Healthy Boiled Popcorn

Here’s a great recipe along with a video for making healthy popcorn.

Popcorn by itself is a very healthy snack for several reasons:

• Provides a fulfilling ‘crunch’ to help pressures appetite.
• It contains very few calories.
• Contains fiber, which is good for digestion.
• It helps make tryptophan which helps with sleep better.

However, be aware that if you add processed butter and/or salt, it ruins the whole concept of a ‘healthy snack’.

For a healthy pop corn snack, make sure you purchase plain pop-corn kernels that are organic. The reason for this, is that most corn is now grown with a lot of pesticides.

Ingredients are:

• Plain popcorn
• Lime Juice
• Garlic Power
• Coconut Oil
• Microwave Popcorn Maker (made by Ecolution)

Step 1: Measure out a container of 2 tablespoons of popcorn and add one tablespoon of lime juice into the popcorn. Then stir it up.

Step 3:  Empty mixed contents into popcorn maker and add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil onto lid of the popcorn maker.

Step 4: Put popcorn maker into microwave, and microwave for 2 minutes.  Timing may be different for your microwave. Of course, timing may be different depending on the power of your microwave

A good rule for timing: After the kernels start popping in the microwave, If you don’t here any kernels pop within a 3 second time period, then the popcorn should be ready.

Step 5: Empty popcorn into bowl and shake in garlic powder.
