Smart Fries – A Smart Snack Choice

September 9, 2013 by Karen

Disclosure:  I was sent samples of Smart Fries in exchange for an honest review.  No other compensation was received for this post. 

I am always on the radar for healthy snack options.  I received Smart Fries a few weeks ago to test drive with my family.  Smart Fries is made by Gourmet Basics.

Smart Fries are air popped potato sticks that contain 2 grams or less of fat per serving.  A serving for the most part is 1 oz., which is about 65 pieces!!  They are 110 calories per oz.

Garlic and Rosemary 

There are nine flavors and here is my summary of the flavors:

1. Classic Sea Salt – lightly salted

2. Honey BBQ – smoky, sweet, and salty

3. Honey Mustard – sweet and tangy

4. Vinegar Splash – tart and salty

5. Jalapeno Trio – has a nice little kick

6. Vintage Cheddar – cheesy favorite for all ages

7. Garlic and Rosemary – flavorful and garlicky

8. Cracked Pepper and Salt – generously peppered

9. Cinnamon Swirl –  sweet treat

My family could not agree on a favorite.  My personal favorite was Cinnamon Swirl.  My spouse enjoyed the Jalapeno Trio and the Garlic and Rosemary the most.  My kids voted Vintage Cheddar was their favorite.

Smart Fries are 100% natural with no artificial additives and no MSG. The oil was listed as non-GMO too.  These potato sticks are air popped and then pass through a unique hot air oven.  The potato sticks are made of potato, wheat flour, salt, and potassium chloride so they are probably not a good snack choice if you have issues with gluten.

I think this treat is a great option to healthy snacking.  You can satisfy a salty craving with eight of the flavors and even tackle craving a sweet treat with the Cinnamon Swirl.  Smart Fries have a texture that is light and crunchy and I still can’t get over how large the serving size is!  This snack will leave you feeling satisfied.

To explore Smart Fries and its nine flavors further, please visit gourmetbasics.com.  There is also the option to sign up for SmartMail on the website to receive news, promotions, and deals.  Smart Fries may be purchased on Amazon.com or other fine retailers across the U.S.  Gourmet Basics also makes Pop Rings that are air popped onion rings as smart snack.
