Snacking Better When You Need A Late Night Snack

Snacking Better When You Need a Late Night Snack #SkinnyGirlSnacks #shop

I have lost the ability to watch TV like a normal person. Is this yet another side effect of having children? Everyone keeps telling me about this show and that show and “have you seen it?”  Unless you are talking about the latest episode of Doc McStuffins, then no, no I haven’t. Honestly, the only way I can watch a TV show these days  is to park it on the couch with Hubby and binge watch the hottest shows everyone else has been watching for years in a matter of weeks. Thank you, Netflix! Our current obsession, The Walking Dead. Do you watch? Ahhhh! It’s so good, but something about watching a zombie Apocalypse every night makes me hungry! Actually it’s probably that I ate dinner with the kids at 5:30, and late at night, after watching a few  zombies meet their demise, again, I need a snack. I’m really trying to watch what I eat during the day and working out a lot, and I’d hate to ruin it all by snacking late night with food packed with tons of calories. So this week during our binge watching of season three of The Walking Dead, I served up a few bags of the new Skinnygirl Popcorn and it was fabulous!

I’m already a huge fan of the Skinnygirl line. Have you tried their cocktails and sparkling water? They are so good!  So when I saw this  brand new line of popcorn in  fun flavors, I had to try.  Each box contains mini bags of popcorn that have just 25 calories per cup. So I may be up with nightmares that a zombie is coming after me, but I won’t have nightmares from heavy foods or calories late at night.

The mini bags are actually the perfect size for snacking, but I have to make one for me and one for Hubby. He may have great taste in women ( I mean he married me, right), but he is awful at sharing. Awful! Look how much he takes!

Ridiculous! Get your own bag!

We tried the Lime and Salt and the Butter and Sea Salt and I really liked them both, but Hubby liked the Butter and Sea Salt more. The flavors are very light and not overwhelming. The Lime and Salt tasted a little like a margarita. Yummy!

Another reason that I love the Skinnygirl line is there are no artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, or high fructose corn syrup in any of their products. The whole point of low calorie food is eating better; so I hate when low calorie foods and snacks are packed with such unhealthy ingredients. Really, my palette is far too sophisticated for those ingredients (says the lady drinking from her daughter’s Frozen cup).

I found the popcorn at Walmart when I was buying some snacks for the kids. So while I grabbed some popcorn for them, I was able to grab the Lime and Salt Skinnygirl popcorn for me!

Now I’m fully prepared  for my next binge TV watching session and I’ve got my Skinnygirl popcorn so I can snack away late at night without the guilt. But the big question now is what do we watch next?

    I drink their wine, but I had no idea that Skinny Girl had snacks out now. I suppose those are a lot better than the bow of ice cream I usually have every night, right?

    I love popcorn!
    I haven’t seen skinny girl snacks but I am very familiar with their wine.
    Perhaps popcorn might be a better option for me.. Less headaches!

    I need to make a trip to Walmart and find the popcorn. I’ve not seen it in my regular grocery store and am anxious to try it!

    I love the SkinnyGirl sparkling waters. I really want to try the salt and lime popcorn flavor.

    Snacking is so my problem – especially at night. I love eating popcorn – it’s so crunchy and fun to eat. I didn’t know Skinnygirl made popcorn too!

    The Lime and Salt flavored popcorn sounds interesting! Popcorn that tastes like a Margarita sounds like a great late night snack!

    I love this! I’m not a late night snacker, but I am a snacker. I love finding a snack that’s low calorie like this is.

  10. Ben @ Cheap is the New Classy says

    September 12, 2014 at 8:55 pm

    I love this! I’m a notorious late night snacker, so anything I can find that sounds as tasty as this popcorn that’s also low calorie is a plus.

  11. Kristin says

    September 12, 2014 at 9:20 pm

    Mmmmm butter and sea salt….Now you’re speaking my language. Going to see if I can find this at the grocery store!

    LOVE your frozen cup LOL! Sounds like a nice healthy snack anytime of the day!

  13. Shell says

    September 12, 2014 at 9:52 pm

    I’d need my own bag, too! I’ll have to look for this popcorn.

    Sounds like a great TV binge night and a healthy snack. I love popcorn and the butter and sea salt sounds really good.

    I love popcorn, so much so that my husband and I joke around about me getting “popcorn lung.” I totally need to try the Skinny Girl popcorn!

  16. April @ Everyday Fitness and Nutrition says

    September 12, 2014 at 11:09 pm

    I’m not much of a popcorn eater but it’s a great healthy snack.

  17. Kathleen says

    September 12, 2014 at 11:30 pm

    Oooh I didn’t know they made popcorn now too. Popcorn is one of my favorite go to snacks, so will definitely be trying their brand soon!

  18. Liz Mays says

    September 13, 2014 at 12:32 am

    Popcorn is my favorite snack because it’s low cal, low-fat and takes a long time to eat. I’ll look for this!

  19. Veronica says

    September 13, 2014 at 12:37 am

    Looks like a no guilt way to snack. I usually have some fruit if I am feeling peckish at night

  20. Camesha says

    September 13, 2014 at 1:05 am

    Skinny girl makes everything! I’ll be looking for this popcorn next time I’m in Target.

  21. Kelli Avery says

    Never heard of this brand, will have to check it out when I can. Wonder if they even have it around here…

    I love Skinnygirl popcorn! Especially the Lime flavor! Yummy!

    The skinnygirl brand continues to amaze me! They help me make healthy yet tasty choices!

    I had no idea SkinnyGirl had moved to the snack isle. I only know her wines and cocktails! I think its great she is branching out into other things. It’s such a marketable brand.

  26. Real Life Parenting says

    September 13, 2014 at 10:14 am

    And now I want popcorn!!! Those flavors sound so good!!

  27. Megan says

    September 13, 2014 at 10:17 am

    I also binge watch thanks to Netflix. My current vise is Hell on Wheels. My husband is allergic to corn, so having single seconds like this would be prefect for me.

  28. Scott says

    September 13, 2014 at 10:25 am

    My popcorn has to have butter on it or it doesn’t seem like popcorn to me. Although the sea salt version does sound good.

  29. Rosey says

    September 13, 2014 at 11:31 am

    I’m in a popcorn mood lately. Maybe we’ll indulge this weekend…weekends are the perfect time for snacking. 🙂

  30. Debbie Denny says

    September 13, 2014 at 12:35 pm

    That sounds delish. I have to try this/

  31. Jenn says

    I love the Skinny Girl drink line. I’m going to have to find the popcorn now! a great girl’s night in combo!

  32. Stacie says

    September 13, 2014 at 6:37 pm

    I haven’t seen these in my stores yet. I’m going to have to look now! i love Skinny Girl drinks, I bet these are great too!

  33. Theresa says

    September 13, 2014 at 10:12 pm

    I haven’t heard of this brand of popcorn before, but now I want to try it. Lime and Salt flavor sounds mouthwatering good!

  34. Lisa says

    September 13, 2014 at 10:18 pm

    Now that I know SkinnyGirl is making Popcorn, I’m going to have to get me some. Looks like you had a fun late night!

  35. Kayla says

    September 13, 2014 at 10:38 pm

    I didn’t know this existed — popcorn is a go-to snack for me. Thanks for sharing!

  36. kristin says

    September 14, 2014 at 3:23 pm

    Oh yum! This looks so good! Easy to make too which is great!

  37. Kendra says

    September 14, 2014 at 6:20 pm

    I love this for a late night snack because you really don’t want to have too much to eat late at night. I also like that I can find it at a local Wal-Mart. That means there’s no excuse for me not to get it. 🙂

  38. Barbie's Beauty Bits says

    September 14, 2014 at 8:40 pm

    I used to be able to get plain popcorn years ago but can’t remember the brand. I don’t like butter or salt more so for the calories, so this could be a good option for me!

  39. Lisa says

    September 15, 2014 at 1:14 am

    I definitely need to snack a lot better at night!

  40. KatyRose says

    September 15, 2014 at 9:16 am

    I tend not to snack at night, especially because it seems to make me more hungry the following morning. But when I am going to indulge I love a little popcorn, especially while watching TV or a great movie. Haven’t tried Skinny Girl popcorn yet. – Katy

  41. Debi says

    September 15, 2014 at 12:42 pm

    I need to start snacking better. I have seen this in the aisle at the store. I need to pick it up/

  42. Eliz Frank says

    September 15, 2014 at 12:57 pm

    Popcorn satisfies all my need to chew and pick at things cravings. I’ve tired other options and this is the best of the lot… for me.

  43. Summer Davis says

    September 15, 2014 at 1:37 pm

    Hey, you don’t have to have a sophisticated palate to drink from a Frozen cup. Don’t you know Frozen cups make everything taste better?! Duh. I can’t wait to try these flavors. We don’t live super close to a Walmart (weird, right?!) and I haven’t made the trek to one since Skinnygirl popcorn came out. Next time I do, I’m totally buying them out of Skinnygirl popcorn. Totally. #client

    I love eating popcorn! I didn’t know that Skinny Girl made popcorn too!

    I love how SkinnyGirl comes up with such great ideas. These are perfect snacks for late night munchies. I get up for snacks a lot.
