One of my favorite snacks ever is POPCORN ? there was a time when I thought that popcorn wasn’t healthy, and that I could never incorporate it into a healthy lifestyle! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Little did I know, that air popped popcorn is high in fiber and a great low calorie snack! I like to make mine on the stovetop, with a little avocado oil. But if you prefer yours air-popped, I suggest giving it a quick spray using oil spray to ensure that the salt and flavors stick to it! ?

Here are some of my favorite combos
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
? ‘Buttery salt’: I pop popcorn kernels on the stovetop in a small amount of butter flavored avocado oil. I then top it off with some sea salt ⠀

? Hot ‘n spicy: one of my favorite combos! I top my popcorn off with some smoked paprika, sea salt, garlic salt and cayenne pepper! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?Caramel: I only have this on special occasions just because it takes a bit more time than the others! I top my popcorn with my ‘healthier salted caramel sauce’ recipe can be found on my website under ‘healthy millionaire shortbread’

? Salted chocolate: This combination is a classic, and healthier version to the Astro’s and popcorn combination! I melt some dark chocolate and pour it over the popcorn. I top it off with a little sea salt- delicious! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
? Rosemary & Parmesan: Great if I’m feeling like a cheesy flavor! I top mine off with some onion powder, rosemary and some Parmesan cheese ( you can subs the Parmesan for nutritional yeast for a vegan option) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?♂️Churro popcorn: one of my favorites!! Top your popcorn off with some delicious cinnamon, vanilla and powdered coconut sugar(I blend my coconut sugar in a high speed blender until the sugar becomes a powdered consistency). Place over popcorn while freshly popped to ensure that it sticks to it well!
