    I tend to keep popcorn available as a snack all the time (work and home). I usually just add some garlic powder.

    I very lightly spray olive oil on it and then add this:

    Which is incredibly fantastic and makes me infinitely happy.

    I also air pop ... then spray lightly with cooking spray/PAM or water to make my seasonings stick.

    I use Cumin, or Chili Powder, or Garlic Powder, or Dill, or whatever savory flavors I feel like using..

    Oh, and I like a few shakes of hot cause on mine too!

    Best wishes on your health and wellness journey!

    Oh, not that kind of popcorn? Anything. When I have the calories I like to mix in milk duds while it's still hot. Otherwise, just some salt and maybe some pepper. You have seasonsing in your cabinet? Add a little taco seasoning or italian seasoning. Whatever you're in the mood for. popcorn doesn't taste like anything so it will taste like whatever you add to it.

    I use a cooking spray and chili powder with some salt and pepper sometimes. I've also used italian seasoning. Garlic powder works well too. Just experiment.

    Try adding some pepper, it provides extra taste without any extra calories.

    Just got a bag of my microwave popcorn to see what it contains. I always have salted flavour, and the ingredients are: popcorn, vegetable oil, and salt. The oil is already coating all the unpopped kernels so there are no big lumps of congealed fat like someone else mentioned theirs had ! (Gross!)
    There are 410 calories per bag and 20g of fat, so quite high. I might try having a go at making my own with plain popcorn, spray oil and salt. That would have to cut the fat content down?

    in the popcorn section they have seasoning that is 0 cals. I love the white chedder one. It doesn't stick too well, but it is still good. You can try to add a teaspoon on grapeseed oil and mix it with the popcorn and add the white chedder seasoning to see if it sticks.

    I sprinkle a little grated cheese- Parmesan or cheddar on my pop corn. Really love it that way. I also pop my corn the old fashioned way on stove top using olive oil. Gives really nice flavor.

    I top mine with a spritz of extra virgin olive oil, and a few spoonfuls of nutritional yeast.


    Nutritional yeast has a nutty flavor similar to parmesan, and lots of protein + fiber. It's a great vegan sub for cheese.

    OHHHHH I LOVE popcorn too! And I have an air popper. I have tried the spray version of "I can't believe it's not butter" and I have tried the pump spray version of olive oil. Both work well.. I prefer the olive oil myself... I either sprinkle "Spike" seasoning (found in health food stores) or garlic salt.

    IF I pan pop with oil... I add the garlic salt to the oil when it heats up... it's sooooooo tasty.

    I've never tried this, but I've heard it's good. Sprinkle nutritional yeast over your popcorn. If you don't know about nutritional yeast, google it, you can use it in some interesting ways!

    You could cut down on the fat, & use real butter (vegetable oil isn't healthy at all). I love air-popped popcorn, it tastes so much better than microwave :)

    I just tried sprinkling lime and chili powder and salt last night. It was yummy and the seasonings actually stuck to the popcorn, which is a huge plus!
