In an effort to stop eating crackers, which generally have a long list of ingredients, I decided to google some healthy snacks and see if there was anything I could manage effectively and enjoy as well. Popcorn was on the top of many lists, especially air popped popcorn. Apparently it doesn't have a lot of calories and it has plenty of fiber. Well, air popping is the only way I do it, so that was pretty easy.
I also looked up different seasonings I could make for my popcorn. I popped two batches and made one in the traditional way, just adding a little salt. The other batch I made into cinnamon sugar, just tossing about two teaspoons over the batch. Each made 6 cups, or three servings for me. I want to see how long it lasts before it gets stale because I don't want to make popcorn everyday. Popcorn is also way more cost effective than buying crackers. It isn't, however, very good with hummus so I'll have to find a different substitute for that-probably cucumbers or carrots.
*Note: My popcorn was multicolored so that's why my popped corn is different colors.
Good luck. I applaud two things - 1st, an new post, and 2nd, finding a sub for crackers (too addicting for me.) I have a recipe for gluten free crackers to be used with hummus, but I've never made them. Let me know if you want it. :-}
