Baked Ruffles + Fritos Bean Dip -- (almost) grain free, vegan, low fat

Crazy delicious?

Well, I'll give it "not bad" as far as commercial snacking goes. It is a convenient snack that, aside from a little modified food starch (corn starch I'm guessing), is grain free and vegan, and pretty darn (I'm toning it down after my last rant) low fat. They actually took most of the fat out of the Fritos bean dips when they removed the hydrogenated oils, so there's some more good news for you. As far as flavors go, the hot Fritos bean dip, while not being anywhere close to hot, is tastier than the regular dip. I think there might be one with cheese in it, but it's explicitly marked as cheese flavored dip or something.

Grab a bag of roasted peanuts to go with these and you'll be in grain-free vegan truck stop food heaven. (Just watch for sugar in those drinks . :| )

Are you sure the Natural Flavors in Fritos Bean dip are not animal derived and are vegan?
