What is a healthy popcorn snack that is all natural?
I was wondering what’s a really healthy popcorn? I don’t trust the bags you microwave, not when I’m dieting! I figured I can buy it and cook it on the stove with some coconut oil and a pan. I’m on a diet, and heard this was a fantastic snack when done right and do need more fiber in my diet.
I’m looking for specific popcorn, not advice!
I’m looking for specific types. NOT HOW TO COOK IT!

I think the microwavable popcorn is not too bad. I dont personally eat it but I dont see anything wrong with it. As long as you are not topping it with butter, you are doing ok.
As for having more fiber in your diet, a good snack would be eating a fruit ( banana or an apple or a cup of grapes ) and 1 serving of mixed nuts ( cashews,almonds,peanuts …You can buy the mixed nuts at Walmart). The nuts and very high in fiber and have healthy ( the good kind ) fat in them as well as some protein. The fruit also has great fiber and will keep you full much longer than popcorn would.

Plain popcorn is extremely healthy. It is a whole grain. Buy an air popper (they sell them at Walmart for like 20 bucks..I just bought one lol) and the regular popcorn kernels. You can pop it yourself and make sure you know exactly how many calories you are getting. Don’t use any oils or butter.
