Common Questions about Creamy Original Chao Slices, 7 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? These slices are dairy-free and low in sugar, making them a decent choice for those avoiding dairy or looking for a lighter option. However, they're not particularly high in protein or fiber, so if you're looking for a nutrient-packed snack, you might want to pair them with something more substantial.
