đżHealthy Snack Alert! Popcorn at the LEVELđż
Just Try it Once! You Wonât Stop Eating It!
How many times have you âtriedâ to eat healthy snacks and always go back to eating chips or other snack foods that really arenât in line with eating healthier? We all know how it goes, you eat âhealthyâ snacks for a few days, only to finally cave in and eat the chips or whatever is your favorite. I confessâŠI am guilty of this myself. So no judgement here! After allâŠweâre all humanâŠwant to have fun and eat the foods we want to eat. Right?
Now I know for most people, itâs not realistic to eat âhealthyâ 100% of the time. Nor is it really sustainable for most people. The solution is taking snack foods and âmakingâ them a little more nutritious. But still having the âfunâ snacks that we all like to eat when we are hungry, tired, stressed or just need to decompress.
In our family, this is our go to recipe, and when the pan comes out and family hears the popcorn poppingâŠthey come running. There have literally been âfightsâ about who got the most popcorn and how it needed to be divvied up equally. ( I am not kidding about this!)
With this super simple recipe popcorn recipe you can feel like you are âcheatingâ, when you are not in any way. And the taste is *chefs kiss* addicting.
So let's create healthy popcorn using organic ingredients and a secret ingredient that Iâll bet you never thought about using in your popcorn.
Do You Buy Ready Made Popcorn at the Store?
When I go into the chip & snack aisle at the grocery store I see so many popcorn snacky-snacks available, sure theyâre super convenientâŠand some seem a little better than others. But they are expensive when you think about it and they donât really have any ingredients that contribute to âfeeding your bodyâ. You are literally putting in zero nutrition into your body.
There is a way to take your snacking to another level, and this simple recipe is truly addicting - in a good way!
So this versionâŠyou wonât find it on any store shelf.
