Hello and Happy Thursday! Because I enjoyed eating fruit mashups, I recently decided to try another product by Revolution Foods called PopAlongs. When I bought them (at Whole Foods), I was a bit suspicious that they would be akin to other similar looking popped chips on the market which I found to be somewhat underwhelming, but they are actually *so* much better and nothing like the other popped chips at all.The flavor of PopAlongs I purchased is called "Simply Cinnamon," and the chips are made from whole grains rather than rice or potatoes. The cinnamon Pop Alongs actually remind me a bit of a Spanish dessert that I loved growing up called Cinnamon Tortilla Crisps (tortillas cooked with butter, cinnamon, and sugar).
PopAlongs are whole grain, contain no trans fats, no high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial ingredients. They come in three flavors: Purely Original, Cheesy Cheese, and Simply Cinnamon (the one I love!). The Simply Cinnamon flavor is 100 calories per serving (16 chips), with 3 grams of fat, 1 gram of fiber, and only 3 grams of sugar (the other two flavors have only 1 gram of sugar per serving). So, one serving is only 2 weight watchers points!
******************
Because I'm such a huge fan of their products, the kind people at Revolution foods have offered to give away a Lunchbox Sampler to one of the fabulous readers of Yummy Diet Food. The Lunchbox Sampler consists of PopAlongs, Revolution Foods Mashups, and Jammy Sammy Sandwich Bars.To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post by 8:00 PST on Friday March 13th. I'll choose a winner at random.
Revolution Foods is also sponsoring their own contest for moms. The cause is very inspiring -- they are looking for submissions from mothers who are revolutionizing how kids eat in their communities. If you are a mom trying to help your kids eat better, it is definitely worth checking out!

Enjoy!

I've never seen these at Whole Foods, but I'll definitely keep an eye out.
I've tried Popchips and didn't mind them. I'd love to see how this brand compares. I've never seen these at Whole Foods, either.
These sound fun! I've got to try to find them.
These sound great! I'd love to win :)
It's hard to eat well on a grad student budget, but these seem like healthy options that are worth a splurge :)
Juliet-would love to try these snacks but no Whole Foods near me in rural Ohio, so to win them would be awesome! Thanks for the great tips on your blog - it has helped me lose 25 lbs in 2009!
I wish I had a Whole Foods nearby. I love to browse the aisles and look at all the cool products.
I would love the opportunity to try these! Thanks : )
I would love to try them. I hope I can find some in my area.
I would love to try these!
Oh, pick me, pick me!!!
I totally agree that other "popped" chips are bland and boring. I would love to try PopAlongs these to see the difference!
I've been seeing Pop Chips popping up on all sorts of blogs lately. They look delish and I'll certainly look out for them next time I'm in WF.
Hi -- I love your website...would love to try these.
P.
Your website is amazing..i would love to try these to see if they are something i would want to try in the future. Thanks.

I love anything cinnamon.
These sound great! Better than similar items I've tried. Definitely want to try some!
Oh yes I've tried these, they're pretty good. The cinnamon flavor reminds me of a popcorn flavor from my favorite place in Branson. Ever hear of The Big Popper?

How funny! Revolution Foods caters lunch to the high school where my husband works! I've had quite a few of the left over student lunches. haha. Small world
Thanks for letting us know about these, I would love to try them! I visited my local Whole Foods for the first time recently, based on your recommendations for Indian food and other things. Keep up the great work!
Wow I would love to try these. They look delish.
MMMMM! They look delicious. I'd love to try them.
looking good!~~~ want to try it out!
These look YUMMY!
We don't have a Whole Foods. We just have one grocery monopoly. And they don't have ANYTHING like this!
86 comments! Holy moley you are popular! Thanks, as always, for your nice comments. I'm not sure how low-cal Ethiopian food is. In my collard green recipe, I actually halved the butter and doubled the greens from the authentic recipe and it still used 2 sticks of butter for a pound of collards and a bag of spinach. But everything in moderation right? You will enjoy it. :)
would love to try these
It's amazing how not only gadgets face through evolution but as well as a kid's food!
Looks tasty though.
I love chips! I want to win the pop alongs sampler!
Hi! I noticed that my website isn't appearing well just in case you want to read what I think about food being the food buff that I also am. Cheers!
These snacks sound yummy.
