Been going through a banana chip craze. Ive never been a calorie counter so i dont know how bad these things are.

serving size 3/4 cup.

calories = 270
cal from fat = 140
total fat = 16g
sat fat = 14g
cholesterol = 0
sodium = 0
total carb = 30g
sugar 8g
protein 1 g.

ingredients: banana chips, coconut oil, sugar, and natural banana flavor.

There are a lot worse options that's for sure.

Not too great at 270 calories/serving, but it depends on what your goals are. If you're trying to lose weight, I'd find a better snack.

I love banana chips, but I don't eat them because of the info posted in your OP. I eat frozen bananas a few times a week though... Almost tastes like ice cream.

They're a healthy snack for a normal diet, bad if you're on a strict diet.

When I'm cutting I eat these as a dessert, not really a between meal snack.
