What it is -- A "pounder" bag of tortilla chips with whole grains. What we like about it --If we're snacking with abandon on Super Bowl Sunday, we might as well squeeze in something good -- especially if we're not apt to notice it. These chips provide 8 grams of whole grains per 1-ounce serving. (Government dietary guidelines recommend we get 48 grams each day.) The chips have no trans fat or saturated fat, and they're flavorful and sturdy enough to hold dip. What it costs --$3.49 Where to buy --Available at Mars, Super Fresh and Weis markets.
