Discerning snackers have a lot of excellent choices these days. But when it comes to a classic potato chip, what's the healthiest version? Is there even such a thing as a 'healthy' chip? It depends on what you're looking for, dietitians tell TODAY.com, but some chip choices are definitely healthier than others.
For example, Lay's Classic Potato Chips are made with a blend including canola, corn, soybean and/or sunflower oils, according to the company's website. Vegetable oils like these typically contain a good balance of healthy fats and nutrients, experts told TODAY.com previously. And they can generally withstand higher temperatures. Avoid chips made with animal oils as well as coconut, palm or palm kernel oil, which have higher levels of saturated fat, the dietitians say.
