Allmax Hexapro Protein Popcorn Review

Reviewing Allmax's Hexapro Protein Popcorn | Functional Food Protein Snack

So today we're going to be doing a rundown of Allmax Hexapro Protein Popcorn. This isn't a new snack by any means, it's been around for at least a couple months, but I've noticed a lot of people haven't tried this one, and it's one of our favorite snacks here at The Supp Plug, so wanted to take a few minutes to give a rundown on this product and give you our review.

Hexapro Protein Popcorn is a functional food snack containing 40 grams of protein in the entirety of the bag, and 10 grams of protein per serving, as there's 4 servings per bag. This is a snack put out by Canadian Company Allmax, and it uses their Hexapro Protein which is available in the form of tubs of protein powder as well. Hexapro, as you might guess from the name, gets it's name from the blend of 6 types of protein contained within it.

This snack comes in two flavors including Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. While both are delicious, if I was pressed to choose between the two, I think I'd pick the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, and oddly enough, I'm a huge fan of Peanut Butter and not a huge fan of Dark Chocolate, but the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt is quite tasty and isn't overly bitter as dark chocolate can sometimes be. 

Allmax Hexapro Protein Popcorn Macros

Okay, so looking at the macros, a serving is one cup. This may not be as filling as a protein bar as popcorn obviously is somewhat airy, however the popcorn is definitely coated in chocolaty protein which adds some density to it, so its more filling than your average popcorn. A one serving cup also contains only 250 calories which is fairly lean when it comes to some functional foods, a lot of the popular protein bars and protein cookies on the market are pushing 300-500 calories per cookie or bar, so 250 really isn't too bad.

It also contains 12 grams of fat, 25mg cholesterol, 3 grams of fiber, a fairly high 15 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of protein per serving. This isn't a daily snack that I have, but when my sweet tooth is nagging me and I'm craving something sweet this is a good alternative to a chocolate bar or other junk food. 

The Taste & Texture

So upon opening this snack for the first time it struck me as though this was popcorn which had been rolled around in Hexapro Protein Powder, and I suppose that's what it is, but it's actually quite tasty. The taste is great, the dark chocolate is a dark chocolate taste with a hint of sea salt and the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor the peanut butter flavor overpowers the chocolate flavor, but it's still great. I also love how there's no "protein aftertaste" as is the case with many protein filled functional foods.

Again, both of these taste awesome, but if pressed to pick I'd probably opt for the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt despite generally not being a huge fan of dark chocolate.

As far as the texture goes, this is going to fill you up more than a cup of the jiffy pop you have at home or movie theatre popcorn. While I wouldn't compare the texture to caramel corn, in the sense of being denser than regular popcorn its about the density of caramel corn without the crunch. 

The inside of the popcorn is airy and crispy like you'd expect from popcorn with the shell being a bit thicker, and almost creamy and chocolaty, or in the case of Chocolate Peanut Butter, peanut buttery. 

Overall Opinion

Overall I'm a big fan of Allmax's Hexapro Protein Popcorn. If you're a fan of the brands Hexapro Protein Powder you're sure to love this one. So far there's two flavors, I'd love to see Allmax expand with a Cookies and Cream option, for some reason that strikes me as a flavor profile which would be tasty in this snack.

Now again, this isn't something I eat everyday or that I'd recommend eating on the daily, but it's something nice to keep around the house when you're sweet tooth is nagging you and you wanna "cheat a little".
