Product Review Smartfood Selects Snacks
I had the opportunity to participate in another Bzzagent Bzz Campaign, this time for Smartfood Selects Snacks. I had not heard of these snacks before this campaign so I was excited to try them. No, let me rephrase that, I've had the Smartfoods White Cheddar Popcorn before (which I LOVE) but I had not heard of the popped chips or the granola coated popcorn before. (I cannot wait to try the Honey Cinnamon Pecan flavored Granola Coated Popcorn! Could it have a slightly shorter name though?!)
In my Bzzkit I received 1 large bag of popcorn and 2 smaller bags (single servings) of their popped chips. The popped chips (shown above) come in a .8 oz bag which contain 110 calories, 4.5 g fat, and 3 g protein. (I'd eat it just to get the added protein!).
Both flavors were really good, however I preferred the Garlic Tomato Basil over the Feta Herb. Although this says "Feta and Herb," I really could only taste the herbs. Not that it was a bad thing, but I LOVE feta and was searching to find the flavor of it, and sadly I could not. I felt the Garlic Tomato Basil flavors were more prevalent and easier to detect. These have a great crunch. I ate the Feta Herb ones while working during lunch one day and apparently I inhaled them because they were gone before I knew it. :(
I also was able to try the Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn. Oh my is that spicy! You can really taste the cayenne pepper in this snack. I am not a huge fan of spicy foods but I could not stop eating this popcorn. My mouth was on fire after eating a few pieces but I was completely addicted to eating it as long as I could before I couldn't stand the heat anymore. :) I can't eat it all the time, but it was so good I would definitely eat it again...and probably again. It's GOOD! I am super eager to try the Parmesan Herb popcorn too!
What I love about this brand is that there are both sweet and savory snacks to enjoy. Basically there is something for you for whatever mood you are in! On "it's-been-a-rough-day-at-work" day, the Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn will get your aggression out. And the Sour Cream Onion Puffed Corn is perfect for the "I-need-something-healthy-to-eat-with-my-take-out-sandwich" days. The next time I'm in a "I-need-a-pick-me-up" mood, I'm going to grab a bag of the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Popcorn. So many great choices with this line of snacks!
