What to put on popcorn

This might sound weird, and I'm not sure how "healthy" it would be, but it is amazingly delicious:

Salt and icing sugar. Pure sweet and salty loveliness

Cinnamon or Coconut sugar

My husband is the nuttered popcorn addict at my house. We pop it in an oil popper, usually in olive oil.

I sprinkle mine with garlic powder or whatever spice jumps out at me.

I figure butter or olive oil are still better than the chemical medley of microwave shelf stable pop corn. It's all about portion control!

A friend of mine gave me a cool popcorn device many years ago, the one with the crank on the top.
It is used on the stove top. one day after corn started popping I grabbed a hershey
miniature....just plain.....and opened the little flapper lid on the popcorn device and heaved it in there real quick.
The result was the chocolate got popped into all of the kernels ......it is my fave of all faves!
Unfortunately, we no longer have that little device any more.....though they still sell them.

Just kick back and enjoy chocolate popcorn....works with kisses and stuff.....and remember a little is a lot
when it coats the exploding kernel!

Coconut oil alone or with a touch of butter/oliveoil is predominantly what we now use with a Cuisinart electric popper with the stirrer......but only adding to the finished product.

I found this site today, because I googled healthy stuff to put on popcorn!

Thanks for so many ideas.

This is not low calorie, but it beats store-bought caramel corn. While the air popper's working, I nuke about 2 T butter (for a huge bowl of popped corn), about 2 or 3 T Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, and a t. or so of sugar-free syrup. Torani Brown Sugar and Cinnamon is best, but English Toffee, Almond Roca, and others are great also. Sometimes I add the salt into this mixture. I let it bubble for at least ten seconds, then stir well into the popcorn. OMG. Good.

The syrup does wet the popcorn, but I don't care.
I always think about tossing in some nuts, but by the time I've loaded in the butter and Splenda Blend, I feel nuts would be superfluous.

Nutritional yeast ~ buttery, cheesy and salty ~ with 8g of protein per serving

Sprinkle with Cinnamon, all spice

I havent gone real sweet with it yet. but I will give it a shot next time I want sweet!!

Oh! great ideas

truffle oil! I use a tsp on a big amount of popcorn - truffle oil is so flavorful that you don't need much at all. I also like olive oil - I use my misto to spray it on. Also add sea salt for both of these.


Or I get the land O' lakes whipped butter that comes in a round tub - its delicious and only 50 cals/tbsp., 1 tbsp. is more than enough!

I'm probably not the greatest on advice for losing weight, because I mostly here to keep a track of what I'm eating to see what's going on with my chronic pain, but for our popcorn we use a ton of different spices to appease our cravings at different times. The healthiest and most delicious things we've found you can put on your popcorn are Turmeric, Cumin, curry powder, and yeast flakes. Yeast flakes are very high in a ton of different vitamins and completely guilt free. It's kind of like a replacement for powdered parmesan cheese. I'm a sucker for parmesan cheese, but can't have the sodium. This is very very low in sodium. If you would like to add salt, I suggest himalayan pink salt as it's one of the highest in nutritional value. That's basically what we do when we're craving something flavorful, but not sweet.

Bump. To save all the delicious ideas!

Sriracha!

Just a little olive oil with pink Himalayan salt. My daughter thought I was crazy. But now whenever she comes to visit that is the requested snack .
