More Americans than ever are concerned about their food habits, according to American Dietetic Associations’s 2008 public opinion survey. But finding a snack that tastes good and truly is low in calories and fat is not that easy.
Supposedly healthy snacks such as trail mix can contain more than 600 calories and 40 grams of fat per cup. Grabbing a smoothie from the drive-through window can add an extra 600 – 800 calories to your day. And, a serving of granola with the wildly popular Greek yogurt packs in a whopping 20 grams of fat and 500 calories.
For people looking for a filling and guilt-free snack, popcorn is a safe bet. At 24 calories per cup, you can have five cups of air-popped popcorn for under 130 calories. But air-popped popcorn can seem dry and flavorless – and adding butter just adds fat and calories.
To keep your popcorn healthy and tasty, Kernel Season’s popcorn seasoning, has introduced a new all natural butter-flavored, zero calorie popcorn spritzer. A few sprays of Kernel Season’s Popcorn Spritzer (suggested retail, $2.79) adds guilt-free flavor to any bowl of America’s favorite treat. The spritzer, made with a blend of canola, sunflower and corn oils, gives popcorn the taste of buttered movie theater popcorn, with zero fat per serving.
If you would like to add additional flavor without adding calories, they also make popcorn seasoning flavors including: cheesy White Cheddar, Nacho Cheddar, sweet Kettle Corn and savory Ranch. Kernel Season’s brand new Premium Raw Kernel Popping Corn (suggested retail, $2.39 per one pound pouch), is nearly hull-less, and weighs in at just 120 calories for five cups.
