You know when you bring food to an office and walk around the jail cells cubicles offering it up to people and everyone gets all awkward like you’re presenting a plate of Anthrax? “No, no thank you. I’m on a diet,” they say. But then you set the plate in the kitchen and it’s magically GONE in, like, five minutes?
Well, my coworkers at lululemon are not like that. No matter what I bring in–be it brownies or cookies or even these vegetables–they’re on me like frat boys on a keg the second I walk in the door. “What’d you bring? Is it vegan? Can I have six, please?” This is why I like these people.
So last week Charlotte-based Tropical Foods sent me some of their York’s Harvest Garden Chips, and by “some of” I mean six boxes. Naturally, I took the surplus to work and it was G-O-N-E before my shift was over.
I was a big fan of the assorted mix–sweet potato, okra, green bean, squash and taro root. Hello, sweet potatoes… duh. And taro root is only the greatest frozen yogurt flavor to grace the Earth. Turns out it’s a good chip, too. The okra I’m not so sure about but something tells me the next time Bachelor Pad is on and I need something to get me through THREE HOURS of reality TV, that box of okra and I are going to be good friends.
You can find Garden Chips locally here in Charlotte at Healthy Home Market and Lowes Foods, or you can order them online here.
Thanks, Scott, for hooking me up.



Thank YOU, Katie, for trying Garden Chips…glad to hear your co-workers loved ‘em, too.
Your frozen yogurt comment gives me an idea…think I could crush up Garden Chips and mix ‘em in as a homemade fro-yo ingredient? I’ve been on a homemade ice cream kick. Veggies in ice cream? Hmmm…
Dare me to try it?
haha YES. the sweet potato chips would definitely work…
Looks so gooooood.
WHY can’t they sell these in Texas?!
