Due to growing concern over health, people nowadays look for better alternatives to usual snacks. I bet a lot of people just love that taste of a bag full of potato chips that varies in flavor. It is really good to taste but not that good for your overall health. Aside from being high in salt, it is also high in saturated fats and most have preservatives in them. Then came multigrain snacks. Granted that they are better than potato chips (because of the fiber) they are no different from potato based snacks in terms of saturated fat and salt .
I now introduce you to AM Soyami Soya Chips. Yes you read it right. This goodie is made from soya, the same main ingredient used in making tofu. I’ll give you a little background information about soya first.
Soya
Soya is made from soybean or soya bean. It is legume native to East Asia. In fact, this plant was first cultivated in China some 4000 years ago.
Soya is naturally rich in protein as well as isoflavones.
Soya is processed to make many different foods like tofu, soy sauce (a condiment popular in Asia), soy milk and even delicacies like taho in the Philippines. Taho is actually a soft and silken tofu topped with caramel.

Now, lets go back to soya chips.
Am Soyami soya chips come in three flavors: Original, Pizza and White Cheddar.
Original Flavor

They actually taste good. Crispy and crunchy yet refreshing to taste since it is not oily and you won’t feel the heavy feeling after eating junk foods. They are also quite bland but flavorful in my taste. Salt content is just right to exude the flavor. This is actually a light and healthy snacks you can enjoy at home, work or school.
So why not give it a try? :)
