Get Popped! (PopChips Review & Giveaway)

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Coco

I might have a few blog readers who have not tried PopChips™ yet, but PopChips™ certainly have taken the #fitblog community by storm, especially after they were a sponsor at the Fitbloggin’ conference in May.

I first heard about PopChips™ a while ago, when Jillian Michaels was Tweeting and Facebook-ing about them. That intrigued me because, while I know you can’t believe celebrity hype, she seems to be pretty straight-up about her food choices. I looked for them in grocery stores, but never saw them. After hearing so much about them, I was excited when PopChips sent me a case to try out.

I shared the love at work, and instantly created some new PopChips™ fans.  Now it seems like every Monday another friend tells me that they just found them at their local grocery store.  Luckily, I did too–finally!

I am not over-zealous about my food choices, but I do have some standards. I was pleased to read the very short ingredient list on the “original” (plain) flavor, although my favorite flavor, “salt & pepper,” has more going on. The other flavors are barbecue, sour cream & onion, cheddar, sea salt & vinegar, and parmesan garlic.

I was psyched when I saw single serving bags at a deli when I was getting take-out lunch after a work meeting. Those have only 100 calories, and I always appreciate the built-in portion control, especially with foods like chips that are so easy to eat too much of. It really is hard to believe that the single serving bags have only 100 calories–it is a very satisfying portion.

For comparison, here is the nutrition label for Lay’s® potato chips. A 1 ounce serving has only 15 chips compared to the 22 in the PopChips serving, but still has 33% more calories (160 vs. 120) and more than twice as much fat (10 g vs. 4 g).

The only downside of discovering PopChips™ is that they have me eating chips again, although they’ve saved me from a run-in with my son’s Tostito’s® a few times already. As I get ready for a summer of weekend lacrosse tournaments, I am glad to add PopChips™ to my menu of healthy snacks to pack in the cooler.

This giveaway has ended!
