Want a healthier, good for you, great tasting snack? Then you need to take a look at these new chips from Beanitos. Doug and Dave Foreman, the owners of Bean Brand Foods, say “Beanitos is a nutritional powerhouse: a corn free, gluten free, low glycemic, 100% whole bean snack chip packed with Omega 3′s, protein and fiber.” They are also high in fiber and contain 2 1/2 times the protein of corn or potato chips. I say, they are quite tasty and filling as a snack.
As a Celiac and type II diabetic, I am always looking for foods that I can eat without getting sick from the gluten, and that don’t have too much sugar. These chip fit that description. The things that make Beanitos so healthy and delicious are real ingredients, nutritious calories, and beans. Beans are naturally loaded with health benefits such as vitamins and minerals.
Beanitos come in two varieties: Black Bean and Pinto Bean with Flax Seeds. The Black Bean flavor has 5 grams of fiber and 140 calories in a 10 chip serving. To get the same amount of fiber from potato chips, you would 75 chips with 750 calories. And potato chips offer no Omega 3′s at all!
Beanitos suggested retail price is $3.99 for a 6 oz. bag and can be found in many stores nationwide, including H-E-B and Whole Foods. If you can’t find them at your favorite local store, visit the Beanitos website to download a product fact sheet to give the manager nex time you go. Order them online at Snack Warehouse.

these look yummy .. and gluten free too which is great. I’ll have to grab a bag next time i’m in whole foods. I’m always looking for a healthy alternative to smuggle into the movies.
I am having a hard time finding these, except on the web..:( I live in Indiana and we seem to be slower than the rest of the nation on getting gluten free products… seems silly since we grow so much corn in this state!
Thanks so much for the support! In Indiana, you can always request that your local grocery manager start carrying Beanitos. We also can ship retail direct if you have a local natural food store you frequent. Feel free to email us at info@beanitos.com
