This popcorn recipe is a simple snack with the perfect combination and sweet coconut and tangy lime! A healthy alternative to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Are you a popcorn fan? It’s something I find people either love or hate. Something I like about popcorn is that it fills you up without having to eat a lot, so it’s the perfect alternative to chips or other unhealthy snack foods.

Not all popcorn is made equal. Many microwave popcorn brands contantain artificial flavors/ingredients and are unhealthy. I always buy kernels that are organic/non-GMO and pop them in my air popper.

The thing I love most about popcorn is that you can make it so many ways! Sweet, spicy, salty… the list goes on and on. This sweet and tangy coconut lime popcorn tops my list of favorites!

**This is the air popper and popcorn kernels that I use!

Enjoy!

  I'm sure it must be unsweetened because the sugar would burn. She also said she used an air popper. That would get all gummed up very fast and maybe catch fire with the sugar in there.

  I wonder as well. Jay said it the sweetened would get gummed up in the air fryer, but only the popcorn goes in there, so ???

  Since she lists the sugar content of one cup of coconut as 2 grams, I am guessing it is unsweetened coconut.

  You don’t put sugar in an air popper. If you add in sugar it’s to the mix in the bowl!

  If you read the instructions exactly, you cook the popcorn first. Then you put the toasted coconut and popped popcorn in the bowl.

  Air popper, not air fryer. Click on the link to see what she is talking about.

  For Jay W....the only thing that goes in the air popper is the popcorn. All other ingredients are added to the popped product.
