Smartfood Giveaway

THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED.

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Smartfood.

I've been struggling with my weight for a long time. As you know, I'm trying to do something about that and one of the main things I'm doing is changing what I put in my mouth. I'm guilty of reaching for the wrong snacks in my pantry and fridge because they're convenient.

When I'm chasing two toddler's around the house it is a lot easier to reach for a bag of chips, a cookie or a candy bar than it is to chop up some veggies or cut up a piece of fruit. I don't even eat Pop Tarts anymore because they take too long to heat up!

Then I discovered Smartfood Popcorn Clusters! They come in 1 oz servings and their stats are awesome. My favorite is the Honey Multigrain and it only has 110 calories and 1 gram of fat. They all have 5 grams of fiber and we all need more fiber to keep things moving right along. It's like a grown up version of carmel corn from when we were kids. And speaking of the kids...I wouldn't feel bad letting them have a bag because there aren't any preservatives.

My husband's favorite is the Cranberry Almond. This choice has 120 calories and 2 grams of fat...still really good compared to the snacks I normally put in his lunch pail. He liked the tang of the cranberry against the sweetness of the coating. Another bonus, only 75 mg of sodium which is great because he has high blood pressure and we try to keep that to a minimum.

Now....if you are looking for a sweet treat and you don't want to waste your calories on a couple of cookies (and I know I can't just eat a couple), you are going to love the Chocolate Cookie Carmel Pecan. Also coming in at 120 calories and 2 grams of fat, this is the perfect dessert snack that won't ruin your diet.

I went through my pantry and looked at the stats of some of our favorite snacks, both salty and sweet and I was appalled. The amount of fat and sodium in some of them was shocking and made me realize that I could be making much better choices. Smartfood is the snack for women who want to indulge without feeling guilty. These would have been so great when I was employed and had to scavenge to find something healthy from the vending machines. I already feel Smarter...knowing that I'm eating a healthy snack. I can't wait to throw a couple of these in the diaper bag so that I have something to snack on when I'm tempted to run through the McDonald's drive thru.

The folks from Smartfood want to give one of my lucky readers a $100 Visa Gift Card!
