Are Potato Chips Bad For You?
Before you label us as potato chip haters, please know we are vegan chip stans—we love potato chips. As you likely know, potato chips can easily fit into a balanced diet.

Pairing them with nutrient-dense foods, like veggies or plant-based protein sources, helps maintain balance and satisfy cravings. Still, if you’re ready to explore new snacking territory, we’ve got you covered.
