Sensible Portions Multi Grain Mini Crisps
March 26, 2008
I LOVE finding new snacks! Every time I shop it’s like a hunting expedition, my own little adventure.
Today my hunting ground was BJ’s, a local wholesale club, and my prey was Sensible Portions Multi Grain Mini Crisps. I’ve never heard of the brand before so I approached with extreme caution. I wasn’t going to be fooled by the frivolous displays of “whole grain” and “100 calories”. We all know these could possible be fake cries attempting to trap and confuse you into believing they are healthy.
To my surprise, upon inspecting my victim, I discover his claims to be of some merit. Made with whole grain corn, rice and oat flour these 100 calorie packs are a welcomed addition in the land empty calories, high fructose corn syrup and trans fats.
I tried both the apple cinnamon and cheddar flavors today. The crisps are very light and airy, think Quaker Mini Delights but lighter and crisper. The flavor is faint and just perfect.
Can you tell I liked them? I made a good kill, the serving size is good, they are exactly 1.5 points and I love the fact that I can feel good sharing a bag with the toddler!

I am so jealous you found the small bags. I can only find the regular size bags. The sea salt is awesome!

We get those at Costco, they are a great on the go snack! I have the opposite problem as wengergal, I can never find them in the large size bags, and sea salt flavor would be awesome!

The crisps are really good. My mother in law gave some to my 4 year old and they were in my cabinet for few weeks, finally tried them while at school today, and these will be my new addiction! She shops at BJ’s so that is probably where she found them!!!

I contacted Josh up there, the Marketing Director of sensible portions, and he sent me a fabulous box of products from their company, a big box of cheddar & apple crisps plus bags of their pita chips in all 3 flavors (Sea Salt, Garlic Parmesan and Cinnamon Sugar). the crisps are sooo good, the cheese ones always give me that potato-chips/Cheetos/doritos fix!
The pita chips are good too especially the Garlic-parm ones..they are so flavorful and pretty filling too.

I recently found this at our supermarket (I live in the Philippines) and I love it!! The crsips were very light and very tasty! Too bad we only have the multi grain crisps. Would love to try the other variants.

I agree on all the posts on the taste and the natural ingredients. The crisps also leave me feeling very full so an added bonus.

Have you visited the Sensible Portions web site lately? We have a new product called Cheating with Chocolate. They are similar to the Multi Grain Mini Crisps that you all enjoy except they are Mini Crisps with a Chocolatey Drizzle.
These new mini crisps are made to taste like those all American favorite full fat snacks Cinnamon Buns and S’mores. Now you can enjoy these flavors in 100 Calorie snack portions.
Check it out and enjoy!
