Ok so before I talk about the snack itself, let me just start off by saying raw broccoli is not my jam. Steamed broccoli = yum, but raw broccoli is no bueno in my book. That being said, this snack was quite a pleasant surprise! I love the cheesy flavor and the bite-size pieces. Felt like I was eating popcorn (but not really, ya know?) Whether you like cheese, ranch, or garlic, this snack definitely satisfies my savory tooth.

Caveat:
Price – These broccoli poppers run at about $3.95/bag and there isn’t that much in there.
Sodium – If you’re watching your sodium, this might not be the snack for you. It’s quite salty. Make sure to drink plenty of water!
Texture – It’s kind of a love/hate relationship here. I’m kinda digging the chewy/crunchy texture, at the same time there is an inconsistency to it that makes me afraid I might bite into something hard and crack my tooth.
