Healthy Snack

Popcorn is one of my children’s favorite snacks. It’s also a great way to sneak in some extra B vitamins! By adding nutritional yeast onto the popped corn, it not only adds a great cheesy flavor but plenty of B vitamins and protein.

Nutritional yeast is a non-active form of yeast that the Ancient Egyptians prized for its health-boosting qualities. Rich in amino acids, a complete protein and fantastic source of B complex vitamins, nutritional yeast is a healthy and tasty addition to just about any food, including freshly popped popcorn.

Be careful when adding the nutritional yeast on top it’s so fine that some of it can become airborne and make you sneeze.
