Whenever my kids have friends over, the number-one requested snack is popcorn. It got me thinking: What if we take it a step further and add in some additional ingredients so that it becomes even more nutrient-dense, delicious, filling — and a mini lesson in carb-counting your own “cooking”? That’s when this recipe was born. It’s simple and contains easy-to-measure ingredients that teens can throw together on their own. Plus, it makes the perfect amount to share with a few friends.
