Product Review | Prana Dry Roasted Coconut Chips

My mouth is on fire.

I set up these photos and then promptly after taking them I started mowing down on these super spicy coconut chips from Prana. I probably should have waited until I uploaded the photos to make sure they worked because I ate them all and wouldn't have been able to do any retakes.

Alas, a couple of weeks ago Prana sent me four flavours of coconut chips to try and it's taken a lot of will power not to eat them before writing this post 'cause they're that good. I even had to snatch them away from my husband! (He would have definitely eaten them!)

Prana Coconut Chips make you believe you're eating potato chips in a way. They have lots of flavour, a bit salty and a bit crunchy. But they're not chips and they're not deep fried so you don't have to worry about eating a million of them (right?).

As I mentioned there are four flavours:

JIVE – Spicy Chili
HULA – Sea Salt & Pepper
CHARLESTON – BBQ
CLASSIC – Coconut

My favourite were the BBQ.

Best of all these new coconut chips are vegan, organic, gluten-free and GMO-free. I think they'd be perfect to go along with your other appeys this Christmas! Pick 'em up here or get them at your local health food store.

(psst. I was provided the coconut chips, but the reviews are my own. I only want to tell you about things I love after all!)

Chickpea & Rosemary Birdie Crackers (goldfish cracker alternative)

So ya I made crackers. I'm actually not sure what possessed me to choose yesterday to make them either. I had spent the early morning at the hospital with Mila where she got a procedure done to unblock a tear duct. We were home at 9:30. She was exhausted so she went to bed for a few hours. Leo was playing very nicely with his trucks. I was exhausted. I know... let's make crackers! Even better... let's make birdie crackers!

I wanted something that was gluten free so I used this recipe and thought it would be cute to use my little Easter birdie cookie cutter for them (don't have a cute cookie cutter? Check out these fun ones I found on etsy!).

As the commenters to the recipe suggest, add more salt. I didn't and they needed it. Also I added some dried rosemary and garlic powder to the mix for some extra zip. I will add some sort of cheese next time for fun.

They're so cute! I smooshed a few heads and gave a few of the chickies some leg amputations when I was lifting them off the mat but overall they turned out quite nice.

When they were all done I put them in a fancy Ball jar to keep in the cupboard. The kids love them. Well Leo loves the chicks. Mila just shoves them in her mouth and likely couldn't care less what it looked like.

Happy chirping!
