RED, WHITE, & BLUE SNACKS: JACKSON’S HONEST
One of the biggest events in America is here, The 4th of July!! This is the time to have the biggest cheat day ever, I mean like really going in on your favorite meals. What are your favorite snacks? Are you vegan and are you looking for healthier snacks? If so I have the snack for you, the gluten-free snack company called Jackson’s Honest is the real fireworks for this big day. Jackson’s Honest embraces the natural and agriculture of real wholesome living, even more than I have personally experienced in one bag of chips. So fire up those grills and let’s start this celebration early.
Here is my list for the 4th of July:
1.Rippled Red Heirloom Potato Chips:
Native to the high plains of Peru, these highly pigmented Red Heirloom Potatoes are the beneficiaries of a farming heritage back to 6,000 BC. Their burgundy color comes from the same antioxidants found in raspberries, while our wavy ‘ripple’ cut brings out the buttery notes of this heritage potato. These are some of the ways we are committed to using ingredients and methods that are honestly, deliciously better.
Ingredients: Red Heirloom Potatoes, Organic Coconut Oil, Sea Salt
“The Original Coconut Oil Chip.”
OMGG- Oh My Goodness Gracious! This Red Heirloom chips is very light and crispy, with a hint of fresh coconut and sea salt. This nutritious chip is my greatest health-day ever, I just undeniably in love with the wavy shape of the chip which makes it fun for dipping.

Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves 2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste) 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons) 2 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas 8 dashes hot sauce
Directions: Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop the garlic down the feed tube; process until it’s minced. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste, for seasoning, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
2. Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips:
The apple cider vinegar we use combines its sweet apple with the umami of coconut oil and the savory Non-GMO potato to produce a subtle, lasting flavor made possible by the low and slow cooking method we invented to produce coconut oil chips. Never harsh and acidic; these Salt + Vinegar chips are unlike any you’ve ever tried.
Ingredients: Non GMO Potatoes, Organic Coconut oil, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Powder, Sea Salt, Fructose, Citric Acid and Organic Rice Concentrate.
“The Original Coconut Oil Chip.”
This flavored chips was surprisingly DELICIOUS!! The salty and acidic flavor is nice and light, along with tangy finish. Once again the coconut oil flavor is so good and coconut oil is evident which balances all of the components of the chips.

3 large ripe tomatoes, diced or 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juice 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 small green bell pepper, seeds and veins removed, and minced 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles with juice 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions: Combine all ingredients, in a large glass bowl. Stir well with a spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until serving time.
3. Salsa Fresca Tortilla Chips:
Their USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified Salsa Fresca tortilla chips use corn grown by farmers who care about the shared resources of our land and water but also want to protect and preserve the genetic heritage of heritage corn varieties by exclusively using Non-GMO Project Verified Blue corn. And just like the ancient Mayans, we stone grind our Blue Corn using volcanic rock so that the masa retains its hearty feel and flavor. We had to invent a proprietary low-and-slow cooking method to produce the world’s first coconut oil potato chip: well, we had to do the same for making the world’s first organic coconut oil Salsa Fresca tortilla chip.
This low and slow cooking process unlocks the taste and nutrition in the Blue Corn. When combined with our zesty Salsa Fresca spice blend – organic jalapeno, cilantro, chili, and tomato – the blue corn and coconut oil shine like no other tortilla chips you’ve ever had.
Ingredients: Organic Blue Corn, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Tomato Powder, Salt, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Onion Powder, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Tapioca Maltodextrin, Organic Jalapeño Powder, Organic Chili Pepper, Organic Cilantro, Citric Acid, Organic Vinegar, Yeast Extract, Organic Rice Maltodextrin, Organic Paprika Extract, Organic Spices, Lemon Oil, Organic Rice Concentrate
“The Original Coconut Oil Chip.”
This has to be purposeful, do you catch the hint the chips are Red, White, and Blue. I am just having the time of my life, these tortilla chips. The tangy taste of the tomato and jalapeño brings to life an explosion of two nations emerging. I have to mention the organic essence of the rich garden flavored seasoning that brings a Fiesta to the 4th of July.

3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled 1 lime, juiced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 medium onion, diced 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro 1 clove garlic, minced

Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.
