Wai Lana Adds Superfood Chips to Her Healthy Snack Line
Sacramento, California

Wai Lana, healthy living advocate and host of the long-running public television series, Wai Lana Yoga, has introduced two new Superfood snacks, Chia Cassava Chips and Turmeric Cheese Cassava Chips.

“If you crave a crunchy, savory snack, the punchy taste of these delicious cassava chips are sure to satisfy you,” says Wai Lana. “With the added superfood ingredients, they make the perfect guilt-free snack.”

These are an exciting new addition to her popular line of award-winning gluten-free snacks which include Wai Lana Cassava Pops, Wai Lana Cassava Chips, and Wai Lana Fruit & Nut Bars—recipients of the 2016 Healthy Gourmet Snacks awards for Flavor, Uniqueness, and Healthiness.

In regards to Wai Lana’s cassava chips, one judge commented that her “cassava chips have such a pleasant mouth feel … and are light and tasty.” Cassava (also known as yuca) is a nutrient-rich, flavorful alternative to the ordinary potato. Native to Central and South America, cassava is the root vegetable of choice for nearly a billion people worldwide.

Wai Lana, author Wai Lana’s Favorite Juices and Wai Lana’s Favorite Soups, explains her motivation behind launching a snack line, “I wanted to give people more options for their health. It’s easy to reach for something quick when you’re hungry, so I wanted to offer snacks that people can enjoy and that will provide them with good nutrition.”

Superfood Snacks

Wai Lana’s cassava chips are a flavorful, less fattening alternative to potato chips. Wai Lana’s Chia Cassava Chips feature chia seeds, an ancient superfood that were consumed by Aztec warriors before they went into battle. “Chia” is actually the Mayan word for “strength.” Her Turmeric Cheese Cassava Chips contain turmeric, an ancient superfood often used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its healing properties. These indulgingly delicious, gluten-free cassava chips offer a crispy, crunchy, and one-of-a-kind snack experience.
