Review

Ryan noticed this Trader Joe’s 8 Grain Crisps Baked Snack one day in the chip aisle, on our weekly grocery shopping trip and we decided to give them a try. These snack crisps are like rice cakes, only better. They have a more filling, whole grain flavor. I am not typically a huge fan of rice cake snacks, because they leave me feeling hungry, unsatisfied, and like I just ate a handful of styrofoam, but I was pleasantly surprised with these cracker/chip substitutes. They are heavier than your standard chip and pack quite a crunch. The barley adds a sweet, nutty flavor, with a hint of pumpernickel from the rye. I really like them, and think they would be great with a red pepper or jalapeno pepper hummus.

Not only are these crisps tasty but they are really healthy too. The black sesame seeds are a good source of calcium, the buckwheat, whole ground corn, and oat groats add fiber, and the flax seeds are loaded with omega-3s.

At 120 calories per serving and all natural ingredients, these snack crips are definitely a better choice than your standard greasy potato chip. Nosh on!

Trader Joe’s informed me this weekend that they have discontinued these because of low sales. Help me bring them back! Go to Trader Joe’s website and fill out the feedback/comment form. Or, if any of you live in areas other than Phoenix and are still able to buy these in your TJ’s stores, please let me know where, and I’ll mail order them! I love these crackers!!!
