Hi Friends!
I wanted to share this healthy microwave popcorn with you guys because it’s such a great snack option for older kids and adults. It’s important to note that popcorn is a choking hazard for younger kids, but my five-year-old and I have been enjoying it together lately. Since it’s been over 7 years since I first shared my favorite way to make it, I figured this little tutorial was due for an update.
Did you know popcorn is a whole grain? It’s one of my favorite after-dinner snacks. I just eat it plain, but you can easily add whatever flavors you want after it’s popped. All you need in order to skip the pre-packaged microwave bags is a jar of popcorn kernels and a brown paper lunch sack.
