High-Protein Popcorn
Hey everyone! Today I want to share a delicious high-protein popcorn recipe with you that’s
perfect for fat loss and it tastes awesome – you will love it.
In fact, one of
our success stories just recently switched from his “healthy” popcorn that he used
to eat, among other simple tricks that we taught him, and he lost more than 40 lbs in
just 12 weeks – without sacrificing any of the foods he loves.
Now, popcorn itself is a pretty healthy snack… • It is a whole, unprocessed grain that’s
full of fiber. • It is packed with polyphenols -- same
ones found in red wine and many fruits and vegetables, which help fight cancer, diabetes,
cardiovascular and other diseases.
But there are 3 problems with most popcorns:
1. First, most store-bought kinds are loaded with saturated fat and calories. A medium-sized
popcorn at the movies typically has nearly 1,000 calories. And although you can find
low-calorie microwave popcorn packets in the store, they are normally loaded with salt,
sugar, and a variety mystery ingredients that aren't so good for you, such as… (I can’t
even pronounce this)
2. Second, although popcorn is a whole unprocessed grain that's high in fiber, which is great,
it doesn't offer much protein – and definitely not the high quality type... and as you hopefully
know, it's very important that you balance a protein source with your carbs at each and
every snack and meal, as this will help you stay full longer, stabilizes your blood sugar,
and improves your metabolism.
3. And the 3rd problem -- without anything
added to your popcorn, it pretty much tastes like cardboard - and that's no way to live.
You absolutely have to balance healthy with delicious or it's just not at all realistic
that you'll stick with it.
The good news is I have a high protein popcorn recipe that
solves all three of these problems and is FITera approved:
- healthy and effective
for fat loss - quick and easy to make
- no expensive or hard to find ingredients - and absolutely delicious
So let’s get to it – you’ll need:
• 1 tablespoon coconut
oil, which has all kinds of health benefits, including lowering cholesterol
• 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or you can use almond extract or
even almond or coconut milk) • 3 tablespoon protein
powder, which is about 1 scoop (I’m using vanilla, but any flavor work well)
Directions: Put coconut oil in bowl. Microwave just until
oil is melted, about 20-30 seconds. Pour popcorn kernels into bowl; stir to coat each kernel
with oil mixture. Even out kernels in bottom of bowl. Put vented microwave cover on top
(you can get these at Target) and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, whenever there are
about 2 seconds between pops. While still hot, mist popcorn lightly with vanilla extract
and sprinkle with protein powder; toss and repeat until evenly coated.
And that’s it! Now, you have a healthy snack that’s a natural carb combined with
a healthy source of fat and a really high quality protein – and it’s really delicious,
you’re going to love it. If you liked this tip, please give it a thumbs up, share it
