Protein-Packed Popcorn Snacks

Ips Pop Popcorn Provides Serves as a Light, Yet Nutritious Snack

The food company Ips Snacks recently expanded its portfolio with the addition of a protein-rich snack called Ips Pop popcorn. As "the first and only protein popcorn on the market," Ips Pop gives consumers a delicious new way to add more protein to their diet.

Ips Pop is a popcorn snack made from non-GMO corn and enhanced with whey protein. Unlike ordinary popcorn, each serving of this specialty blend contains 5 grams of protein -- which is approximately the same amount of protein found in a handful of almonds. Despite the high protein content, the popcorn is only 150 calories per serving and is appropriate for people with special dietary restrictions such as gluten-free and Kosher.

Available in White Cheddar and Classic Salted varieties, the protein-packed popcorn is a great option for those looking to up their protein intake throughout the day.
