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?
