Popcorn is a low-calorie filling snack, but eiwit popcorn is even more nourishing, packed with 12 grams of protein per serving and only 96 Calories.
It’s quick snack time! Picture this: you want to watch TV, but you don’t want empty calories. Popcorn is the classic treat, but you don’t want all the salt or sugar of ready-made popcorn. And you want some protein, if possible.
When I find myself there, I make my protein popcorn. It’s popcorn with protein powder! It’s a great alternative to Eiwitrijke trailmix or Eiwitballetjes van banaan and it’s ready in under 5 minutes!

How to Make Protein Popcorn
If you know how to make popcorn, you’re most of the way to making protein popcorn.

Place your popping corn in your popcorn-making jar.

Close the jar and microwave the popcorn until it pops.

Spray some oil on the popcorn and add the cinnamon, protein powder, and salt.

Work the popcorn with your hands to make sure they’re all covered in protein powder.
aroma
You can flavor this recipe in many ways:
- Use a different flavor of protein powder: chocolate for chocolate popcorn, strawberry and vanilla for a strawberry and cream flavor.
- Voeg gemalen toe gevriesdroogde frambozen to the protein powder.
- Voeg een scheutje toe gesmolten chocolade bovenop.
- Verspreid wat runny peanut butter over the popcorn.







I love your recipes. I use My Recipe Box to import them too into my recipe keeper. the only thing I didn’t like was that the app couldn’t pick up the notes section because they were different tables. This recipe worked great.
That’s why you should come back to my website, sign up and use my recipe collection to save the recipe you like and find them all here 🙂
I had some unflavored popcorn and wanted to make it taste a bit better, this was great!
