Here it is!  My favorite childhood snack: popcorn and nutritional yeast.  I might have been the only kid in town that didn’t care for movie popcorn.  And you better believe I was the only kid in town that requested yeast on the regular.

My mom had an ancient air popper, or so I thought.  It turns out that poppers haven’t changed much over the last twenty years.

Well… Except for the fact that the like-model popper that I bought spewed out scorching hot kernels and gave me awkward popcorn burns.  Not cool.

So I bought the carnie-like popper pictured above and, since then, popcorn making has been a lot less painful.

All you have to do to recreate this snack is pop some kernels and sprinkle with melted Earth Balance, salt, and nutritional yeast, in that order.  And!  Since nutritional yeast has 18 amino acids, 15 minerals, and is a super duper source of B-complex vitamins, there’s nothing guiltful about this guilty pleasure.
