LOVE CORN Snacks Review: A Healthy Toddler Snack Alternative?

ADPR. Finding snacks that toddlers actually enjoy can feel like an impossible task. One week they're obsessed with something, the next week they're refusing to even look at it. As a parent, I'm always on the lookout for healthier snack options that don't contain lots of unnecessary ingredients but still pass the all-important toddler taste test. That's why I was excited to discover Love Corn snacks.

Marketed as a crunchy corn snack made with simple ingredients, LOVE CORN has become increasingly popular with families looking for a healthier alternative to traditional crisps. When we were given the opportunity to try a selection of flavours, I was keen to find out whether they would be a hit with my little one.

Here's my honest Love Corn snacks review and whether I think they're worth adding to your toddler snack cupboard.

Who Are Love Corn?

Love Corn snacks are crunchy roasted corn kernels available in a range of different flavours. Unlike many traditional crisps and processed snacks, they're made using simple ingredients and are designed to be a more wholesome snack option. Which is great for little tummies!

The brand focuses on creating snacks that are crunchy, satisfying and suitable for a wide range of dietary requirements. They're gluten free and made with ingredients that you can actually recognise, which is something I always appreciate when shopping for snacks for my family. The rise in ultra processed foods is actually pretty scary. So the ingredients like on Love Corn snacks is a pleasant sight to see.

The individual packs are also a convenient size, making them ideal for lunchboxes, days out and keeping in your changing bag for those inevitable snack emergencies.

Why We Wanted To Try Love Corn Snacks

If you've followed my blog for a while, you'll know that feeding my toddler isn't always straightforward.

Like many children, my little one can be quite selective when it comes to food textures. Finding snacks that are both nutritious and appealing can sometimes be challenging, especially when there are so many heavily processed options available on supermarket shelves.

What attracted me to Love Corn snacks was the fact that they offered something a little different. They're crunchy, simple and felt like a more balanced alternative to some of the snacks aimed at children.

I was intrigued to see whether the crunchiness would appeal to my toddler!

Flavours Currently Available From Love Corn

Over the years Love Corn have expanded their flavours, from four, up to the now eight which are available. Love Corn snacks come in the following flavours:

• Sour cream and chive
• Sea salt
• Sweet and salty
• Hot and spicy
• Cheddar
• BBQ
• Salt and vinegar
• Milk chocolate and sea salt

When we initially tried Love Corn there we're only four flavours available. Now there's double! I need to try the milk chocolate and sea salt (for myself) because it sounds so delicious.

Are Love Corn Snacks Healthy?

One of the most common questions parents ask is whether Love Corn snacks are actually healthy? While no snack is perfect, I do think they compare favourably to many traditional crisps and heavily processed snack foods.

Some of the things I like about Love Corn snacks include:

• Simple ingredients
• Gluten-free recipe
• Plant-based ingredients
• Portion-controlled packs
• Satisfying crunch that encourages slower eating

For me, it's less about labelling foods as "good" or "bad" and more about finding realistic options that fit into a balanced diet. Love Corn snacks feel like a sensible choice when you want something convenient without reaching for something ultra processed every time.

What My Toddler Thinks Of Love Corn.

We've been through quite the journey when it comes to my toddlers fussy eating.

I recently had Doctor Elizabeth Roberts guest post for me where she discussed what causes fussy eating in toddlers. She later gave me 6 ways to reduce fussy eating in toddlers which was super knowledgeable and insightful. One of the tips was to repeatedly expose her to new foods.

I was super excited to introduce my daughter to Love Corn. She's such a snacker & it feels like I'm constantly being dragged over to the fridge. She's a crisp lover, a cheese enthusiast and a biscuit addict. I was excited to give her an alternative toddler snack.

She was of course taken in by Love Corn's packaging. Their punchy colourful bags of corn snacks are basically a toddlers dream. She also loved playing with them from a sensory point of view too by shaking and rustling the pakcets.

My daughter has certainly enjoyed adding a new alternative toddler snack to her diet. She's relatively good when it comes to trying new flavours although I must admit I was a little nervous with Love Corn's offerings. I knew my Husband would be all over the habanero chilli flavour but was unsure how my daughter would react. Turns out she loves them!

Although branded as 'crunchy and delicious' we were both a little surprised at exactly how crunchy the Love Corn kernels are. They don't quite have the same crunch as a peanut, although they're very close. Because of this I would advise that these are the type of snacks that need adult supervision.

Why Love Corn Make The Perfect Alternative Toddler Snack

What I love so much about Love Corn as a parent is that they're great for on the go. I've kept an 'emergency pack' under the pram, because we all know how temperamental toddlers can be. I'll no doubt be using that emergency pack sooner rather than later.

I also love that Love Corn are a healthier alternative. It makes me feel a little less guilty when it comes to topping my toddler up with snacks. I's much rather give her a portion of Love Corn than I would a chocolate bar.

Love Corn As A Lunchbox Snack

One area where I think LOVE CORN snacks really shine is in lunchboxes.

Because they're individually portioned, they're incredibly easy to throw into a lunchbox, backpack or changing bag.

They're also less messy than some snacks and don't crumble into tiny pieces quite as dramatically as crisps can.

If you're looking for lunchbox snacks for toddlers or preschool children, they're certainly worth considering alongside fruit, vegetables and other snack options.

Would I Buy Love Corn Snacks Again?

Yes, I would!

What I liked most was that they offered something different from the usual toddler snack options while still being convenient and enjoyable.

They won't replace every snack in our house, but they've definitely earned a place in our snack cupboard for sure!

For parents looking for a healthy crisp alternative, or simply wanting to introduce more variety into their child's snacks, Love Corn is well worth trying.
