Pinole Chips by Bob’s Natural

With the indulgent holiday season over, millions of us are now on the lookout for healthier foods that help us stay in – or get back in – shape without sacrificing the flavors we love for the summer. Fortunately, a new line of pinole chips from Bob’s Natural is an ideal option for anyone looking for a protein and flavor-rich snack at home, at work, during a workout, or on the go. Introducing Pinole Chips by Bob’s NaturalSnack Fuel in the form of a Healthier, Tastier, and Protein-Packed Tortilla Chip. Protein is dominating the snack sector and health-conscious consumers are choosing snacks with high protein levels and more nutritionally balanced ingredients. However, according to Bakery & Snacks, taste is what ultimately determines the repeated purchase of these products. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find products that don’t sacrifice flavor for health. Bob’s Natural has introduced its all-new Pinole Chips to fill this void in the snacking category.

Featuring the super-power of Pinole (an organic corn treated with lime), chia seeds, and dates, these delicious chips are packed with 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber per serving, making them the ultimate Snack Fuel. While most protein-infused products include whey (which contains dairy), Pinole Chips are dairy-free yet still deliver a high source of fiber. Available in traditional, chili lime, and BBQ flavors, they’re delectable on their own or paired with dips, salsas, and spreads. The Founder of Bob’s Natural, Bob Gruder set out to develop the perfect snack, which could be enjoyed every day. His Pinole Chips are based on a recipe from the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, which documents the lives of the Tarahumara Indians who ate pinole as a staple. Just two ounces of pinole provides 7 grams of fiber, 40 grams of complex carbohydrates, and 100 milligrams of the antioxidant anthocyanins. To craft the perfect tortilla chip, both in taste and nutritional density, Gruder blended pinole with brown rice protein, chia seeds, Masa Harina, and dates. The result is a tortilla chip with a hint of natural sweetness and packed with nutrients like B and K vitamins, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and potassium. Pinole is an ancient grain mixture and superfood used by Mexico’s Tarahumara Indians as sustenance for long-distance running. The pinole is a slow-burning fuel source, and it is treated with lime (the mineral, not the citrus fruit), which aids with digestion. “The Tarahumara tribe have incredible health, mental drive, and stamina. It is not uncommon for them to run 50-100 miles each day,” says Gruder. “I believe part of the secret to their success is nutrition. My goal is to expand the options for healthy snacks that also taste great. Our Pinole Chips offer a dense source of incredible nutrients that are an easily digestible food that won’t leave you with a sugar crash.” From athletes seeking the best quality carbs for pre-workout calories to moms in need of a healthy snack to slip into their kids’ lunchboxes, to on-the-go students and commuters who want a tasty snack with added nutritional value, Bob’s Natural Pinole Chips are Snack Fuel for any occasion. Bob’s Natural’s Traditional Pinole Chip adds a slight sweetness to the traditional tortilla chip, while Chili Lime and BBQ Pinole Chips satisfy those craving a kick with a zesty mix of spice and sweetness. Bob’s Natural chips are gluten-free and non-GMO verified. Dedicated to improving the health of others and paying respect to the culture that inspired its chips, Bob’s Natural dedicates a portion of its profits to the Tarahumara Children’s Hospital.
