extremely high in protein and fiber, Beanitos' healthy navy bean-based chip now comes in an appealing lime flavor.
The simple non-GMO ingredient list makes it clear why these chips make a great alternative to greasy potato chips; Beanitos' Hint of Lime chips are made from whole beans grown in the USA, plus long grain rice, sunflower oil, real lime juice and sea salt.
Since adventurous eating is often curbed by concerns for health, citrus flavors are becoming a popular way for brands to satisfy both the need for bold flavors and healthy snacking. Since citrus is naturally both sweet and salty, the inclusion of this natural flavor has appeal to people with a sweet tooth, as well as those with a weakness for high-sodium snacks.
