One of my goals this year is to eat healthier. This is especially hard in the snack department. I love my crunchy chips. One thing I have always loved is popcorn, though as well. It is easy to turn popcorn into a snack that is very unhealthy, and I often do, by adding tons of butter and salt!
Earth Balance Snacks has helped me see that a popcorn snack can be better for you and taste delicious as well!
Earth Balance snacks are popcorn snacks that come is delicious varieties such as Vegan Aged White Cheddar, Vegan Butter flavor, Vegan Aged White Cheddar Puffs and PB Popps.
PB Popps
Earth Balance is all about having a plant based diet. I normally do not like many vegan things (besides this wonderful blueberry bread from this local bakery here!) and I was initially hesitant, but these snacks from Earth Balance blew me out of the water!
Pros:
I loved the PB Popps flavor, a peanut butter covered popcorn that is light, yet very full in flavor. I also enjoyed the great taste of the Vegan Aged White Cheddar Puffs. They reminded me of another favorite snack I love that uses “real” cheddar, and I loved that these were plant based and tasted just as authentic as real cheddar. The Vegan Butter Flavor was also very good. I love that these snacks are not only plant based, but also non-GMO and gluten free!
Cons:
For some reason, the Vegan Aged White Cheddar popcorn had a funny after taste to me. It was kind of a bitter taste that lingered long after I was done with the snack.
Verdict:
These snacks are so taste friendly (other than the bitter Aged White Cheddar Popcorn) you would not even know they are vegan or gluten free! I recommend these for anyone looking for a healthier vegan/gluten free snack!
