Potato Chips With a Sweet and Healthy Twist
Food Mood Girl Lindsey Smith proves that potato chips can be a healthy snack.
From traveling on-the-go to a mid-day pick me up, healthy snacks can give our bodies the boost of nutrients it needs to keep going.
This week, I decided to make sweet potato chips for a quick and healthy snack. Sweet potatoes are high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, calcium, potassium, and beta-carotene, which make them a nutrient dense food that can help protect against the cold and flu season as the weather starts to change.
Enjoy them fresh or make a bunch and take them with you! Either way, you won’t be disappointed.
