Healthier Popcorn Toppings

Posted on 09:23 by Unknown
Popcorn really can be healthy if it's not drenched in fat and sodium! Here's some more healthier topping ideas that I found for your DIY Healthier Microwave Popcorn or air popped popcorn:

  1. Garlic Popcorn - Garlic Powder & a little salt
  2. Ranch Popcorn - Spray with a healthy type oil and sprinkle dry ranch dressing mix 
  3. Parmesan Popcorn - Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and salt
  4. Fiber Nut Popcorn - Add slivered Almonds, sunflower seeds and raisins to plain popcorn
  5. Mexican Popcorn - Chili powder, hot sauce and a little salt
  6. Taco Popcorn - Add taco seasoning
  7. Fake Cheese Popcorn - Spray with olive oil, sprinkle on nutritional yeast, and a little salt
  8. Cinnamon Popcorn - Sprinkle with cinnamon and a little sugar
  9. Curry Popcorn - Spice things up with a little curry powder
  10. Seasoned Popcorn - Add seasoning salt
  11. Sweet Popcorn - drizzle with honey or xagave
  12. Mix and Match #1 through #11! Be Creative and have fun!
I can't wait to try some of these. Hopefully they got your brain thinking of even more! I even found someone who suggested spraying a little water from a spray bottle to help the toppings stick instead of butter...I don't know? It's worth a try! 

One that I didn't include to the list is pepper - my brother always loved to sprinkle pepper on his popcorn! It was pretty good! Have you tried any of these or others? What toppings work for you and your family?
