Making Our Own Popcorn - Quick, Healthy Snack - Wellness Wednesday by A Panama Mama

in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

In the past, I have shared some great snack ideas on my blog. You can see the chick peas that we have toasted and the dehydrated bananas. These are two of our favorite snacks, but this is another one that we really enjoy.

The kids really love it and think it’s a great treat when I take out the popcorn maker. It is so easy to use and makes a pretty healthy snack too! I don’t add a ton of gunk to our popcorn and the kids still gobble it up! It's fast too - totally ready in about 5 minutes!

Here is what I do:

  • ¼ cup of popcorn (that’s plenty for one bowl for my 5 kids)
  • A little olive oil (coconut oil works great too) – I don’t measure, I just pour in about a tablespoon or so
  • Some salt – I just pour in about a half a tablespoon to start and add some after it has popped
  • I put all this in the popper, cook it for a few minutes, and it comes out tasting great.

    If I need to make more popcorn, I just add a little more popcorn and salt. I usually just use the same amount of oil no matter how much I’m making and it turns out great.

Happy kids with a healthy snack!

Waw amazing brooo!

Oh, our family really enjoys popcorn. One of our favorites! There's those colorful bowls again! @ironshield

:) Popcorn is pretty tasty. My daughter's birthday is on Monday and popcorn is one of her requests. ;) I love colorful stuff, so the bowls were a must when I saw them. :)

My family always put nutritional yeast on our popcorn- it's pretty delicious!

Oh nice. Good idea!

I must go and make too :))

You should! You need a Whirley Pop

Ok :))
