Skinny Pop popcorn is our Dietitian's Top Pick because among salty snacks it has one of the highest NuVal scores. It also has a very simple ingredient list. Take a look:
Ingredients: All natural popcorn, sunflower oil and salt.
It also has a pretty great nutrition profile. We often will sample this (or similar) popcorn on our diabetes tours because you can have 3 1/2 cups of popcorn for only 15grams of carbs (and 3g of it is fiber!). It also earns a gold start for it's low sodium and fat content.

This popcorn makes for a great movie night snack or snack for kids (lunchbox or after school snack). So let this be a fair warning, if you see Skinny Pop in our stores you better grab it because it may not be there when you return!
Happy snacking!
