During the Eggstra Credit portion of Chat #323, we talked all about popcorn (which is one of my favorite snacks!) I was so happy when popcorn became zero points with the latest points system, but sometimes you need to jazz it up a little. In true Egg Lady Labs fashion, I tried out 11 different ways to try it, and 9 of them are still zero points! During the live chat we had a vote for the favorite, and you won’t believe what won!
The first one I tried was a classic for IYHAE: Nutritional Yeast! I put 1 tsp per one serving of popcorn and the taste is amazing! Delicious as always, and it keeps it at zero points.
The next set were part of a Kernel Season’s Popcorn Seasoning Variety Pack that I got off of Amazon. It is a set of eight flavors, so you are bound to find one you love! All of the Kernel’s seasonings are 0 points for 1tsp on a single serving of popcorn.
Nacho Cheddar – it tastes like nacho cheddar! I really liked it!
Butter – tastes just like buttered popcorn!
Bacon Cheddar – I was skeptical of this one. Savory and smoky, but still yummy!
Ranch – a nice ranch flavor, that one is a favorite so far!
White Cheddar – eh. pretty good, but not my personal favorite.
Cheesy Jalapeno – a little jalapeno kick right at the end, but I liked it!
Kettle Corn – it is what it says it is. Kettle Corn! Yum!
Caramel Corn – I might be tempted to put a little extra on there. It’s not very strong but not too bad.
The last two are other popcorn seasonings that I found at the grocery store:
The first one I made some popcorn for Alyssa and she thoroughly enjoyed it… SNICKERS! This is Snickers Shakers Popcorn Seasoning that I got off of Amazon as well. This is not a zero point option, but is only 1 point for 1tsp and that’s not too bad for something that tastes so good!
The other is Cinnamon Toast Crunch and would be perfect for someone who loves sweets! This one is also 1 point per tsp. I think this one tastes EXACTLY like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, its crazy!
My favorites have been decided between the savory and sweet options because there was no way I could choose just one!
My favorite savory: Nutritional Yeast! Bacon Cheddar and Ranch would be good additions, but Nutritional Yeast is where it’s at.
My favorite sweet: SNICKERS! It is well worth the 1 point and it is hands down the best out of the sweet ones.
Let me know your favorites by commenting on the YouTube video for this chat, I would appreciate it!
