How do you jazz up your popcorn?

I bought an air popper because I thought it would be healthier than microwave popcorn but it's really, really, blah. A little butter doesn't go very far so I either have to use butter spray which I don't really care for or I was thinking maybe an olive oil mister and some popcorn seasoning. Any ideas?

My solution to everything: hot sauce. It's practically calorie free and I love it.
Sometimes I go the other direction and add a little butter and cinnamon sugar.

Nutritional yeast. Tastes just like cheese its basically and it's mainly fiber and protein!!!
Also stevia and cinnamon is good!0 -
i dont eat popcorn. LOL
and on the rare times i do (like twice a year) its at the movies and loaded with butter and salt :P
when i was a kid (maybe 7 or 8) i overdosed on popcorn and chocolate yoohoo. never fully recovered LOL0 -
Lawry's seasoned salt or Tony chachere's seasoning.0

garlic salt.0

I second nutritional yeast! Confession: I rarely go to the movies but when I'm there I love a bag of that ungodly movie popcorn with fake butter and I even smuggle in a bag of nutritional yeast for THAT! Ya, I'm a complicated person. But try it. It's delicious. You'll need something like a spritz of spray oil at least to make it stick to air pop. And it has a lot of protein. Winning!0

No salt herba from the health food store may work.0

Splenda and cinnamon, chili powder, garlic powder, italian seasoning0

Nutritional yeast with taco seasoning. It's like doritos. I throw a little chipotle sauce on there too so the nutritional yeast sticks to it...nom0

Do you have a Kernel Seasons shaker that states only 5 calories per 1/4 tsp? The only reason I ask is because my local stores don't carry it, but I was getting ready to order online. I visited the Kernel Seasons website and they list nothing less than 80 cals per 1/4 tsp for any of their products.
I am really interested if your shaker has a different value ... I so hope it is 5 calories

Hot Sauce is my main one, then parmesan cheese, although it doesn't stick well with air popped so well.0
-
Butter and more butter...and then salt...and lots of it. If I am going to have popcorn, I am going to indulge.0

I just add Hot Sauce and Black pepper 0

I second Kernel Season's....except the Kettle Corn one. Very bland, I mixed in some cinnamon. Now it's tasty.
My favorite Kernel's is Ranch flavor.

^^ These are actually my 2 faves. And I highly recommend getting a Misto (or using any store bought spray oil)! It helps any seasonings stick and the uses so little oil it's less than 5 calories0 -

I just bought an oil mister so I am going to try that and maybe some salt or seasoning. I don't know if I can eat anything called nutritional yeast. 0

I just looked at my container and actually I was wrong. It's only 2 calories per 1/4 tsp! Whatever you are looking at must be some kind of error! Look it up on the MFP database, all the flavors say 2 calories. It's basically nothing calorie-wise, get some! Also try it on scrambeled eggs
the site shows that its 2 calories as well.. just was looking at it since i think i need to invest!0
