Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unflavored whey protein powder
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the unflavored whey protein powder with 2 tablespoons of water until fully dissolved and smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot with a lid, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and cover. When the test kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels in an even layer.
Step 3
Cover the pot and shake occasionally until the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, then remove from heat.
Step 4
While the popcorn pops, combine honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until honey is melted and well combined.
Step 5
After removing the popcorn from heat, immediately pour the honey mixture over the popcorn in the pot. Quickly cover the pot again and shake vigorously to coat all the popcorn evenly.
Step 6
Remove the lid, pour the dissolved protein mixture over the kettle popcorn, and give it a quick stir to ensure even coating. Be gentle to avoid breaking the popcorn.
Step 7
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high-protein honey kettle popcorn!
