Healthified Caramel Corn

Let me start by saying that I realize that not everyone eats perfect all the time. I have mentioned many times that I am a believer in moderation. Just because I eat a certain way, doesn’t mean that it is the only way or the best way to eat. It simply means that I have found a way of eating that works for me and my lifestyle. With this thought in mind, I do get a lot of requests for “healthified” recipes that are not just vegetables and chicken. So…every now and then I try to help y’all out with something that may satisfy your sweet tooth and not kill your progress. The truth of the matter is that if you are eating consistently well %80-90 of the time, you can probably get away with having that %10-20 that isn’t consistent. I say this with a reminder that you just have to be careful not to let your %10-20 turn into your %80-90. Anywhooo…with that being said I give you a BOMB recipe for some healthier caramel popcorn. I tried it. I LOVED it. caramelcorn Healthified Caramel Popcorn

  • 5 TBSP unpopped popcorn
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla
  • 1 TBS butter
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
Directions: Pop your popcorn. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, vanilla and the butter.  Heat on low stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once it is,  add the baking soda. This will make your caramel sauce foam, allowing it to pour equally. Pour this mixture over the popped corn and stir to coat. Keep stirring for about a minute until the popcorn is equally coated. The caramel sauce may fall to the bottom of the bowl, so make sure you are getting the bottom of the bowl as you stir. ENJOY!
