    I love taco seasoning or cajun seasoning flavored popcorn. Spice up your popcorn!

    Right after I remove my smart pop single serve bag from the microwave, I toss in some dark chocolate chips... maybe two tablespoons and shake it real good. It's messy, but delicious!

    OH, EM, GEE! That is going to be on my "must try" list. :flowerforyou: Thank you!

    most popcorn seasonings do not have many calories in it at all, I get mine at the bulk barn, so its really cheap too

    I like it with parmesan cheese. I use a micro planer, it makes it pretty fine, so you do not need much.

    My newest thing I like is buffalo wing sauce spritzed on with a mister.

    I use EVOO ( no more than 1 TBS)... sprinkle either cayenne(chili powder) or garlic powder and small amount of salt. Yummy

    I use an air popper as well, and I use spray butter "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" because it adds 0 zero calories and 0 fat grams and I spray it on as it's coming out of the popper, then I sprinkle a little sea salt on it! It's really good...it's hard to get over wanting to taste more butter and more salt but actually once you settle in and realize you are making it healthy for a reason, then you actually start to like it :) Cinnamon wasn't as good to me...and I LOVE cinnamon. I've heard great things about parmesan cheese but I don't care for it. Garlic powder could also be interesting if you like that as well :)

    garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder! no need to use oil to stick it, it will stick to the popcorn enough for flavor. I do this all the time! :)

    Butter flavored cooking spray and a little salt. AND if you want amazing add a teaspoon of coconut oil (60 cal) melted in the microwave for 20 sec. Taste just like movie theater popcorn!

    Coconut oil? That sounds amazing! And I just bought some!!!! SWEET!

    spray tamari or braggs aminos on pop corn. I top with a sprinkle of nutritional (brewers) yeast for the buttery-ness flavor. MMMMMM yummy. Also my toddler would eat this all day every day.

    I like Tastefully Simple Fiesta Dip Mix. It's in a shaker - just a blend of spicy spices....makes for a delicious spicy popcorn. (I wonder what a little Lime Pepper and Cayenne would be like.....)

    Nutritional yeast has an interesting cheesy taste and makes it super nutritious without adding anything bad. I can sometimes get my kids to eat it that way. Yeast is super high in B vitamins.

    nori/seaweed flakes. You can get them in Asian markets or sometimes Whole Foods.

    Adds nutrition, almost no calories, and it's delicious. Nori is the sheet of seaweed that goes on sushi rolls.

    I tried one that was chili powder, cumin, and nutritional yeast, it wasn't bad. It included butter, but a spray work just to get the spices to stick.

    I know you said savory preferred, but my new favorite is to pop 37 grams of kernels and add 1 tsp of honey + 1/2 tsp cinnamon. SO good.

    They sell flavor shakers in the popcorn section . I believe they are 0 calories. like cheddar cheese, nacho cheese.


    Actually I think they are like 5 or 10 calories. Regardless, very few none the less. I use these with a little non-stick spray to make the seasoning stick. I like the ranch, nacho cheese and the white cheddar...yum.
