Now as much as we hate to admit it, popcorn in a microwaveable bag isn’t that great for you. I’m sorry, but it’s true!

Palm oil?

Natural flavor?

Color added?

Why is this stuff in my popcorn?!

So you might be thinking “I can never eat popcorn again!” Don’t worry! I have a solution that is just as easy as prepackaged popcorn, but without the guilt.

All you need is a:

Small brown paper lunch sack

Un-popped popcorn kernels

If you have the un-popped popcorn kernels in your hand, take a look at the ingredients.

That’s right! You guessed it!

Un-popped corn kernels!

That’s all.

Now how much better do you feel already? No added color. No artificial flavors. No Palm oil. (whatever that is!)

How to make the popcorn:

     1.      Open your brown paper sack and pour in ½ cup of popcorn kernels.

     2.      Fold the opening on your bag down a few times, and crease with your fingers.

     3.      Place the bag upright into the microwave and turn the microwave on. The time you choose to cook the popcorn all depends on your microwave. If you have no idea how long it takes, microwave it until it slows to one or two pops…You don’t want to burn your snack!

You’re done!*
