I'm a human being on planet earth. I've lived hundreds of lifetimes. In this incarnation I'm here to advance medicine.

Surprisingly, I’ve been faring pretty well without sugar. My daily green smoothie and the occasional almond butter-stuffed date are keeping my sweet cravings at bay, and more often than not I don’t find myself wanting something sweet after dinner.

That being said, I’m still hungry between meals… and it’s actually been fun to think of new non-sugary snacks.

Cinnamon & Toasted Coconut Stovetop Popcorn

I’ve recently discovered the deliciousness of stovetop popcorn, and Bree’s recipe has become my go-to technique.

I cut down on the amount of coconut oil used to pop the popcorn, and changed up the topping ingredients to include cinnamon, toasted coconut, and almond slices.

Cinnamon & Toasted Coconut Stovetop Popcorn

Crunchy from the almonds, salty, slightly sweet from the cinnamon and coconut, this popcorn not only tastes fantastic but is also the perfect trifecta of carb/protein/fat to satiate your hunger. The low-calorie popcorn makes it a voluminous snack, and the coconut and almonds make it a hunger-busting one.

Isn’t that everything a snack should be?!
