Snack time can be difficult when you have a bunch of small children. We try to keep the snacks healthy but obviously, you have to find something that the kids will enjoy. With five, it can be tough to find something that everyone can appreciate.the little kernel flavors

The Little Kernel is a new brand of popcorn popped in 100% pure olive oil and co-founded by Chris Laurita of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. For those of you who have children with diet restrictions, you’ll be happy to know that it’s gluten-free, non-GMO, dairy-free, kosher, and made with certified whole grains. I absolutely love the fact that this popcorn is mini! It’s a teeny tiny popcorn kernel, fitting perfectly into those tiny toddler hands and mouths!

My first thought would be to inquire about the taste. Sometimes healthy snacks taste, well, healthy. You know what I mean, right? That’s not the case here, The Little Kernel is absolutely delicious! My husband is the biggest food critic so I let him taste it and even he agrees that it’s full of flavor. Speaking of flavor, there are six different flavors: Naked (that’s no salt added, regular popcorn!), Truffle Sea Salt, Sweet & Salty, Pink Himalayan Salt, White Cheddar, and my favorite so far, Butter! We didn’t get our hands on a bag of The Little Kernel White Cheddar yet but you better believe that we will and I won’t be sharing it with my husband because I know that he’ll scarf the entire bag down.

The mini size of this popcorn is incredibly convenient. I feel like average popcorn is a bit bulky to fit into a zippered snack bag but these are just the right size to send along for snack or lunches at school. Bigger popcorn is also somewhat of a concern still with my one year old so we are loving these bite-sized pieces! Also, don’t assume that my frequent references to kid things means that this snack is just for them! I ate almost the entire bag of the butter flavor myself! The calorie count is a lot lower than a lot of the popcorn I’ve encountered so you might just be able to fit this into your own diet!

To wash down our popcorn, we also gave a taste to the AquaBall flavored water! I’ve seen these waters around and they caught my attention because they all have adorable Disney characters displayed on the bottle. They’re cute little rounded water bottles containing 10 ounces of naturally flavored water. AquaBall is a good source of Vitamins B3, B5, B6, and C. They have absolutely no artificial flavors, colors, or sugar! Since we heavily limit the sugary drinks and artificial flavoring in my house, we are thrilled to have a yummy option for the kids!

AquaBall comes in Berry Frost, Fruit Punch, Grape, and Strawberry Lemonade and features the faces of so many of your children’s favorite Disney characters like the princesses and superheroes. We actually passed out AquaBall as part of our son’s birthday celebration and I think they made for the perfect party accessory! We would definitely buy these before purchasing any type of juice box in the future! Also, at least these can be closed up with the lid if your child doesn’t finish it right away. Goodbye big squeezy mess, right?!
