How Do You Make Tasty, Nutritious Popcorn?
Love popcorn but worried you’re not really getting a healthy snack? Here are some tips to make the most out of your favorite snack! If you must use bagged microwave popcorn, buy the small snack size bags but MAKE SURE you get the 94% fat free versions. The best option is to invest in a hot air popcorn popper. These are inexpensive, easy to use and result in popcorn cooked without oil or any other additives. You can find them at stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond and other department stores. Instead of melting butter or margarine over your popcorn, try using spray butter. You can get a burst of flavor on your popcorn without a ton of calories and fat. Use powdered popcorn flavoring. These come in flavors such as butter and cheddar cheese. Experiment and have fun! Try things like sprinkling dry ranch dressing mix on your popcorn, or garlic powder and a bit of parmesan cheese.
