I lined my family up and said that they would be the jury for my "iron chef" Low Carb Snack Chips battle. Of course, all I did was buy the stuff, I didn't actually make it, but they still were the jury.
I purchased the Trader Joe's Soy & Flaxseed Tortilla Chips for $1.99 at Trader Joe's.
I purchased the CarbSense Soy Tortillas at Shaws for $3.99.
I purchased the Hain's Carbfit Twirls at Stop & Shop on sale for $2.99 (regulary $3.99.)
I purchased the GeniSoy Tortillas at Stop & Shop on sale for $2.99 (regularly $3.99.)
We had lots of opinions -- so you really have to try them yourselves. However, the kids were unanimous in their recommendation for the Carbfit Twirls. I also have to give the Hain company, the maker of Carbfit line, big kudos for listing transfat right on their label where it should be -- and there is 0 trans fat in this product!
Update: My daughter is now saying that she only wants Hain's Carbfit Twirls in her lunchbox... and only the Nacho flavor -- not the cool ranch flavor. My son will eat all of the stuff below.
