No Salt-sa Salsa & Veggie and Flaxseed Tortilla Chips!
Oh, Trader Joe’s, how I love thee!
Last weekend, we were hunting for cookout foods, and I spied something I have been looking for for years (Not to say that it wasn’t right in front of me the whole time, but I don’t think it was!). They actually sell a fire-roasted salsa that has no added salt! I love the idea of salsa as an alternative to other fatty condiments, but I rarely use it because it’s so high in sodium. And forget about having chips and salsa! That’s enough salt to last me a year.
That being said, this salsa is not only healthy, but delicious. I actually did try it with some veggie & flax chips, and it was just right. The chips were a tad salty, but there wasn’t any extra salt in the salsa. It’s my new true love (just don’t tell Jon). Luckily, Jon isn’t really even interested in the salsa because he’s a salt fiend, so it’s mine all mine! Try it!
Only 15 calories in 2 Tablespoons!
Here are the chips. They do have a bit more calories and fat than normal, but that’s because flaxseeds are baked right in! My own personal jury is still out as to whether you can digest whole flaxseeds that are cooked into foods. You aren’t supposed to eat whole flaxseeds as a supplement because you’re body can’t break them down and get the good stuff out. However, if they’re already cooked, can they be broken down if whole? I’ve found no information on that, and would be happy if someone could tell me!
Have a great rest of the weekend!!
