MoFo: Snack Time, and a Favorite Appliance

One of my favorite snacks is popcorn. I was tired of having to use oil every time, though, so decided it was time to purchase an air popper. And I have never regretted it!

I doesn't get much simpler than this--add popcorn, plug in the machine, and you're done.

Sometimes I eat it plain, sometimes I add a little salt, or you could even add herbs. We have added VegIt before and loved that as well.

But my favorite topping would have to be nutritional yeast. My popcorn is practically swimming in nutritional yeast (referred to as nooch by many people.) Unfortunately it doesn't stick very well. I don't want to add any butter (vegan of course) so have tried tamari. It wasn't my favorite, but the nutritional yeast did stick.

Your vegan two cents: What's your favorite vegan snack? Are you a lover of nutritional yeast like I am?

I love a combo of nooch & sriracha on my popcorn... the sriracha helps the nooch stick and also, it's freaking delicious.

I've tried a light spray of olive oil on the popcorn to get the nooch to stick and that works okay but you're going to have some added fat from that. (Less than if you poured EB on it, but more than none.); October 6, 2011 at 7:59 AM
