Luke's Organic Chips

Luke's Organic makes one of my favorite types of things to review: snacks!  Salty, crispy snacks, known as chips (at least in the US!) that is.  Except, well, they take a healthier approach, and are organic.
"We believe in simplicity: great tasting snacks that are always organic, non-GMO, gluten-free. We are also committed to being present every step of the way as your snacks grow up from seed to field to chip to you."
While the ingredients are organic, non-GMO, etc, they do not skimp on flavor or make them too healthy - chips are still fried, just in their own sustainable oil blend.

Luke's makes classic potato chips (including some not-so-classic flavors like white truffle & sea salt), kettle style chips (including fun flavors like ... ketchup with mustard and pickle!), healthy sounding MultiGrain chips (made with ancient grains, quinoa, amaranth and millet, chia, black beans, buckwheat groats, hemp, lentils, kale ... you get the point), and, "Lightening Bolts & Clouds".

I tried an item from the "Lightning Bolts & Clouds" lineup, their version of Cheetos, basically, cheesy puffed snacks, available in a thin crispy style (bolts) or puffs (clouds).

I'd gladly try more of their products.
Cheddar Clouds:White Cheddar Cheese Puffs.
"Clouds are in the forecast every day with Luke’s Organic snacks. These White Cheddar Cloud Cheese Puffs taste as good as walking on air with a light texture and crunch made from natural ingredients like organic whole grain corn and rice, a sustainable oil blend, and real cheddar cheese."

Ok, yeah, these were good.  They were puffy and airy but not too light, came in all sorts of crazy shapes that were enjoyable to grab and munch on, and quite flavorful.  They didn't taste healthy, but they also didn't taste heavy and awful for you.

Made from a base of corn and rice, and coated in cheese coating that ... actually contains cheese.  Real, organic, cheddar cheese.  They were very well coated.  The flavor reminded me of Pirate's Booty, which as you may recall from my review, disappointed me lately with the lack of strong white cheddar flavor, and I may or may not have described those as "Styrofoam packing peanuts", but these delivered in the crunch and the flavor where Pirate's Botty did not.

I really just have positive things to say about the product.  Unique form factor, good crunch, great taste.  I'd get them again.
