Review: Quinn Popcorn

I had the pleasure of eating the most delicious popcorn I have ever had in my life today. I have Quinn Popcorn to thank for that!

I was very intrigued by this popcorn… it is definitely not your average microwave popcorn. Quinn Popcorn uses a “Three Step System” in preparing your great tasting snack!

First, you pop the corn. Then, you add in the Sunflower Oil, which is high Oleic. Then you add in your flavoring packet.

I received three different flavors: Vermont Maple and sea Salt, Parmesan and Rosemary, & Just Sea Salt. My favorite flavor that I received is the Vermont Maple and Sea Salt. I love kettle corn, the sweet and salty mix, but this flavor knocks it out of the ball park! The blend of flavors that this popcorn contains is absolutely amazing! Add in the maple flavor, and I think I have found the most perfect popcorn!

Quinn Popcorn uses Non-GMO and Organic Popcorn. They use no hydrogenated oil, no preservatives, no diacetyl, and no PFOA’s. It is also Gluten Free.

They also use a bag completely made from paper. There are no chemical coatings and no “scary stuff”. It is also completely compostable. So not only is Quinn popcorn better for you, it’s better for the environment!

Review: Crunchmaster Crackers

I was given the opportunity to review Crunchmaster Crackers. I was so excited to receive these! I love crackers, actually, I love Salty Snacks. It's my greatest downfall. I am constantly looking for healthier options to fulfill my "Salty Snack" Craving. I have to tell you, these definitely hit the spot!
I was able to try a variety of different kinds and flavors. 
Multi-Seed Crackers
Multi-Grain Crackers: Sea Salt
Sea Salt Popped Edamame Chips
Wasabi Soy Popped Edamame Chips
Grammy Crisps

My favorite flavor that I received was probably the Wasabi Soy! The Sea Salt Popped Edamame Chips were also delicious, they reminded me of miniature rice cakes. My second favorite were probably The Multi Grain Sea Salt Crackers. These crackers are great! I love how crispy they are. These are great to eat by themselves, or with dip. 

All of the products a Certified Gluten Free! Giving up gluten definitely does not mean giving up on good tasting foods, and Crunchmaster Crackers proves that without a shadow of a doubt. They use whole grains, cholesterol free, low in sodium and saturated fat, and have zero grams of trans fat!

Review: Mama's Magic Mix

Let me start out by saying that I have tried all sorts of snack mixes. When I received Mama's Magic Mix, I thought I would be getting a regular old snack mix, boy was I wrong!
I received three flavors to try: Banana Split Baby Mama Drama, Caramel Apple Rock Star, and Raspberry Mocha Swagger Wagon. Such Fun names! They were also pretty fun for my taste buds also!

Banana Split Baby Mama Drama has freeze dried bananas and strawberries, salted peanuts, caramel puffs and chocolate covered graham crackers! YUM!

Caramel Apple Rock Star contains freeze dried green apples, roasted cinnamon almonds, caramel popcorn and cinnamon Malt Balls

Raspberry Mocha Swagger Wagon has freeze dried raspberries, roasted almonds, dark chocolate covered espresso beans, and white chocolate chips! 

Normally I would tell you which was my favorite, but each one was great in their own way. I loved certain parts of each. If I absolutely had to pick though, it would be Banana Split Baby Mama Drama. 

All of the ingredients in these mixes are great. The flavors mix together so well. One of my favorite items were the Dark Chocolate covered Espresso Beans. So good! Another favorite ingredient of mine were the roasted cinnamon almonds. They remind me of the almonds you get a carnivals in those little paper tubes. 

I honestly have nothing bad to say about these snack mixes. Go try them for yourself! I promise you won't regret it!

Review: Somersault Snacks!

I was given the opportunity to review Somersault Snacks, little circle clusters of sunflower seeds and grains. They come in several different flavors including, cinnamon crunch, sea salt, salty pepper, sante fe salsa, and Cocoa Crunch. My personal favorite is the Sea Salt and the salty pepper.

These are the most unique snack I have ever eaten. I have never even heard of anything like these. The cocoa is nice and sweet, and you get a nice chocolately flavor, but still can taste the sunflower seeds. It's perfectly balanced. The Sea Salt is a more "traditional" taste. You can really taste the sunflower seeds, which is great for me because I love Sunflower seeds! One of my favorite ways to eat them is on a salad. 

I have to say one of the best parts about these flavor packed snacks, is that they are better for you than most snacks! Each little packet contains ingredients that are all natural, three grams of protein, and six grams of fiber. They are also Nut Free. 

These would be perfect to pack in a sack lunch for your child going to school, or just to throw in your purse for a snack throughout the day. 
Great tasting, Great product! 10/10

Review: eatKeenwa Krunch!

I was given the chance to try eatKeenwa. I wasn't sure exactly how these were going to taste, because I had never had Quinoa before. I wasn't sure what to expect. When I received the package and opened the bag and took a cluster out of the bag... It looked sort of like a granola bar piece. I took a bite, and it was delicious! 
I received four different flavors: Vanilla Almond Raisin, Cinnamon Banana Strawberry, Coconut Cranberry Cashew, and Walnut Date Agave. Usually I would tell you which flavor I liked the most, but honestly, they were all my favorite. I know people hate that answer, but it is the truth. My husband agreed with me, he loved them all and couldn't stop talking about how great these were. I pressed him for which was his favorite and he said that if he had to choose, it would be the Vanilla Almond Raisin. 

You can eat these straight out of the bag, on top of yogurt, or with milk like cereal. I like to munch on these right out of the bag. They are a perfect snack when you need that extra kick of energy. 

When you need energy, eatKeenwa Krunch is an all natural cluster snack that delivers a balanced sweetness and nutritious blast to your body. Each bite is packed with quinoa (keen-wa), an ancient whole grain seed and and source of complete protein- the most powerful protein on earth. The prepare for battle, the Inca ate Quinoa, believing it was a gift from the gods. Charge your energy and power your spirit without preservatives or artificial junk.

One Serving (6 clusters) is only 110 calories, contains 5g of fiber and 2g or protein! This is an amazingly healthy snack, and the best part about it, is that they taste great! 
These are a perfect snack for kids who are outside playing all the time, adults who need that extra pick me up, or teens who need a snack after school to get their energy back after a long day. 
I was extremely happy with these products, and eatKeenwa has made my husband and I a customer!

Review: Pretzel Crisps®

I was given the chance to review Pretzel Crisps! I have to say, I had seen these in stores, but had only ever tried the Original ones. So I was very excited to find out that there are so many flavors! They have: Honey Mustard and Onion, Buffalo Wing, Chipotle Cheddar, Sesame, Jalapeno Jack, Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, Everything, and Original! I was very surprised by the large variety. 

As of late, these have become one of my favorite snacks. With all the different flavors, you can either eat them alone or with dip. My mom's favorite way to eat them is with Spinach Dip, but I prefer to eat eat them just by themselves. They are great either way. 

They taste like pretzels, but they are crispy like a chip! This has got to be the best way to eat Pretzels. 

My favorite flavor was the Garlic Parmesan, but another favorite in my house was the Jalapeno Jack. They now offer Mini's as well! 

As a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator, I am always looking for great portable snack ideas for my clients to help them maintain or achieve a healthy lifestyle. Pretzels Crisps® are a great alternative to potato chips and other snack foods. They contain 110 calories per serving and 0-2 grams of fat (10-11 crisps) compared with 150 calories and 10 gram of fat (1 g saturated) per one ounce serving for potato chips.

The American Dietetic Association and American Heart Association recommend that the public should not consume trans fat and keep saturated fat consumption to a minimum. The American Heart Association recommends that individuals attain five to nine serving of fruits and vegetables daily, as well. Studies show that trans fat and saturated fat contribute to heart disease and raising bad cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, the majority of my clients, as well as most Americans, find it difficult to reduce their calorie and fat intake without sacrificing taste. Pretzel Crisps® are a great option for my clients to maintain a heart healthy, low calorie diet.

For those with special medical needs like diabetes and/or high cholesterol, Pretzels Crisps® does not contain trans or saturated fats and have only 21-23 grams of carbohydrate per serving (1 ½ carbohydrate exchanges). People with diabetes can easily fit Pretzel Crisps® in carbohydrate meal plan as a snack or with a meal and not raise blood glucose levels dramatically. They also do not contain any saturated and trans fat so they a great choice for those following a diet to reduce their cholesterol and manage their heart health.

Pretzel Crisps® easily fit in car glove compartments, lockers, backpacks, purses and desk drawers, making them great for travel or the “on the go” busy professional. These low fat and low calorie treats never sacrifice taste and definitely satisfy that “salt craving” we all house. Pretzel Crisps® come in a variety of different flavors so you never get bored. You can also add these crunchy and versatile snacks to your favorite yogurt, as a salad topper or create something new on your own. Have fun with them. I know I do.

Review: SexyPop Popcorn!

Our household loves popcorn. It's a great snack, and it's even greater when it's healthier for you! SexyPop has low calories per serving, and it tastes Awesome!

I was able to try 5 different flavors: French Butter, Brazilian Coconut, Bangin' Cheddar, Black Pepper and Lightly Salted. I liked all of them, but Bangin' Cheddar was my absolute favorite, followed by Brazilian Coconut. My least favorite, though still good, is probably the Black Pepper. I thought it was a little "spicy". Though I have to say, I am the biggest wuss when it comes to spicy things! My husband absolutely loved the Black Pepper flavor though. 

SexyPop was definitely a hit in my house! I almost had to hide the bags so I could try them all! I loved the fun flavors, and my husband even remarked that he liked how the bags looked. 

I would buy SexyPop for a snack anytime! 

10/10!

Product Review: SkinnyPop Popcorn

Popcorn is Popcorn, right? FALSE. I tore into a bag of SkinnyPop Popcorn today and was completely surprised! I have been trying to focus on a low calorie diet lately, and it has been harder than I have expected. I have a weakness, and that weakness is Salty Snacks. Not only did SkinnyPop curb my salty snack cravings, I didn't have to worry about ingredients that I couldn't pronounce! Because, Guess what? It only has THREE ingredients! Yep! That's it! All Natural Popcorn, Sunflower Oil and Salt. My whole family tried SkinnyPop with me today, and all of us loved it. The most common comment? "This tastes like movie theater popcorn!"
How many of you go to the movie theater with cravings for that delicious popcorn? Well now you don't have to, because SkinnyPop Popcorn tastes just the same, and it's good for you!
It was completely fresh and crunchy, just like popcorn should be!
