Whenever I find myself craving an afternoon snack, I try to pick foods that are healthy and will keep me satisfied until my next meal. And there’s no better option than popcorn! Popcorn ishigh in fiber and low in calories(a 1-ounce serving of kernels gets you 3 cups of popped corn and contains about 100 calories), plus it’s just delicious.
And while there arevarious methods to make popcorn, like with an air-popper or in the microwave, I’ve found the perfect machine for making fresh popcorn on the stove: theWhirley-Pop Popcorn Popper. This popper will make up to 6 quarts of popcorn at a time, and it only takes around a teaspoon of oil. Not only will you have enough popcorn to snack on throughout the week, but you can cut back on grease.

Once you’ve made your fresh popcorn, you can play around with different seasonings. My go-to spice is garlic salt, but you could try other savory combinations as well.
