Seasoned and spicy potato chips can often be off-limits to those with celiac disease or food allergies. Hidden among the tasty seasonings and flavorings, gluten and other allergens can lurk and hide.

That’s why I’m a fan of Michael Season’s Snacks. Gluten-free with no preservatives, artificial colorings, flavorings or MSG, these snacks are full of flavor but not full of the stuff you don’t need.

The newest edition of the Michael Season’s line-up is the Mediterranean Thin & Crispy Potato Chips. Perfectly seasoned with black pepper, oregano, basil and rosemary these chips are not only delicious, but have 30% less fat than other chips. The other Thin & Crispy Chip (that are all reduced fat as well) varieties include: Honey Barbeque, Salt & Pepper, Unsalted and Lightly Salted (perfect for those of you watching your sodium levels). They also make a reduced fat Ripple Chip that is perfect for dipping.

Michael Season’s also makes Baked Puffs and Curls. These come in fab flavors such as Jalapeno and Hot Chili Pepper. And just two weeks ago, Rachael Ray selected the Baked Puffs as her Snack of the Day! How delish is that?

Another product line Michael Season makes is the Baked Potato Crisps. These crunchy chips that stand up to even the biggest of dippers have 70% less fat than potato crisps.  

All-natural and reduced fat snacking choices, paired up with fun and tasty flavors, are reasons why BeFreeForMe is excited to announce that Michael Season’s Mediterranean Potato Chips are featured in this week’s WIN-It-Wednesday prize package!

Two lucky BeFreeForMe members will win a prize pack that includes a re-usable tote packed with the new Mediterranean Chips,  plus Chip-Clips.

Sometimes I crave a salty snack that is reminiscent of the days before I went gluten free. The type of snack that reminds me of when I was a kid, and I would sit around with my sisters and share a big bag of snacks until all that was left was a bunch of crumbs.

That is why I was excited when Michael Season’s sent me a big box full of snacks that were not only gluten-free, but also a healthier version of the treats from yesteryear.

Michael Season’s has developed what I call “The Cheese Curl for the Big Girl”… a delicious gluten-free cheese curl with at least 50% less fat than the leading brand-name. They have even developed “adult” flavors for their cheese curls, including Hot Chili Pepper Curls and Jalapeno Puffs, along with the traditional childhood favorites, Cheddar Cheese Curls or Puffs. There are also no artificial colors in any of the Michael Season’s products so you can eats these curls and puffs san the construction-zone cone orange fingers. Definitely a plus.

Other favorite Michael Season’s products are the Thin Potato Crisps, which are also casein-free, as well as gluten-free. Sporting 70% less fat than regular potato chips, these chips add just the perfect crunch to any lunch. Guilt-free.

Michael Season’s products are all natural, and contain no preservatives, artificial flavors or MSG.   They use the highest quality ingredients and seasonings; and has gluten-free testing done on their products. Feel good snacking at its best!

All these reasons are why I am so excited that Michael Season’s is this week’s WIN-It-Wednesday sponsor. Two (Yes, 2!) LUCKY BeFreeForMe members will win a Michael Season’s reusable shopping bag packed with the Michael Season’s products of your choice.
