It’s no secret in my family that I am a “salty snack” person. While my daughter may have inherited her dad’s sweet tooth, I tend to reach for the chips & salsa or cheese & crackers at family parties. As someone who is always seeking a healthier alternative to cheese-flavored snacks, I was thrilled to sample Ocean’s Halo ™ Seaweed Chips!

Ocean’s Halo ™ Seaweed Chips are made from organic, sustainably harvested & nutrient-rich seaweed. It is also vegan, kosher & baked, not fried. I’m happy to report that this product does not contain GMOs, trans fats, MSG or other artificial “stuff” – so it truly is a healthier alternative for me & my family. An added bonus for me is that they are a low-cal & low-fat snack!

The Seaweed Chips come in four flavors: Chili Lime, Korean BBQ, Sea Salt and Hot & Spicy. I sampled all four & my husband tried some as well. As someone who grew up eating seaweed flavored snacks, we both wondered how it would taste. Well…we BOTH like it! Ocean’s Halo ™ Seaweed Chips have the seaweed flavor that we know & love, but contain extra spices that we really like (such as Korean BBQ) AND you get the added “crunch” of a chip. The crunch is what sold it for me! There is something satisfying about snacking on a crunchy chip as opposed to the paper-thin nori that we have snacked on from time to time.
My personal favorite is the Korean BBQ, but my husband loves the Hot & Spicy one the best.
So where can you find Ocean’s Halo ™ Seaweed Chips? They are sold in U.S. stores like Whole Foods Markets, Vons, Super Target, Safeway and Fresh & Easy, as well as select markets throughout Canada. If you are unable to purchase a bag at your local store, you can always buy them online at Amazon.com.
I am very happy to see that New Frontier Foods Inc. (a California based company) which produces Ocean’s Halo ™ Seaweed Chips, practices social good. Two percent of their profits go to organizations like the Monterey Bay Aquarium Children’s Education Fund. Also I love the fact that the seaweed chips are packaged in BPI certified, compostable bags. How cool is that?!

I ADORE seaweed! I eat at least 10 if not more sheets of seaweed a day 🙂 SO GOOD! I must check out these products ASAP – the problem though, I could probably go through like 10 bags at a time… And I have a feeling the price tag on these puppies is not the cheapest!
The price point for these snacks are: 3 oz. bag retails for $2.99-$3.99 and 1 oz. bag retails for $1.49-$1.99. I think you’ll find that these are in line with other snack products in the specialty snack aisle! 🙂 Let me know what you think of the taste after you try them!
Korean BBQ flavor? I want to try!
You should definitely try them out! Let me know what you think. 🙂
I discovered these chips a few months ago and love them! I have incorporated them into my regular diet routine and no longer desire the traditional tortilla chip. These seaweed chips are great with hummus too!
Oooh, I’ll have to try them out with hummus. Thanks for the tip!!
