🩺 HEART Exam at Walgreens, Logansport IN

During a hometown visit to Royal Center, I swung by the Walgreens at 2301 E Market St, Logansport, IN on Sept 8, 2025 around 11 AM. While my sister shopped, I checked the snack aisle for gluten + dairy free options. Here’s what I found on clearance:

• Jackson’s Cheddar Veggie Straws

• Jackson’s Sea Salt Veggie Straws

• HIPPEAS Nacho Vibes Chickpea Chips

🥕 1. Jackson’s Cheddar Veggie Straws (made with avocado oil)

❤️ Health:
Non-GMO, gluten free, vegan, and top 9 allergen–free (yes—even though they smell cheesy). Per 1 oz: 140 cal, 7g fat, 17g carbs, 2g fiber, 2g protein. Base: yellow peas, brown rice, cassava, sweet potato = plant diversity (yay fiber!). A touch of iron + potassium.

🍴 Eating:
Crunchy, salty, and surprisingly cheesy without cheese. Hard to stop at just one handful!

🛒 Accessibility: $3.79 (clearance). More info: snackjacksons.com.

✅ Rating: Sinus Rhythm – steady + snackable.

👩‍👩‍👧 Telling Others: My mom now knows this brand exists—I told her it’s worth a try.

🧂 2. Jackson’s Sea Salt Veggie Straws

❤️ Health:
Similar nutrition: 150 cal, 7g fat, 17g carbs, 2g fiber, 2g protein. Simple plant-based base = same benefits.

🍴 Eating:
Much more bland. Needed a dip.

🛒 Accessibility: $3.79 (clearance).

💓 Rating: Bradycardia – slower beat for me.

👩‍👩‍👧 Telling Others: Might suit kids or adults who prefer bland foods. Still better ingredients than typical chips.

🌽 3. HIPPEAS Nacho Vibes Chickpea Chips

❤️ Health:
Non-GMO, certified gluten free, vegan, upcycled certified, whole grain. Per 1 oz: 140 cal, 7g fat, 16g carbs, 3g fiber, 3g protein. Ingredients start with chickpeas + corn = legumes + whole grains = more filling fuel (MyPlate: ChooseMyPlate.gov).

🍴 Eating:
Nacho flavor nostalgia! Crunchy, salty, cheesy vibes without dairy. Tastes like childhood ballpark nachos—minus the stomach ache.

🛒 Accessibility: $2.99 at Walgreens, also seen in larger groceries.

🔥 Rating: Tachycardia – I want more ASAP!

👩‍👩‍👧 Telling Others: Told my mom (a dairy eater) anyway—these are nutrient-packed compared to most chips. I’ll be hunting these down again.
