Ingredients
Method
*NOTE: This recipe calls for popping your popcorn in a pot with a tight-fitting lid. If you’d prefer, a bagged popcorn of your choice will also work. We recommend non-buttered popcorn.
- preheat a large pot with a tight fitting lid over low heat.
- Add the popcorn kernels and close the lid.
- gently shake the pot every 4-5 minutes until kernels start to pop (about 2 minutes)
- Continue shaking the pot until all the kernels have popped.
- Transform popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and coconut oil together for 15 seconds.
- Place the zero cal sweetener in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until it starts to liquify and then add it to the coconut and peanut butter mixture.
- Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle half the peanut butter mixture over the popcorn and toss to coat.
- Pour the remaining peanut butter mixture and continue tossing until evenly distributed.
- Cut the Quest protein cookies into small crumbles and toss into the popcorn.
- Enjoy!
