Congratulations, Nelsby! You were comment #310, which makes you a winner!

The contest is now closed, but stay tuned for more great reviews/giveaways!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and SmartFood.

Have you tried the new SmartFood delightful snacks yet? They are simply scrumptious...and you want to know the best part? They are delicious AND healthy. How many times do those two words actually fit in the same sentence? SmartFood is the snack for women who want to indulge without feeling guilty. We've got enough guilt to deal with on a daily basis without adding food into the mix, right ladies?

Now before you write me off for calling Cranberry Almond, Honey Multigrain, and Chocolate Cookie Carmel Pecan popcorn clusters "healthy", let's look at the nutritional facts together.

Here's the label from my personal favorite, Cookie Caramel Pecan:

* 2g of fat

* 120 calories

* 5 grams of fiber (21%)

* 200mg of calcium (20%)

* No MSG

All in one whole package!

Fiber and calcium something we chicks can't get enough of!

Who knew nutrition could taste like caramel corn with chocolate?

SmartFood is the perfect hold-me-over for any woman. Working, Student, Mom, or Retired, we're all on the go. SmartFood grab and go packets make a having a sensible snack an easy option for once!

"Girls Night In" may never be the same again!

Lorie Shewbridge on July 9, 2009 at 12:01 PM said...: We take turns bringing food to one of the girls houses, and I usually bring the WINE (always wine). There always has to be chocolate. The food is NEVER good for you food, it has to be stuff we tell the kids (who are NOT there) not to eat too much of because it is bad for you! :-)
Then we talk about EVERYTHING well into the night.... and MUCH laughter ensues, and sometimes tears, but that is what we are there for, always for each other!

Christine said...: My typical girls night in usually means some type of "creative" cooking my friends and we love to experiment with new foods and flavors but the kids and husbands are not always so willing so that is perfect for just the girls. Then we gossip, catch up, and enjoy the meal. Then it is time for a "chick" flick with some popcorn and something sweet that we have made earlier too.
