Unveiled: The Surprising Potato Chip Brand a Top Fitness Coach Recommends – Find It Outside the 'Healthy' Aisle!

When it comes to snacking, many of us are on the lookout for options that satisfy our cravings without compromising our health goals. It's a common belief that the 'healthy' aisle in the supermarket is where we'll find the best options for guilt-free indulgence. However, a fitness coach has recently turned this notion on its head by revealing his top pick for potato chips, and it's not where you might expect.

Matt West, a seasoned fitness trainer, has shared his surprising supermarket discovery that has many rethinking their snack choices. His preferred snack? Kettle's crushed sea salt chips cooked in avocado oil, which he stumbled upon not in the health food section, but in the regular chip aisle of Coles.


In a candid video, Matt expressed his initial inclination towards vegetable chips found in the health aisle, assuming they would be a nutritious choice. However, upon closer inspection of the ingredients, he was taken aback. 'I was shocked to see that they were cooked in vegetable oils, had added sugar, and a whole heap of other ingredients,' he said. This prompted him to delve deeper into the options available elsewhere in the store.

Matt's advice to consumers is clear: don't be swayed by health food marketing. 'The veggie chips are okay, but there's a better alternative in the normal chip aisle. This isn't to demonise veggie chips,' he explained to FEMAIL. 'Just because foods are in the health aisle doesn't always make them a better option.'


His recommendation, Kettle's crushed sea salt chips, boasts a simple ingredient list: potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt. This straightforward composition aligns with Matt's philosophy of choosing foods with fewer ingredients and enjoying them in moderation. Not only do these chips have a cleaner ingredient profile, but they also contain fewer calories than their vegetable chip counterparts.

Upon taste testing, Matt confirmed that the Kettle chips taste just like a regular sea salt chip, with no discernible avocado oil flavor. This revelation has resonated with many Australian shoppers who are now echoing Matt's sentiments. 'Yes! They're the best. I'm glad I'm not the only one checking the ingredients for everything,' one shopper commented. Another added, 'Delicious - I eat them all the time.'

This endorsement from a fitness professional is a reminder that sometimes, healthier choices might be hiding in plain sight. It also underscores the importance of reading labels and understanding that the placement of a product in the supermarket doesn't necessarily reflect its nutritional value.


So next time you're navigating the snack aisles, remember that the 'healthy' label might not tell the whole story. It's worth taking a detour through the regular sections – you might just find a new favorite that aligns with your health and fitness goals.

There is a lot of healthy food that is not in the health food aisle. You need to check the ingredients an nutrition section + allergens + "may contain"

I found the stars****** are very misleading. A lot have high salt, sugar, or fat in them. Very misleading.
Some of the food with less stars is actually a lot healthier.
