New Thing of the Week: Poppin' Fresh

This week, on a whim, I tried some Popchips! I hadn't intended to buy them, but saw them while in Target and they sounded familiar, so I figured I would give it a go.



I tried the Whole Grain, as well as the BBQ Potato.

Whole Grain was eh. Alone, I didn't really enjoy them, but with copious amounts of Whole Foods' Hummus, I adored them - which really means, I adored the hummus. The flavor of the WG Popchips just fell flat for me - though they were low in points for a serving (2), satisfied the need for a crunch, and allowed me to check off WG on my GHG list.

BBQ was trouble. SO delicious. I could eat the whole bag (which is 3 servings) in ONE sitting. The BBQ flavor was great, the crunch was satisfying, and they reminded me of Glenny's BBQ Soy Crisps. I'm debating whether I will be buying these again - it could EASILY be a trigger food for me, they are so good.

HOWEVER, I would seriously consider buying them again to pack in a lunch - aka eating them somewhere that I will NOT have to worry about swallowing the whole bag while I sit on the couch.

The thing that DOES really excite me about these is that when I move back into my dad's house, I think these WILL go over well with my dad and brother, and I can sub them in for regular potato chips while grocery shopping.

Score!

  1. I bought some pop chips recently after Jillian posted on her facebook about them. LOVED the cheddar & i think it was parmesan & garlic? Id love to get single serving bags. Even if you were in a big snacky mood, the 3 servings wont kill your points like a bag of Stacy's Pita chips will do to me!

  2. You're right! I love those Stacy's Pita Chips, too, but they're kinda POINT-y.
