Trying to find healthy snacks that the whole family can enjoy can be tricky. Especially if you want the the kids to take them to school with them! Fruit? Great at home but an apple seems to do the school run everyday for a week before we finally give up and put the poor battered thing in the bin and as for a banana my kids wont even take one out of the house because it will get squashed, warm, go brown, you name it they have an excuse ready. So healthy snacks on the go are always on our radar when shopping because obviously boredom also sets in if I send the same healthy snack too many times in a row! So I was delighted when we discovered Love Corn.
What is Love Corn?
Love Corn takes a humble ingredient, corn, and turns it into a deliciously crunchy, savory snack that’s both satisfying and a little bit addictive. It is made from roasted corn kernels rather than puffed corn and each piece packs a serious crunch that’s closer to nuts than popcorn, yet they are as flavoursome and as easy to eat as crisps, just heathier.
Love Corn is markets itself as simple ingredients, nothing artificial, which is great, basically each bag is made simply from corn, sunflower oil and simple flavourings like garlic and sea salt.
Each bag is also
- gluten-free,
- vegan friendly,
- non-GMO
- higher in fiber
Our review of Love Corn
Now I’ll be honest when I first heard of Love Corn I thought it would be a snack for me ad not the kids, at the end of the day they don’t even like sweetcorn, hot or cold, so the chances of them eating cold hard kernels of corn (that haven’t even been popped!) was not filling me with hope.
How wrong was I? All three of my children, (5, 13 and 15) loved it. So much so my middle child has even been known to buy his own as a snack at the shop over sweets, that’s how impressed they are with them!
There are so many great flavours to choose from and our current favourites include
- Sea salt – nice and salty but not too salty (goes well with a pint!)
- Sour cream and chive – my personal favourite and a hit with the kids too
- BBQ – which has a nice smokey sweetness to it
but you can also choose from
- Hot and spicy
- Cheese and onion
- Salt and vinegar
- Milk chocolate and sea salt
- Cheesy
As well as the taste being incredible we were also impressed with the packaging as they are nice and bright with each flavour a different colour so it’s easy to see which one you want. I also love the fact they come in different sized bags including 20g bags that are perfect for lunch boxes or snacks on the go and stop you from eating a whole share bag – this has actually been known to happen!
In regards to the price they are more expensive than our usual pack lunch snacks and therefore I wouldn’t buy them every week however, we do all love them and have ordered them from amazon at a great price and have seen them on offer in our local Tesco too so will always stock up when we can and ain all honesty if price isn’t an issue then these are worth their slightly higher price tag.
Overall
We love Love Corn, it’s a great standalone snack for both children and adults, a great accompaniment to salads and goes well with a drink in the evening too. All the flavours are full of flavour and they are so crunchy and addictive they leave you wanting more. We highly recommend them and have made it our mission to try every single flavour just t be sure!
