Healthy Popcorn? Can anyone really enjoy a movie without that buttery mouthful of crunch? YES! Personally I don’t know anyone who doesn’t indulge during a movie. I laugh at my kids, even now when they are adults. The movie gets to a particularly intense part, and the popcorn just seems to be shoveled in while they are concentrating on what’s going on on the screen! I remember many a movie where I did the same thing. But, is popcorn really all that healthy?
Yes it is! Of course you need to air pop it and use no butter to obtain all the healthy goodness in each kernel. Kind of sad when you think about it right? Can you imagine watching a movie with bland popcorn? I know I can’t. So, we went on an expedition to find a tasty, healthy popcorn. There were many varieties tested and tasted and tossed. YUCK!! It seemed that while each variety had its health benefits, we had to give up taste. We were depressed until…a popcorn was brought to our intentions.
Our Healthy Popcorn Test Taste:
First, we did a group taste test. We provided samples of this new treat to about 50 people. The popcorn had 3 different flavors. That helped. Each person chose two bags of their choice. Afterwards, we retreated to our rooms to begin a munchfest. The results were in and they were glowingly positive. The taste was true to the flavor names. What was supposed to be sweet was sweet. Cheesy? It was cheesy! I know I fell in love with the Sweet and Salty Kettle Korn flavor. I know I’m hooked.
This taste bud tantalizer produced by a company located in the U.S.! Even better. However, the best part about the popcorn is that is HEALTHY! Each bag contains 2 servings. Each serving contains 10 g of PROTEIN! You read that correctly. Great tasting popcorn with protein! That makes it Keto friendly. 10% less carbs than regular popcorn (that’s the Sweet and Salty flavor). Causing this delicious to be snack diabetic-friendly! (Make sure you bring your dietician a bag for testing!) Non-GMO, Clean Ingredients, and free of preservatives!
Next Step:
I’d say that the next step is to do a taste test of your own. First, invite 3-5 friends and family for a movie night. Provide healthy flavored drinks, and perhaps some pretzels or some cookies. Whatever you would normally have available for a get-together. Then, place each flavor into a big bowl with a little sign identifying the flavor. Settle down on the floor or couch and enjoy the movie and munchies. After the movie, ask everyone how they liked the popcorn. Telling them it was protein popcorn will surprise them but not you! Falling in love with the popcorn yourself shouldn’t be a surprise! I ordered 3 bags of the Sweet and Salty just for myself! So now you can enjoy great tasting and HEALTHY snack while watching your favorite movies. Guilt-free munching at it’s best!
Possible additions for the Movie Party:
There are a number of food items you can serve along with the Healthiest Popcorn! Why not make some churros to go along with the other items on the snack table? Churros are everyone’s favorite and depending on the filling, they can be sweet or savory!. Fill them with taco meat mixed with cheese for mini-churros that you made yourself. Take a look here for one of the easiest to use churro maker. You love how easy it is to use and you’ll get kudos for your cooking abilities!
For the grownups in the group, pair the popcorn with a deliciously delightful glass of fine wine! It’s easy to have wine since this is delivered directly to your door each month. Our discovery wine of the month club has the best wines from Napa and Sonoma Counties. Get more information here.
