Hi all - hoping you have been good!
I generally adhere to a healthy diet - especially low on animal saturated fats etc. My dinner is the focus here and I would like to change an element. Dinner is usually boiled vegetables and boiled potatoes too with oven baked fish as the protein. However as a side alongside dinner - I got hooked on a half a bag (100 grams) of potato chips (regular or sour cream and onion etc.). I want to kick the potato chips to the curb and need your help to help me to find some healthier options to replace the potato chips. Some have suggested pop corn and others oven baked chips. Ideally I want something that won't bulk me up. I am thinking some quinoa or cous cous? I don't want any peanuts or other nuts. Maybe chestnuts though? Ideally something that is non-perishable so no salads. I can buy frozen items or in a can or bag/packet. Help please to give a large list of options. I thought I would ask you great people instead of AI. Low sodium and non-sweet would be ideal because it would be a side dish.
Please give options that are light years healthier than potato chips. Looking back, the fat and salt created the potato chips addiction as a mandatory side but the most important thing is realization I suppose and making the healthy change.
Thank you!
