King of Pop – Coconut Oil Popcorn
I can’t remember when I last snuggled up with my boys on the couch watching a movie and tucking into a bowl of popcorn! With a sudden change in weather an afternoon of movies & popcorn was in order.
Avoiding popcorn for so long after reading the horrific effects of genetically modified (GMO) corn and the health nightmare of microwave popcorn, I was delighted to come across GMO-free popcorn kernels and learn about healthier ways of making popcorn for the family!
My boys’ new favourite is adding “cheese sprinkles” to their popcorn. Nutritional yeast is an inactive yeast that not only has a nutty parmesan-cheese like taste, but is high in Vitamin B12, protein, fibre and a great source of folic acid. It’s fast becoming our topping for popcorn, pasta, rice and soup.
Ingredients
1/2 cup non-GMO popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon organic virgin coconut oil
Himalayan salt to taste
Nutritional yeast (optional)
Large pot with lid
Large popcorn bowl
and a great movie!
Method
Add the coconut oil to the pan and heat until oil has melted.
Place the popcorn kernels into the pan and cover with a lid.
Shake the pan every 10 seconds until the popping slows down.
When the popping slows down to a pop every 2-3 seconds remove pan from the heat. (Nothing worse than the smell of burnt popcorn!)
Pour into a bowl, add salt and nutritional yeast to taste and serve.
Snuggle up and enjoy!
Raw Apple, Ginger & Cinnamon Date Bites
I love that Woolworths stores have cleared out the tempting junk food from the checkout queues, and replaced the shelves with healthier options. Knowing the prices of good nutritious ingredients I can so relate to the high price tag that comes with the healthy snacks,...
Strawberry Ice Lollies
My boys have such different tastes. I really shouldn't ask questions like these, but when I ask the boys which flavour ice lolly they want me to make I get two very different answers. Judah, my youngest, yells 'MANGO please' and Oscar, my oldest, yells...
Mango Ice Lollies
Who says ice lollies are for kids? My husband has been begging me to make ice lollies for so long now, and although it is the start of winter (and with one of the biggest storms about to hit in centuries) I finally gave in. With frozen mango in the freezer, I...
