Munching on a great bag of crunchy chips in the afternoon is a snacking must for many. When you're craving something salty with just the right amount of bite, a chip makes for the perfect solution. But most chips on the market are laden with excess sodium, saturated fat and calories.
That's why our registered dietitians tested over 30 chip brands, even sending the options to consumer taste testers across the nation to bring you the best better-for-you picks that excel in nutrition and taste.
