# Collagen-Infused Popcorn Snacks SkinnyPop's Popcorn Supports Healthy Nails, Hair, Skin & Joints By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-11-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinnypops-popcorn References: [popsugar](https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/skinnypop-collagen-popcorn-46590036?stream_view=1#photo-46590038) & [skinnypop](https://www.skinnypop.com/our-popcorn/#popped) [SkinnyPop's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinnypop-popcorn-cheddar-jalapeo) popcorn is free from dairy, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, preservatives, artificial flavors and trans fats, and now those who are looking for a light snack can enjoy an option that's packed with functional benefits. The all-new SkinnyPop +Collagen popcorn is an exclusive flavor to [Whole Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruby-x-bjornqorn-popcorn) that shares the benefits of adding [collagen peptides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-collagen-advanced) to one's diet, which includes support for hair, nails, skin, bone and joints. The Sea Salt & Herb-flavored popcorn comes in at just 47 calories per cup and offers a different way for consumers to enjoy the benefits of collagen—especially as an alternative to taking powdered supplements or collagen-infused snack bars. Like +Collagen, +Protein was previously introduced by SkinnyPop as a popcorn snack with different nutritional and functional benefits.
