The most awesome popcorn recipes, EVER! The flavor of this popcorn is reminiscent of nacho cheese Doritos. Who doesn’t want a healthy snack that also tastes incredible? Popcorn can be a healthy snack if nutritious, real food ingredients are used.

Popcorn Recipes

There are many different seasonings you can put on plain popcorn to add flavor. When I make popcorn I usually season it with melted butter, coconut oil, nutritional yeast (high in B vitamins) and some salt. The combination of healthy fats and salt for flavor make it a winning combination for snack time. We usually dine on this snack a few times a week. My friend who gave me this recipe has a great how to video demonstrating her popcorn recipe.

To make any popcorn recipe you’ll need a popcorn popper, I use an air popper. You’ll also need some butter, salt, popcorn and a seasoning blend of your choice. Since we snack on popcorn a few times a week I buy organic popcorn in bulk from Azure Standard. This multicolored popcorn pops up in several different variations of white and off-white.

While perusing pinterest I saw a few links for Doritos flavored popcorn, but every link I clicked on was a bad link. My kids like chips of all kinds but I do not appreciate all the preservatives and dyes in flavored chips. I opened up my lab, also known as my kitchen, to start experimenting to find the perfect flavor combination for nacho cheese popcorn. The nutritional yeast flakes add a cheesy flavor while the paprika and chili powders give the nacho flavor.
