Anyone Like Popcorners?



Recommended Posts

These are a new treat/snack I found by watching grocery haul videos on YouTube. They're like tortilla chips or potato chips only healthier, made with "popped corn" and come in a variety of flavors. I liked this flavor, the queso, but I like the original Sea Salt flavor the best. I like more plain things. I've included photos both of the front and the back nutrition label. Maybe a little high on carbs, but on WW the points are good for the serving size.

I've had the ones they had at Aldi awhile ago (different brand, but same idea - chips made with popped corn (they were called Flex Popcorners, I think) - plus they had added Protein (I think 10 grams of protein per serving (22 chips - 130 calories)). I think they were a seasonal item since I haven't seen them lately. I liked them. I didn't eat them every day -- just occasionally when I wanted something crunchy and salty. I just made sure to work them into my daily calorie range. (i"m several years out and don't worry about carbs anymore - I mostly just focus on protein and overall calories at this point)

I love pop corners, so I only get a small bag once in a while. They're a real slider food for me - they don't fill me up at all!

@catwoman7 I have some pop corners flex, and I like those, but not as much.

Not sure I understand what differentiates them from regular chips? The nutrition facts are nearly identical. In fact, Doritos have slightly less carbs, for those that watch that.

A better option might be something like Quest chips, as they have significantly more protein:

I've had them and they taste good but they're pretty much empty calories and dangerous because they're not filling at all.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
