Homemade Plantain Chips

Leave a Comment

I love chips!

I’m always looking for new and interesting alternatives to chips!

The main reason is because I could literally eat a whole bag of chips by myself! So when the chip craving strikes, I really need to opt for a healthier chip alternative.

The best and most used tool to making crispy chips at home is my air fryer. It makes small batches of chips which helps me with experimenting with chip ideas but also with portion control lol!

If you’re looking for an air fryer, here’s a highly recommended air fryer from Amazon. This link is an affiliate link so I may receive a small compensation if you choose to purchase from this link. Thank you in advance!

My newest fave chip is made from plantains! Have you ever had plantains before? It looks like a large green banana but it has so many uses. In other countries like Colombia or Venezuela, plantains are used as a mash, kind of like mashed potatoes, or they are use as fritters, or baked or fried to accompany meals. I love using plantains for chips because they become super crispy and they are a blank canvas for any kind of chip flavor that you like.

I love Mangos!

To continue with my love of mangos, I thought it would be fun to share my newest mango recipe creation… my Mangonada Collagen Smoothie!

Mangonada Collagen Smoothie

I was first introduced to Mangonadas from my friend, Jaki. She told me it was her favorite treat and described it to me. It is a mango sorbet that is topped with a Mexican Chamoy sauce and sprinkled with Tajin spices.

Basically, it is the perfect combination of sweet mangos, slightly salty Chamoy sauce and spicy Tajin spices.

The SECRET PROJECT is REVEALED!

GUYS! I am so excited to finally share what my SECRET PROJECT is!

My All-Natural Mango Sauce is now available at Llaollao Natural Frozen Yogurt in Houston!

Llaollao Mango Sauce

I can’t quite believe this is happening!

I have never had a product available at a commercial place before and this is truly a dream come true!

You may remember the article I did on Llaollao a little while back. They are a company the creates all-natural milk based yogurt that originated in Spain. This particular franchise in Houston is the first in Texas and it has been growing a huge fan base because of its delicious, fresh and healthy frozen yogurt, toppings and sauces.

I have always loved mango ever since I was a little girl growing up in Australia. So when Hang Pham from Llaollao approached me to work on a mango sauce for them, I immediately said yes!

I absolutely loved creating this All-Natural Mango Sauce for Llaollao! It is full of vibrant, sweet, tropical flavor from the fresh mangos. The color of the sauce is beautifully golden and it is sweetened with monkfruit sweetener. This particular sweetener has no calories and it has also been shown to help stabilize blood sugar. Pretty amazing, right?!

Llaollao Mango Sauce

If you wanna get your hands on this Mango Sauce, head over to the Llaollao All Natural Frozen Yogurt stand in the Galleria mall, right next to the Starbucks. My Mango Sauce is available for a limited time over this coming Labor Day weekend only! So you gotta get there quick before they sell out!

Also, please make sure to snap a photo of your Llaollao with my Mango Sauce and tag me on Instagram @nourish_with_renata and on FB at Nourish with Renata. I would love to share all the photos you tag me in!

I will also be at Llaollao on Sunday September 1 and would love to take photos of you and your Llaollao!

Finally, I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your incredible support and encouragement! This is an absolutely amazing opportunity for me and I couldn’t have done it without all your comments, reviews, trying my recipes, sharing photos, cooking classes, and everyone who reads and shares my emails and blogs. My heart is so full.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!
