Smartfood Selects Hummus Popped Chips (Garlic Tomato Basil) Review

Hummus chips are new to me, so when I saw Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips I had to pick up a bag (92.1 grams) which cost $3.49. The packaging says that "By roasting the garlic in this hummus-based popped chip, we've caramelized it's natural sugars to give it a sweet flavor. Parmesan, tomato, basil and thyme supplement the garlic in this scrumptious, smart combination."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 16 chips, 28 grams
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 5 grams, 8%
Saturated Fat: 0.5 grams, 3%
Sodium: 160 mg, 7%
Carbohydrates: 18 grams, 6%
Fiber: 3 grams, 11%
Sugars: 2 grams
Protein: 3 grams

The round crisps have a nice crunch to them. They are slightly garlicky and taste of the herbal seasoning, and they aren't too spicy. This brand is more expensive than some others, but well worth it if you're crave salty snacks like I do. Each serving of 16 chips provides 130 calories, 5 grams of total fat (8% of the daily value), 160 mg of sodium (7% of the DV), 3 grams of fiber (11% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 3 grams of protein.

The packaging of Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips says that the chips are "All Natural." The ingredients list though is rather lengthy, although all the components are commonplace.

I enjoyed Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips and would buy it again. Of course, if you look through our Chip Reviews, there are quite a few others that I like as well - like Stacys Simply Naked Bagel Chips and Route 11 Sweet Potato Chips.

Tribe Mediterranean Style Hummus Review

I got a few flavors of Tribe Hummus to try - I LOVE hummus, and I immediately set to work putting it on any and everything. First flavor I randomly reached for was the Tribe Mediterranean Style Hummus. It's described as having, "a light drizzle of olive oil and dusting of paprika on top of classic hummus."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 2 tbsp (28 grams)
Calories: 70
Total Fat: 5 grams, 8%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 120 mg, 5%
Carbohydrates: 4 grams
Fiber: 1 gram, 4%
Sugars: 0 grams
Protein: 2 grams

Classic hummus pretty much tastes the same no matter what the brand, and the paprika & garlic add a subtle flavor. But what really sets this Tribe hummus apart is how creamy and rich this hummus is. I expected for it to be okay, but when I had it on top of some Back to Nature Organic Saltine Crackers, but it turned out to be spectacular.

Each 2 tablespoon serving of Tribe Mediterranean Style Hummus provides 70 calories, 5 grams of total fat (8% of the daily value), no saturated fat, 120 mg sodium (5% of the DV), 1 gram of fiber, no sugars and 2 grams of protein.

The ingredients are, cooked chickpeas (chickpeas, water), tahini (ground sesame), canola oil, dried roasted garlic, salt, citric acid, extra virgin olive oil, spices, paprika, parsley.

I use hummus as a spread instead of butter, but not too much because it's still calorie heavy. As I mentioned before, I received samples courtesy of the company, but Tribe Mediterranean Style Hummus is available at my local grocery store at $3.99 for an 8 ounce container, and this flavor is really good, so if you haven't tried it already - what are you waiting for?!
