I’m totally a snacker. Always have been, probably always will. One of the hardest parts of being an adult with a slowing metabolism is finding snacks that not only do I want to eat, but that don’t head straight to my hips.
I’ve found a great snack {popcorn} that meets the above criteria, and it comes from Orville Redenbacher.
Here’s a few more reasons why I think Orvilee Redenbacher’s popcorn is the perfect snack:
- Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn provides three times more fiber per 1-ounce serving than other snack foods, such as pretzels or potato chips.
- Just three cups of Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn provides an entire serving of whole grain.
- Health magazine awards Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popping Corn, Natural Lime and Salt as the healthiest and best tasting popcorn in its annual America’s Healthiest Food Buys of 2009.
It’s good for me, and helps me stay vain. 🙂 It’s so good in fact, that I want to share the goodness with you.
Orville Redenbacher is providing a lucky winner with a healthy snack package, (pictured below) worth $50.00.

Healthy…that’s not as fun. Usually, it’s a piece of fruit…an apple, or a clementine.
Do I need to tweet for this entry, or is that extra?
The Chewy Popcorn Bars sound great!

I love nuts of all kinds (raw, roasted, salted, candied, you name it!) and the holidays seem to bring them out of the woodwork. Also very popular during the holidays is dried fruit which is another favorite healthy snack of mine.

I really like nuts all year, of course, but especially during the holidays. My mother always sends me mixed nuts with 80%(!) pistachios….It’s amazing how fast I can eat pistachios that don’t need to be shelled!
