Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup organic popcorn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup natural blue spirulina powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and melt the coconut oil.
  2. Test the kernels by dropping 2-3 into the oil; cover and wait for them to pop.
  3. Once test kernels pop, add the remaining 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels and gently shake the pot to coat them in oil.
  4. Return the pot to heat, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and shake gently every few seconds until the popping slows.
  5. Remove from heat when popping slows, and pour the popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together blue spirulina, powdered sugar, and sea salt. If using, melt butter and whisk in vanilla.
  7. Drizzle melted butter over the warm popcorn, toss gently, then sprinkle the blue sugar mixture in batches, tossing until coated.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy.

Notes

Store cooled popcorn in an airtight container. Best enjoyed within 1-2 days for freshness.
