I have been looking for a low calorie snack to eat at work, I wanted something savory as I eat too many sweet foods. I decided to make popcorn, it was actually my friend Saba’s idea when I was shopping at Trader Jo in Scarsdale. I decided to jazz up my popcorn.
Popcorn can be a perfect snack for dieters. Even if you’re not trying to lose weight popcorn provides nutritional benefits. It provides you with a bit of healthy fiber and can provide far fewer calories than many other comparable snacks. A single three-cup serving of popcorn provides less than 100 calories, only one gram of fat, just over 18 grams of carbohydrate and 3.5 grams of dietary fiber. That means that each serving only provides 14.5 grams of net carbs.
I used 1 cup of popcorn and added it to a large pan with 3 Tablespoon heated coconut oil. Once the popcorn was all popped, I added 3 teaspoons of Trader Jo lime chili seasoning. The result was delicious, it was spicy, salty and tangy. I packed it in a Ziploc bags and took it to work. It was satisfying.filling and delicious.
