Quinn Snacks - Popcorn!

What's poppin'?

My close friends and family know that I LOVE popcorn!

Despite a bad rap for being an unhealthy snack, popcorn can actually be a pretty good snack choice. It's a whole grain, high in fiber and antioxidants. It has protein and iron and is low in calories.

Quinn Snacks makes a variety of neat flavors of popcorn and they use pure, simple ingredients, non GMO and even tell you where it was farmed!

So far, I've had the pleasure of trying the Super Kale popcorn. It's made with organic dried kale and little carrot too! It's very green in appearance, but don't let that scare you.

I really enjoyed it. It's a nice savory flavor without being overly spicy or salty. It does taste "green" if that makes any sense. You definitely get a kale vibe without it being overwhelming or bitter. Plus, you just feel healthy for eating it! XD At 43 calories per cup, using simple ingredients, this makes for a great snack in my books!

I'm excited to try some more of their popcorn varieties. They also have organic coconut oil, sea salt, white cheddar, and California olive oil in their line of pre-popped popcorn. They also have microwave popcorn in sea salt, parmesan and rosemary, white cheddar, Vermont maple kettle corn, and real butter and sea salt. 

What's your favorite snack or what is your favorite way to eat popcorn? The varieties and toppings are endless!

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
