Chef Kalil in the Frito-Lay Flavor Kitchen

At the Frito-Lay Flavor Kitchen at its headquarters in Plano, Texas, Frito-Lay’s team of chefs use real foods and recipes to inspire new flavors of Frito-Lay snacks. For example, the flavor for Lay’s Garden Tomato & Basil potato chips was inspired by a tomato basil sauce that you’d put on pasta or use for dipping bread.

I had the opportunity to sample all three all-natural varieties in the top photo and they are delish! We shared the Tostitos with our friends at game night and everyone enjoyed them. I brought the Sun Chips to the middle school girls class I teach at church and they devoured the bag before I could have a taste. I am savoring the Tomato & Basil chips because they are like eating a delicacy, not a potato chip!

Frito-Lay wants you to try all three delicious flavors too so they are giving one lucky reader of The Mom Maven a chance to win them!

From Popchips.com:

all the flavor.
where’s the fat?

Introducing an all-natural chip like you’ve never tasted before. We don’t fry it (unhealthy). We don’t bake it (undelicious). We take the finest ingredients, like wholesome potatoes, apply heat and pressure, and pop! It’s a chip. Then we use an artful blend of natural seasonings for a snack so tasty, crispy and dip-able, you won’t even notice it’s (we hesitate to say) healthier.

What’s out? More than half the fat of fried potato chips, trans fats, and cholesterol. All gone. For good. What’s popped in? Only what’s natural, tons of delicious, and plenty of crunch.

Popchips come in 7 different flavors, the four I mentioned above plus sour cream & onion, cheddar and parmesan & garlic. If you live out west you can find Popchipss in lots of stores like Safeway, Ralphs, Costco and Whole Foods. They are making their way east and I was glad to find out that they are available at my local Good Earth store. You can also get them here Popchips Original Potato Chips, 3.0-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)
