{Giveaway} Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn, Popcorn Bowl and Recipe Mix-ins

|

'Tis the season for delicious holiday food and dreaded extra calories. It's this time of year that many people tend to forgo with the counting of the calories as we try to devour as many holiday treats as we can before the New Year's resolutions make their way into our lives at the first of the year.

There are many healthy snacks out there but a lot of them tend to be a little on the boring side...and then there's Orville Redenbacher's popcorn. Orville Redenbacher's popcorn provides three times more fiber per 1-ounce serving than other snack foods, such as pretzels or potato chips...and who doesn't love popcorn, right? I know I could sit down and enjoy handful after heaping handful of popcorn and never grow tired of it.

I'm excited to chat more about healthy holiday snacking during tonight's Girls' Night Out Twitter party. If you're interested in learning more about this topic like me, feel free to join the conversation tonight!

In the meantime, be sure to enter this fabulous giveaway hosted by Orville Redebacher's...it's perfect to help you enjoy healthy snacks during the holiday season.

I absolutely love trail mix as a healthy snack. Cashews and almonds, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, pepita (pumpkin seeds) and white chocolate chips. (OK, so maybe the white chocolate chips aren't that healthy.) Thanks for the opportunity to win this prize pack. I didn't even know Redenbocher made Lime & Salt popcorn! Yum!

Kelly said...

We have been munching on homemade chex mix this weekend. But honestly popcorn is my favorite snack anytime of the year. I have worn out a number of air poppers through the years!

Kelly said...

Extra entry - I would love to try making a pie crust from popcorn - very neat!

Stacey said...

Loove their 100 calorie mini packs of Kettle Corn for sweet and salty treat! But, if I'm honest, my favorite mix in is peanut M&M's....I try to limit the number, but who am I kidding? Each handful of popcorn and 1 M&M is divine!

Catherine said...

I'd like to try the Orville power bars recipe. Looks good.

Catherine said...

And my favorite healthy snack this time of year is pumpkin smoothies! They are delicious, with a taste of the season, but totally good for you. :)

I don't know how super healthy they are, but I like the mini candy canes when I am in the mood for peppermint rather than trying to eat a fullsized one. Thanks!

I just picked up a bag of almonds in the shell at the grocery store the other day. They only carry them this time of year, so I kind of think of it as a holiday treat. The worst part is shelling them for the kids. I want them for myself!

Chewy popcorn bars sound like a healthy alternative to rice krispie treats. If they taste as good, they might become a staple around here.

To me, oranges are a holiday snack because I always got them in my stocking when I was a child. I still love eating them, but seem to eat more of them at the holidays than any other time.

I love popcorn! I usually make it myself, and add just a little "I can't believe it's not butter" spray and salt. That and some light beer is the PERFECT snack! ;)
