Almonds vs. Chips: The Crunchy Snack Showdown

THE CRUNCHY SHOWDOWN

Both are salty. Both are crunchy. Both are dangerously snackable. But when you line up almonds vs. chips, the nutrition story is very different.

SIDE BY SIDE

Almonds vs. Chips Per 1-Ounce Serving

Typical Potato Chips Daily Crunch Dill Pickle
Protein ~2g 6g
Fiber ~1g 3g
Cooking method Fried Sprouted & dehydrated
Seed oils Usually (sunflower, canola, corn) None
Added sugar Varies 0g
Bonus nutrients Minimal Vitamin E, magnesium, biotin

Chip values are typical for a 1-ounce serving of classic potato chips and vary by brand.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Almonds Win the Afternoon

Chips are mostly refined starch and oil, so they’re easy to keep eating and don’t keep you full for long. Almonds bring protein, fiber, and healthy fats, which together help a snack actually satisfy. And because Daily Crunch almonds are dehydrated, not fried, you get the crunch without the seed oils.
