I’ve taken the “Healthy Snacking Challenge” and I hope you will consider taking the challenge with me. What I’ve done is to swap out mine and my family’s unhealthy snacks in exchange for Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop. I’ve always enjoyed popcorn; I think it’s my favorite part of going to the Cinema. Yummy, salty, buttery, theater, popcorn; It’s a weakness that I haven’t been able to overcome. Realizing that this could be a health problem if it continues, the first thing I need to do is to swap my unhealthy popcorn for healthy popcorn, popcorn such as SmartPop.
I received Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop to see if I could actually take the challenge. I haven’t been that eager to give up my salty, buttery, popcorn; It would take a really good healthy replacement to convince me that I can have the flavor I love without the bad stuff. I don’t have to watch my weight like some people and I’m lucky in that respect, but I do want to live healthier and longer. I think keeping up with the grandkids has kept me younger in some ways, but as today is my birthday, I realize I am becoming more health conscience as I age. Not only that, but I want my grandkids to learn to live and eat healthy while they are young, and while I’m still around to teach them. I am continually trying to explain why something is good for them or why something may be bad for them, I want them to understand that not all healthy food has to taste bad and that because a certain food or snack tastes yummy it is not necessarily bad for them.
Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop is 94% Fat Free and made with 100% whole grains. Calories? Well yes, there are some, BUT, there are only 15 calories per 1 cup of popped popcorn. Calories from Fat? A big whopping 0 per 1 cup of popped popcorn. The SmartPop is a really good source of fiber and has less than 2% salt. After reading what this does and does not have in it you may be thinking yuck, how can something that good for you taste good? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that it does taste good. I don’t say that lightly; I pride myself on being an honest reviewer because that’s really important to me.
How about a good for you snack and a MESS FREE one as well? The SmartPop Gourmet Popcorn comes in it’s own paper pop up bowl. Pop it, eat it and toss it, without having to worry about the calories or the mess. So there you have it, a healthy, scrumptious, mess free snack.
10 of my readers will get a chance to try a box (6 bags) of this Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop so you can take the healthy challenge with me.

I love popcorn… especially dipped in yellow mustard. It is a low cal snack. I don’t have a microwave at home so the only popcorn I have is for the airpopper. It would be nice to have a box in my desk at work….
I love that you can eat a lot of it without guilt!

I llike that I can eat a whole bag of it and not feel ‘overfull’. I have a bad habit of over doing it with the butter so it would be great to have the Healthier style.

I have always liked eatting popcorn. I have not been able to eat it lately with all the grandchildren being too small to eat popcorn. I would love to try the light kind and see how much I would like it.

I already eat this popcorn! I love Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop! Orville Redenbacher’s makes the best popcorn! I can eat this popcorn while watching my favorite show and not feel guilty! In fact, I ate some of this popcorn last night while watching Dancing with the Stars! Delicious popcorn! My favorite snack!
I’ve not had it with the bowl yet but I have had this kind in a bag. I don’t see where you can tell you’re eating something more healthy unless you’re told. I have to eat healthier per doctor’s orders. And the thing is I already thought I was eating healthy but I have a feeling this is on my list of no no’s. Where I got in trouble was my pasta, rice you know everything I Love LOL. Cecil went to the store yesterday and came home and goes I got you something. I take one look at it and start to laugh it was gummy bears which I have loved forever but I can’t eat now. He goes I’m so sorry mom I wasn’t thinking. I told him I have to be able to say no even when it’s right in my face that’s life
Alright I’ve wrote the 1st chapter of me book ;0) HUGS
I LOVE POPCORN BUT HAVE NOT TRIED THIS ONE———–SUBSCRIBE TO THE BOTH ABOVE….

Popcorn is a low calorie food. Popcorn is high in fiber. Popcorn is one of the healthiest grains I can eat. But most microwave popcorn is high in salt and fat because of the extra ingredients that are added to the popcorn to make it taste good.
My Hubs is OVERWEIGHT!! There, I said it. He is trying to lose weight but seems no matter what, he doesn’t lose. I think it is because he has had a lifetime of bad eating choices. He comes from an Italian family and all italian mother know to say is Munga or however you spell it.
He does like popcorn so this would be a great thing to replace some of his snacks with.
Thanks for the great giveaway…
My Mr. loves to eat too. He is a junk food junkie and I’m trying my best to change that.
what’s not to like about hot buttered popcorn?? HEAVEN in a box (or bag)
Ohhhh you like it as much as I do I see
