1. Popcorn with Nutritional Yeast, Lime Juice, & Paprika
When popcorn isn’t dripping with butter and salt, it’s a healthy alternative to higher-calorie snacks. There are several ways to prepare healthy popcorn, but this is one of my favorites. You’ll see more ideas below.
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup plain popcorn
• 4-5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1-2 dashes paprika
Instructions:
1. Follow instructions for popcorn. Pour into bowl.
2. Add remaining ingredients and toss to coat evenly.
Other Great Popcorn Topping Ideas:
2. Soy sauce and nutritional yeast
3. Agave syrup or honey
4. Dried Italian herbs (0regano, basil, rosemary, etc.) and olive oil

+ add your ownthanks for these receipes, a healthy alternative will certainly do me good.
the popcorn one sounds interesting, not a big fan of it myself though! carrot sticks and home-made dips; and cutting up root veg thinly, like sweet potato etc; and making your own crisps thanks!
these all sound great! I think I'm gonna try the popcorn and the banana choc ice cream
have to try out the ice cream, sounds interesting, along with the kale and corn chips...
liked the ice cream and kale
I test drove the ice cream, one with peanut butter, and one without, I love them both. I will try the corn chips, this would certainly be less fat!
Na pewno wypróbuję lody z banana.
At six dollars a bag it is certainly economical to make one's own kale chips. Great snacks here.
Thanks
i like to add chilly powder
