There's a New Snack in Town: Pop Bitties Popped Sorghum

Hop on Pop.

Hop on what?

No, I'm not talking about the Dr. Seuss book; I'm talking about popped snacks!

We all love them, right? From popped corn (the OG) to popped rice snacks and now popped sorghum!

Who is this for:
  • people who are intolerant to corn
  • people who are gluten free 
  • people who love to try new snacks
Sorghum is an ancient grain that has been shown to provide a multitude of vitamins, aid in digestion, support the function of the thyroid glands, aid in the regulation of insulin and balance sugar levels and more! 

Sorghum is also sustainable for farming and drought-resistant. Winning! 

Pop Bitties has taken that ancient super grain and popped it creating a munchy, crunchy air-popped snack. 
The popped sorghum has a similar taste to popcorn with a bit more nuttiness? It's also much tinier than popcorn which can make it a little difficult to just pop in your mouth - I used a spoon lol! 

They come in four varieties: Sea Salt, Sea Salt half dressed, Brown Sugar & Cinnamon, and White Cheddar. 

I found the flavors to be pretty mild. 

If you're interested in trying them, you can find them on Amazon, check their website here: https://www.marksmindfulmunchies.com/ or if you're reading this in real time, I'm hosting a giveaway on my Instagram right now! Check it out here: Instagram Giveaway Post.

Overall, I think it's a unique idea but I probably wouldn't buy it again. I'm not intolerant to corn and I prefer the bigger puffs you get with popcorn. Another alternative if you are intolerant/choose not to consume corn is popped water lily seeds. I get similar crunchy, munchy satisfaction from them! 

What do you think? Would you try popped sorghum? Do you like popcorn?

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul.
