It can be really hard to find snacks that are filling, healthy and actually taste good. Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop! Popcorn fits the bill. In fact, a study commissioned by ConAgra Foods, found that eating a filling but calorie-controlled snack, such as Orville Redenbacher’s 94 percent fat-free SmartPop! popcorn, will leave you feeling fuller and less hungry than snacking on the same caloric amount of milk chocolate. The study found that participants who ate a 100-calorie portion of SmartPop! popcorn versus two nuggets of milk chocolate (also 100 calories) were significantly less hungry and more full, had less desire for a second snack, and were more satisfied with the amount of food after eating the popcorn. For me, eating a whole bag of popcorn feels more like a splurge than eating a couple of little pieces of chocolate. I love that SmartPop! comes in a Kettle Corn flavor to satisfy my sweet tooth. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and salty. Popcorn is a go-to snack at our house. My three year old son asks for it almost every day and my husband and I also really enjoy it.
