Easy and Healthy DYI Microwave Popcorn

So, I got this idea from my mother in law.  Here is what you will need...

1. A bag of loose popcorn

2. A paper lunch bag (brown or white)

3. A measuring cup

4. Kernel Season's Popcorn Spritzer Butter Flavor (Zero Calories, Zero Fat!!)

5. Popcorn salt

6. A Microwave
Here's what you do...

1.  Measure out about a 1/2 to 1 cup of popcorn kernels. (Depending on the size of your paper lunch bag)

2.  Pour kernels into bag and roll the top the bag closed 2-3 times. 

3.  Next, holding the top of the bag with two hands make a 1 inch tear through the folded part of the bag.  This will help steam escape and also keep the bag closed.

4.  Place the bag laying flat in the microwave. 

5.  If you have a popcorn setting on your microwave you can use it...If you know how long store bought microwave popcorn cooks in your microwave use that time.  For me, my I cook my popcorn for 2 min and 15 sec.  This may be trial and error until you find your perfect cooking time!  NO MATTER WHAT stop the cooking process when you do not hear constant popping, this will help from burning your popcorn.

6.  Take the bag out of the microwave and pour into a bowl. 

7.  Spray with your popcorn spritzer (ZERO CAL, ZERO FAT) and salt to taste

8.  ENJOY!!  This is some of the best and healthy popcorn I have ever had!! LOVE LOVE

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions!

***Just for your info....
According to the Jolly Time white popcorn kernels bag.  1 cup of popped corn (with nothing on it) is 20 Calories. 

SOOO, there is no fat and no calories in the popcorn spritz, 0 calories in the popcorn salt, and 20 calories in 1 cup of popped corn!!!

 EAT, EAT and BE Healthy!!
