Healthy Popcorn Options?

Question

Instead of Butter and Salt, does anyone have healthier topping ideas for popcorn? I heard someone liked tabasco on their popcorn. I am looking for Healthier popcorn topping ideas. BTW I read people who eat popcorn as a snack reach their whole grain allowance for the day. :)

Answer 1

I mix plain popcorn with other snacks, like cheetos (regular or hot), and pretzels.  This adds some salt and flavor, but not too much since its mixed with plain popcorn

Answer 2

thats true.  popcorn is a very, very healthy snack as long as you dont have a lot of butter and salt.  the best way is plain because its still good.  brown sugar would be nice too and brown sugar is healthy.  lots of people put it on their oatmeal

Answer 3

I slather on regular olive oil  (not virgin- the flavor is too strong) and it is so buttery tasting. Yum. Melted Smartbalance is good too. My husband adds chili and garlic powder. My kids add parmesan cheese. Be creative. It is definitely low calorie and full of fiber! Have fun!

Answer 4

I eat the 100 calorie bags of popcorn and I like the flavor without any butter and salt. No need for toppings on my popcorn

Answer 6

kettle corn is deeeelish...you can always use molly mcbutter while it's still hot ;)

Answer 7

I switched to kettle corn, it doesn't need anything added to it.  However, if you insist, powdered cheese is good tossed with the popcorn.

Answer 8

Try using other spices like red pepper, garlic, oregano, or almost anything else you like.  I like mixing garlic, onion powder, oregano, basil, and Parmesan cheese for an italian seasoning.  If you have your own popcorn maker, try getting some flavored oil to cook it in.  You can usually find it a gourmet food stores.  I personally like orange olive oil or garlic olive oil, but most stores offer a wide selection.  Cinnamon and sugar are good too if you want a sweet seasoning.

Answer 9

garlic and chili powder is pretty good
