How many times have you ‘tried’ to eat healthy snacks and always go back to eating chips or other snack foods that really aren’t in line with eating healthier? We all know how it goes, you eat ‘healthy’ snacks for a few days, only to finally cave in and eat the chips or whatever is your favorite. I confess…I am guilty of this myself. So no judgement here! After all…we’re all human…want to have fun and eat the foods we want to eat. Right?

Now I know for most people, it’s not realistic to eat ‘healthy’ 100% of the time. Nor is it really sustainable for most people. The solution is taking snack foods and ‘making’ them a little more nutritious. But still having the ‘fun’ snacks that we all like to eat when we are hungry, tired, stressed or just need to decompress.

In our family, this is our go to recipe, and when the pan comes out and family hears the popcorn popping…they come running. There have literally been ‘fights’ about who got the most popcorn and how it needed to be divvied up equally. ( I am not kidding about this!)

With this super simple recipe popcorn recipe you can feel like you are ‘cheating’, when you are not in any way. And the taste is *chefs kiss* addicting.

So let's create healthy popcorn using organic ingredients and a secret ingredient that I’ll bet you never thought about using in your popcorn.

Do You Buy Ready Made Popcorn at the Store?

When I go into the chip & snack aisle at the grocery store I see so many popcorn snacky-snacks available, sure they’re super convenient…and some seem a little better than others. But they are expensive when you think about it and they don’t really have any ingredients that contribute to ‘feeding your body’. You are literally putting in zero nutrition into your body.

There is a way to take your snacking to another level, and this simple recipe is truly addicting - in a good way!

So this version…you won’t find it on any store shelf.

A Snack Full of Flavor…Plus an Energy Boost

It’s full of flavor and brimming with B vitamins so they actually give you an energy boost, unlike some of the other popcorn snacks out there. It’s really easy to make and if you are watching your budget it will definitely be more economical, then this is a recipe you really need to try. 

 🌽🍃 Here's how:

Ingredients:

- Organic popcorn kernels

- Organic coconut oil

- French sea salt

- Nutritional yeast

Instructions:

1. Heat a pan on the stove over medium heat.

2. Add a couple of kernels of popcorn. When they pop, you’ll know it’s time to add the rest of the popcorn.

3. Add a generous scoop of organic coconut oil to coat the pan.

4. Toss in a handful of organic popcorn kernels and cover with a lid.

5. Shake the pan gently until you hear the kernels start to pop.

6. Once the popping slows down, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a moment to catch any stragglers.

🤫Now for my secret ingredient: Nutritional Yeast! 🤫 

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons over the freshly popped popcorn and add French sea salt to taste. Stir well to coat all the popcorn with the Nutritional Yeast🧂

Why Nutritional Yeast?? 🤔 

Not only does it impart a cheesy and savory flavor, but it's also packed with essential nutrients, including B vitamins, protein, and fiber. Plus, it's a fantastic source of umami, taking your snack game to the next level! Once you try it…you won’t go back to the traditional popcorn recipe. 

Giving You an Energy Boost!

But that's not all—nutritional yeast can give you a nice energy boost while you're snacking! So no more guilt about snacking…and a big YES to a tasty treat that nourishes your body and satisfies your cravings. I promise everyone will absolutely LOVE your popcorn.

So, why settle for ordinary popcorn when you can indulge in a bowl of goodness that's as good for you as it is delicious? 

Try it out and enjoy the delicious taste and the energy boost that you’ll get from this recipe!
