Who would have thought that popcorn can be a healthy snack! But turns out this one is! It has no trans fat and even contains 5 grams of fiber per serving! Take this low-fat mini bag of delicious popcorn and jazz up the flavor by adding a little spoon of melted organic butter. I personally love Smart Food Popcorn Clusters with honey flavor, it's one of my all time favorite snacks!
