Wasn't feeling any of the recipes the past two days on The Chew, especially after Daphne Oz ate off the same fork she’d just used to share her spaghetti with a stranger.
There is a mash-up using popcorn that I DO like - Dr. Mehmet Oz’s recommendation to use Brewer’s Yeast (what his daughter Daphne calls Nutritional Yeast) in lieu of salt on popcorn.
On today's The Chew, Clinton Kelly's popcorn needs no tweaking from me as it was already Ozzified - well at least the written recipe was as it didn't pour on melted butter like he did on air. Even without butter, it's also a whole lot tastier than Daphne’s herbed popcorn looked on The Chew‘s October 7th episode, IMHO. Her recipe might very well float someone else’s boat, but it wouldn’t be mine. I’m the girl that only likes plain potato chips & plain tortilla chips – admittedly because plain doesn’t compete with the flavor of dips & salsas.
I also abhor air-popped popcorn, rice cakes or anything else that feels akin to eating Styrofoam, so rather than drizzling coconut oil over my popcorn, I pop my kernels in it instead so every kernel gets a touch of oily goodness. This is a popcorn mash-up I have eaten quite often - ever since Dr. Oz recommended it on his show last season.

Plain Popcorn, Ozzified
- ¼ c popcorn kernels (160 calories)
- 1 TBSP Coconut oil (120 calories)
- 1 TBSP Brewer’s Yeast (50 calories, 35 mg sodium)
Pop the popcorn kernels in the coconut oil (I used a Whirleypop, but you can use whatever you like, a deep pot, an old school electric popper, etc.) When the kernels stop popping, put in a big bowl & top with the Brewer’s yeast.
Makes 5-7 cups, 76 calories & 7 mg sodium per cup
