Ingredients

Ingredients (to make 1 bowl of each type of popcorn):

3 serving-sized bowls of popped popcorn, with unpopped kernels removed (For best results, use microwave popcorn, so you can keep track of calories per serving. Note: You will be able to find microwave popcorn that has only 15 calories per popped cup, if you check the nutrition information on the package. This is very low, but also very important in keeping this a low calorie snack. Just microwave the popcorn, according to package directions.)
butter-flavored spray (or any oil spray that is fat free and has 0 transfats. I use Parkay spray.)

for Cheese Popcorn:
cheese flavored sprinkles, to taste (I find this with the herbs and spices at my grocery store.)


for Garlic-Herb Popcorn:
garlic herb seasoning blend (I find this with the herbs and spices at my grocery store. It is McCormick brand. If you cannot find this, use an Italian herb blend, or other herbs and spices of your choice.)

for Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Popcorn:
cup brown sugar
ground cinnamon, to taste
