Healthy snack: Blue corn tortilla chips

If you absolutely must have the plate of nachos, then up the nutritional value by using blue corn tortilla chips instead of yellow or white. Recent research out of Mexico suggests that blue corn has more protein and a lower glycemic index than other chips, making a great choice for dieters and diabetics. What's more, according to this article at WebMD, the coloring of the blue corn chip comes from anthocyanins, which are also found in red wine and berries.

Take a small handful of those chips and dip them in this homemade hummus, and you'll have yourself a crunchy, protein packed, healthy snack!
