i have veggie straw ptsd because in middle school i dyed my hair black and green and then bleached it to go blonde and it looked HORRIBLE it turned into this light orange and light green color and we bleached it soooo many times it was not coming out i was really set on being blonde so by the time i was ready to give up i didn’t even wanna bother putting a new color on it. i was called veggie straws for YEARS (it was more like months before i dyed it again but i felt like years 😔)
Oh, nooooo. I’m sorry, honey.
Thank you! Also… in the diabetic world Quest Chips are seen as better for you than say an apple. Because you need more insulin for an apple. I call bologna
I guess it depends on your goals. Like the way you can lose weight on a calorie deficit vs by eating less processed foods. The apple goes through significantly less processing, but the quest chips are less likely to spike your sugar levels.
Definitely not, quest chips are still just chips…
@@pragyasingh2297 So which is worse? My son is a type 1 diabetic and I would rather give him insulin apple and cheese than a bag of chips.
But Quest Chips state they have more protein and less carbs than your typical ultra processed chips.
I like veggie straws more than chips but chips are good on sandwiches
Eww
They’re way more processed than regular plain potato chips.
I like the veggie straws because the serving size is larger lol.
I can’t even taste the other veg in veggie straws type foods, so figured out pretty quick there wasn’t much in them but potato.
There are chips made from other root vegetables with or without salt that are tasty, like Terra Chips. Good for some variety. They are usually thicker than potato chips and so may have a little more fiber per chip, but basically they are all root veggies with similar nutritional value.
The only problem I have with either of these snacks is how yummy they are and easy they are to overeat. They just taste so good that I end up eating so many of them and fill myself up on them instead of eating a more nutritious meal. Thats why I try to just pre portion my snacks and choose whichever one tastes the best to me
I remember having a coworker who ate those veggies straws and kept saying they were healthy because they were made from vegetables. When I told him potatoes chips were made from vegetables so they were also veggie chips,he really didn’t like that and argued me down about it😂.
There ate types of vegetable crisps which are actually crisped up vegetables, those are healthier than potato crisps.
Yes, and i like the lighly salted lays ones witch has even lower sodium.
They taught my son how to do this at his school so they could make better food choices. He has been telling me to just eat potato chips.
Totally agree. The only difference is that veggie straws and veggie chips are better for dipping than potato chips and I like the flavor better. No other reason to swap than that
What I like about veggie straws is the fact that 1 serving is like 38 of them. Usually potato chips have <12 chips per serving and it’s so easy to inhale the serving. So I treat them like pretzels or popcorn, just another carby snack I can have a decent amount in volume and not feel as guilty about
Honestly that brand that makes the veggie straws makes a Pringles like chip that u personally enjoy. I don’t think it’s healthier I just think it’s yummy.
The color being added and being more processed is exactly why I stay away from veggie straws. Great video.
But what about acrylamides? I’d assume since they are processed differently that veggie chips wouldn’t have acrylamides or would have significantly less acrylamides but correct me if I’m wrong!
I like the taste of the veggies straws
I get veggie straws as a treat for my kids because they like the shape and colors. They are definitely treated like any other chip in our house 😅
ranch veggie straws are so good
But it was great way when I was in school to get my parents to buy me chips for my lunch😂 loved getting the veggie straws at Costco haha
