Hello Angels,
Have you ever asked yourself is popcorn make me fat or is popcorn healthy?
If so, I have good news for you, popcorn is one of the healthiest snack you can have. It is a great source of antioxidants and filled with fiber.
I am a huge popcorn lover ( of course the homemade one). In past, I was prefering potato chips over popcorn. Because popcorn at cinemas taste horrible for me. They are too salty.
A few years ago, I decided to quit eating potato chips because of the health and high calorie. A few times my mother prepared me homemade popcorn and started to love it.
Now at least once a week, I prepare myself a huge bowl of popcorn. My favorite combinations are ;
-
Olive oil, salt and pepper
-
Coconut oil and salt
When I started to prefer popcorn as a snack, I made some research bout nutrition facts and health benefits. I learned amazing things about this delicious snack.
In today’s post, I would like to share everything about popcorn.
-
Popcorn has low calories
I am talking about the homemade one not at the cinemas. Because there is a huge difference between them.
If you pop it the right way, you will not gain weight in fact, you can lose some weight. Because it is filled with fiber and it makes you feel full for hours.
