Hi everyone! :)
I am excited to tell you all about the latest BzzCampaign I had the privilege to participate
in. It's called the "Smartfood Selects BzzCampaign", and I received a free small bag of the
Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips, a free small bag of
the Smartfood Selects Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips, and a full size bag of the
Smartfood Selects Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn. I received these for free, in return for my honest opinion about these products which I would share with BzzAgent and all of you, my friends and family. The Smartfood Selects as the name suggests stands for a healthier way to snack, and all of these snack items are very
healthy, because they are produced without any artificial colors, flavors or
preservatives, they contain 0 grams trans fat, no MSG, and all of them are kosher products.
The first product I would like to review here are the Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips, and here is what Smartfood writes on their website about the flavor combination and taste: “Herbs are a natural accompaniment to cheese. This delicious
recipe combines feta cheese with rosemary, basil, and black pepper for a flavor
that perfectly complements our hummus popped chip.”The chips came in a small
0.8 ounce bag, and the nutritional facts stated 110 calories, 0.5 grams saturated
fat, 170 mg sodium, and 1 g sugar. As you can see, this is a much healthier
snacking option than regular chips. The flavor blend of feta and herbs was delicious. I
enjoyed the crispiness of the chips also, they were really yummy, like gourmet chips!
The next variety I would like to review here are the Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus
Popped Chips. Here is the desciption of their flavor as stated on the
Smartfood website: “By roasting the garlic in this hummus-based popped chip,
we've caramelized its natural sugars to give it a sweet flavor. Parmesan,
tomato, basil, and thyme complement the garlic in this scrumptious, smart
combination.” With only 100 calories,, 0 g trans fat, 0 g saturated fat, 130 mg
sodium, 1 g sugars, these are also a much healthier option for you to snack on. Each bite
was loaded with yummy flavor, and they were gone in no time, since this bag was
also only a 0.8 ounce bag, just enough to try the flavors, and leaving me longing for more. Yum! :)
Last, I tried the full size bag of Smartfood Selects Buffalo
Cheddar Popcorn. One of the best things about the packaging is, they are
resealable bags! This is a much needed and desired feature! No more stale left
over snacks, that no one wants to touch anymore and are left to throw away.
The Smartfood website describes the flavor of this variety as follows: “This zesty flavor
combination is inspired by spicy buffalo wing sauce, cooled by cheddar cheese.
It's made even more delicious with hints of cayenne pepper, vinegar, paprika,
garlic, and onion.” My opinion on this popcorn flavor is, they are much too
strong and intense flavored for my taste buds, while my husband and children enjoyed
them, even though my kids needed to have plenty of water to drink to lessen the
intenseness of the zestiness. :) Here is a picture I took of the bag, before our family movie night! Check out the resealable top of the new full-size bags! Very cool and clever!!
My overall opinion of the Smartfood Selects brand is very positive! I love the fact that my family and me have the option to snack healthier. I must admit I am very interested in trying the other available flavors, too, but especially the Cinnamon Brown Sugar
Popcorn, as well as the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Whole Grain Popped Chips. I will
definitely be looking for them when grocery shopping. I can’t wait to give them a try!! :)
And if you would like to snack smarter with real herbs and spices, and no artifials, you
should give the Smartfood Selects snacking products a try!!
