Because sometimes you just need a yummy bit of crunchy topping for your morning smoothie, a sweet crunchy topping for your protein packed salad or maybe even simply to snack on right out of the pan after you let it cool just a bit!! Ya…this tastiness has you covered in all those areas. Guaranteed you’re going to want to make a double batch, it’s just that good!!

The main reason they’re so delicious and perfectly crunchy is hands down because we use Artisan Tropics plantain strips. No other brand compares. Trust on this, we’ve stopped making our own plantain chips since we’ve found this great brand. They’re family owned and operated, go out of their way to bring an amazing product to market and are absolutely the nicest folks. They have several varieties to choose from and also have cassava strips as well…which are such a fun flavor explosion in your mouth. Light and crispy and a new snack experience you’re gonna love!
