Sweet Pop

Ok ok...I know that I just recently blogged about popchips, but I had to tell everyone about this one! It's a sweet potato popchip. This tasty little snack is something that you are always going to want to have around to munch on. The natural sweetness is balanced with the touch of salt that each chip has. The earthy and deep flavors that are packed into each little chip is amazing. For me, I think that these are slightly addictive. Plus since they are made with sweet potatoes, I like to think that they are slightly better for you than the regular popchips. Don't get me wrong though, I am pretty sure that even the regular potato popchips are better for you than regular chips. Bottom line... the predicted rain for this weekend means that this is the perfect movie snack for all the movies you will probably be watching. So hop on over to the store and pick yourself up a bag (or three) and munch away!

Hip Poppin'

I am always looking for healthier snacks that don't taste like cardboard. A friend told me about these one day when we were in Central Market, so I decided that it was time to try them. What is a popchip you may ask? It is a chip made by popping, rather than being baked or fried. These come in a ton of different different flavors like plain, sour cream and onion, and barbecue. I decided to try the sour cream and onion because I haven't had flavored chips in a very long time and this was one of my favorite flavors. When I took one out of the bag I was surprised at how big it was. It was light, airy, super crunchy, and packed with flavor! It tasted a little bit like popcorn and a little like a potato chip, which was somewhat confusing for my taste buds. It had such a unique texture, but the sour cream and onion flavor sure packed a punch and it didn't feel like you were eating something healthy. I am so glad that I tried these because I am pretty sure that they will be a staple in my pantry. I can't wait to try all the flavors...and the tortilla chips. Make sure that you pick up a bag the next time you are on the chip aisle in the grocery store. You won't be sorry!
