When you think of popcorn, you probably imagine a heaping container of movie theater-style popcorn, drizzled with melted butter. Yes, this type of popcorn is delicious, but it’s also jam-packed with saturated fat and sodium, which can easily add hundreds of calories to your daily diet. However, there is a healthier way to prepare popcorn. After all, popcorn is a whole grain, and when prepared appropriately, can make for a healthy and satisfying snack.

Below, check out a few unique and crave-worthy ways to season basic, budget-friendly popcorn, straight from Live Eat Learn and our community of 2 bedroom apartments in Arlington TX.
