Popcorn!

When I was little I loved eating salty, buttery popcorn. I think my favorite part was running my finders across the bottom of the bag to get all the butter flavor. It was so good! But then as I got older I realized how bad it is for you, so I decided to stop eating it for a few years. Luckily, I recently found a new, healthy way to make it.




Homemade Popcorn:
  • 1/3 C organic popping corn kernels
  • 1/2 T organic extra virgin coconut oil
  • a few pinches of sea salt
Heat pot (see note*) over low-medium heat. Add coconut oil and kernels. Hold lid to pan and shake often to prevent burning. After about 5-10 minutes you'll have healthy popcorn! Add salt and enjoy!

* I used a pot with a fitted lid. If you use an air popper, pour melted coconut oil on top of popped popcorn and add a little extra.
