Popcorn has a big place in my heart and my son’s too. Making popcorn together was a big family memory for me growing up and now for my son too. The memory that sticks out to him as his first childhood remembrance is sitting on top of the counter while I made pop corn on the stove. He loved to see it pop in the pan. Today, it is a favorite snack of the whole family because it is light and healthy. When I learned that I was going to be reviewing some delicious new product from Jolly Time, we were all excited.
JOLLY TIME Pop Corn is the original popcorn that has been enjoyed for over 100 years, They know that consumers are looking for a tasty, timeless treat that can help attain a more balanced diet. Just because you enjoy butter does not mean that you are also getting all of the fats associated with it. JOLLY TIME has teamed up with Smart Balance® to provide a healthier version of Microwave popcorn for anyone to enjoy.
The Smart Balance® blend that is in the New JOLLY TIME Microwave Pop Corn in Butter and Light Butter with Smart Balance contains a unique blend of polyunsaturated fats, monounsaturated and saturated fats that can support healthy cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range. There is not hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils and no trans fats. This new line gives you the balanced fats that taste great! JOLLY TIME is a gluten-free, whole grain snack and all of their corn is GMO Free product!
We were sent a JOLLY TIME Smart Balance trial pack that contained: (1) box Smart Balance® Butter, (1) box Smart Balance® Butter Light and (1) heart-shaped bowl to try out. While we love to make traditional corn, I do keep microwave pop corn in the house for emergencies.. LOL So this was a welcome product!
Both of the products tasted wonderful! I could barely tell the difference between regular and light. The taste was great with no weird after taste left which I will sometimes pick up from other brands. The kernels popped nice and large. Plus they almost all completely popped.
To Help kick off the new product line, JOLLY TIME is featuring a “Nurture a Healthier Lifestyle” promo which will run for a full four weeks from June 17 until July 15 on Facebook. Each week, they will have a specific theme (exercise, rest, diet, and community) with inspirational quotes and action tips. The campaign will be accompanied by a contest where fans can enter each week to win awesome prizes that encourage a healthier lifestyle. Entrants will also be eligible to win Smart Balance coupons, and winners will be selected at random.
