Orville Redenbacher’s Healthy Snacking Challenge

orville redenbacher's

Although I always try to stick to somewhat healthy snacks, this time of the year (right before summer), I am even more inspired to not only be healthy, but to fit into my favorite shorts!  I was invited to take the “Healthy Snacking Challenge” where I would substitute Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop popcorn for my usual snacks. Well, this sounded pretty easy, as I already love popcorn!

Not all popcorn brands taste the same though.  Believe me, I have tried just about every variety and brand available.  I love the butter flavored popcorn but some of them are disgustingly greasy.  Another thing that I dislike about some popcorn is that when popped, instead of being “big”, the popped corn is so tiny and “shriveled”.  Yuck.  The best kind of popcorn? Big kernels that pop into light and fluffy popcorn.  That is where Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn has many other brands beat.

I love eating snacks that I don’t have to feel guilty about. Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop contains only 100 calories per six cups, and it is 94% fat free. I love that I don’t have to sacrifice flavor when trying to snack healthy. Orville Redenbacher’s Whole Grain SmartPop popcorn is a good source of fiber, and contains no trans-fat. Now THAT is something to be happy about.

There are so many snacking choices available these days, and I am just thrilled that I don’t have to feel guilty anymore. Previously I would snack on cheese and crackers usually (not terrible, but not incredibly healthy either). Cookies are typically the snack I would run to when was craving something sweet. Since I have discovered Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop Kettle Corn, I don’t feel deprived and I actually prefer it over sweet snacks that contain loads of sugar and calories.

This was a really fun and easy challenge.  I thought I might miss my usual snacks a bit more, but I really don’t.  Of course other favorite snacks are fine in moderation, but if I’m not missing them, then I am not eating them!  I also feel good when I offer healthy snacks for my family.  SmartPop will definitely be a staple in our home from now on.

Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop popcorn is also available in mini bags too – which are perfect when you just want a little snack. If you are craving something sweet and healthy, you might try SmartPop Kettle Corn (also available in mini bags!). This is one of my favorite sweet snacks!

Here is something fun for you! When you visit the Orville Redenbacher’s Facebook page, you can play a fun game called Pop Cam! You will use your webcam (don’t worry, you won’t be recorded), to catch imaginary popcorn out of the air! My friends and I used to try this when we were teens, and I was pretty good if I do say so myself!  Of course we didn’t have the internet back then, but if we did, I could totally see us trying the Pop Cam game!
