Review and Giveaway - Simply7 Snacks

Six new snacks have been added to my "favorite things to eat" category. Simply7 has found a way to make health food into a delicious snacking chip! I've never really liked the taste of hummus, but I LOVE Simply7 Hummus chips. There are three flavors of Hummus Chips - Tomato Basil, Sea Salt, and Spicy Chili Pepper.
The chips are light and airy tasting, with a kick of flavor and a dash of salt. Hummus is made from the chickpea and is loaded with protein and fiber. All three guys in my family were willing to try out the flavors (because they will try anything I tell them to try, that's a Mom's privilege). Everyone liked them all. The favorite Hummus chip during our taste party is Tomato Basil.
Ever tried lentils? They are also called legumes. Lentil chips are the tasty creation of Simply7 and after trying the Hummus Chips, we could hardly wait to try the Lentil chips. There are three flavors of the Lentil chips...Sea Salt, Bruschetta, and Creamy Dill.
I'm actually sitting here munching on the Bruschetta while I'm blogging! I really like them. My serving size is 31 chips, with 130 calories, 50 calories from fat, 6g total fat, 0g saturated fat, 0g trans fat, 0mg cholesterol, 18g total carbs, 19% daily sodium or 460mg, 3g protein, 1g sugars, 1g dietary fibers. I even get 4% Vitamin A and 4% Iron. Everyone thought the Creamy Dill was amazing and I found the half-eaten bag in my bedroom this morning, which means my husband was happily snacking after I fell asleep last night.
The boys thought there should be 7 flavors, since the company is Simply7, so I explained to them that the Simply7 stands for the 7 Core Standards that the chips must live up to:

  1. simple ingredients
  2. no trans fat or cholesterol
  3. no artificial flavors or colors
  4. no additives or preservatives
  5. gluten free ingredients
  6. all natural recipes
  7. simply delicious








These crunchy delicious snacks are a great addition to my new healthy lifestyle and since the family likes them too, they are winning choices. After all, if they don't taste great, who would eat them? Healthy snack foods are the way to go!
Find them online, on Amazon, on Facebook and Twitter.

Disclosure: I received these products at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

  57. I think this is such an amazing company- like other brands of "chips" the chip is made of potatoes, but here the chips are actually made from what the chip is- lentils, chickpeas etc. this is amazing in so many ways because these legumes and beans are extremely good for our bodies- the protein and health benefits are plentiful. I also like that they live by their seven standards. that's incredible- you know their product is good because they stand behind it and not only that but they mention how they work tirelessly to make sure their snack is healthy, and tasty, just for us!

    -I learned that Simply 7 stands for the 7 core standards that all of their products follow. Those core standards are things they truly believe should be basic expectations for any snack food. They are: 0 Grams Trans Fat and No Cholesterol; No Artificial Colors or Flavors; No Additives or Preservatives; Gluten Free Ingredients; All Natural Recipes; Simple Ingredients; and Simply Delicious. Many people think that the Simply 7 means that their chips have 7 ingredients, but that is not the case.
