#PERFECTCRUNCH WITH CALIFORNIA CRUNCH
Being healthy had become an obsession lately to most people. I think one of the reasons why is the health's social media presence and impact. It had given more awareness to people - we became more exposed to the benefits of being healthy and the ill effects of unhealthy things. But with the slavishly following of the latest so-called healthy eating trends, this had caused unhealthy habits as well. This is why one must still remember "Being healthy is about balance".
My personal experience - I exercise as much as I can (Let's Zumba! or Tara jogging.:))) When it comes to my eating habits, I have no restriction whatsoever. I eat salad, I eat pizza. I practically eat anything! And one of my guilty pleasures is eating a bag of chips. I mean once you pop a bag, there is that point of no return. That's why I am always on search to healthier alternatives. I know eating junk food is really bad for my health. And the recent alternative food I tried and definitely recommend is the California Crunch (Cassava Chips).
California Crunch (Cassava Chips) is a healthy and delicious alternative to potato chips. Its main ingredient, cassava (Manihot esculenta), is a woody shrub from the family Euphorbiaceae. It is an annual crop in tropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root - a major source of carbohydrates. Considered as the third largest source of carbohydrates in the tropics after rice and corn, I find this source a bit tricky to perfect since it must always be properly prepared before consumption - improper preparation of cassava may leave residue of cyanide, a chemical compound that may cause food poisoning and intoxication. One thing I love about cassava though, is its sweet and bitter taste.
Unlike the potato, cassava also has twice the fiber and more potassium content. The California Crunch also has 30% less fat than potato chips and 0% cholesterol.
The California Crunch comes in two flavors - Barbeque and Sour Cream&Onions. I am not the biggest fan of barbeque flavored anything even though many people say it is nearly spicy flavored (which I love).. but their barbeque flavored chips is a game changer! I just love its flavor - the perfect combination of sweet, tangy and spicy. I also love the California Crunch's packaging. I find it classy and very informative.
You can purchase the California Crunch at most supermarkets nationwide. The 120 g pack is 145 pesos. To know more about the California Crunch Cassava Chips, you can visit their website www.calicrunch.com or their Facebook page www.facebook.com/calicrunch
