Today’s Celiac Disease Awareness Month is brought to you by Beanitos. These bean chips and puffs have been mentioned by Celiac and the Beast several times online – probably because we’re always eating them! Our neighborhood Fresh & Easy always stocks these at a great value.

This is typically how you find Beanitos at our house – because the bags are always empty.

Beanitos are made from fiber and protein-rich whole beans. They’ve got a variety of flavors made from white beans, black beans, and pinto beans. I’m more of a white and pinto bean chip person (even though I prefer black beans IRL), while non-GFBF swears by the black beans (but likes pinto beans IRL – go figure).

These chips are more than just snacks – it’s a ton of protein. Their example of about 12 chips or 1 oz. of Restaurant Style White Bean Chips contains:

• 4 grams complete protein
• 6 grams fiber
• 16 grams carbohydrates
• 7 grams fat with NO trans fats
• NO sugar added
• 140 calories

Beanitos are:

• Certified GF
• Corn free
• Vegan
• Certified low glycemic
• Certified kosher
• Non-GMO

I wanted to highlight their new WHITE BEAN chips – because one it includes their new Restaurant Style chip – MY FAVORITE. These corn-free “restaurant style” chip made with white beans. It’s also made in nacho cheese flavor, which tastes like a less tangy Dorito (and also made from beans). A snack size bag of Beanitos white bean chips packs 9 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein.

Restaurant style: INGREDIENTS: Whole Navy Beans, Whole Grain Long Brown Rice and/or Long Grain White Rice, Pure Sunflower and/or Safflower Oil, Guar Bean Gum, Sea Salt.

Nacho cheese: INGREDIENTS: Whole Navy Beans, Whole Grain Long Brown Rice and/or Long Grain White Rice, Pure Sunflower and/or Safflower Oil, Cheddar Cheese Blend [Cheddar Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes) Whey, Buttermilk, Annatto], Sea Salt, Tomato Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Spices, Lactic Acid, Paprika, Citric Acid, Guar Bean Gum.

Beanitos are GFCO certified! Here’s their GLUTEN-FREE statement: We are proud that Beanitos are gluten-free. They contain no gluten ingredients, and they are made on dedicated gluten-free lines. We also send Beanitos out to third-party labs for gluten-free verification and consistently report less than 3 parts per million gluten (<3ppm). This level is virtually undetectable and exceeds the proposed U.S. gluten-free standard of <20ppm. It also exceeds the Canadian gluten-free standard of <5ppm.

They’ve also just launched their puffs – kind of like Cheetos but made out of BEANS! Check these out!
