I’m An Orville Redenbacher Ambassador! Healthy Snacking Challenge

I’m pleased to announce that I was named an Orville Redenbacher SmartPop! Ambassador!  I’ll be taking the Healthy Snacking Challenge over the next month by substituting our usual snacks with Orville Redenbacher SmartPop popcorn.  I’ll also be sharing my experience along with a fun recipe or two along the way.  🙂

With one daughter in elementary year-round school, another daughter in traditional calendar school and a baby who still desperately needs his naps, our schedule is often pretty hectic.  We’re often on the go to sports practices or music lessons and don’t have a lot of time to make snacks.  Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop microwave popcorn is the perfect snack for a family on the go because it’s quick and easy to make and is healthier than most popular snacks. As a mom, I also love that I can give each girl a little bag of popcorn to eat in the car without any worry of mess or food spoiling.

A recent study by ConAgra Foods found that a snack of 100-calorie popcorn, like Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop!, reduces hunger and helps you feel full longer.  That’s perfect for my kids because they’ll feel full and satisfied until dinner and perfect for me because I want to stop snacking on unhealthy foods.  Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn is healthier than other popular afternoon snacks in several other ways:

• 100 percent whole grain – one serving of Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn has two servings of whole grains
• A good source of fiber – three times more fiber than pretzels or potato chips
• Low in fat – 94% fat-free helps maintain reduced calorie eating while still feeling full
• Zero grams of trans fat

I’m looking forward to the “Healthy Snacking Challenge”.  As you know, I’ve been working on losing weight and having a healthy and filling snack in the afternoons will really help. Doesn’t this look good?!

Be sure to stay tuned and learn more about this awesome snack! To join us on the challenge, head over the Orville Redenbacher Facebook page for a $1 off coupon to buy your own SmartPop.  You can also play the super-fun Pop Cam Game!
