**UPDATE** Since posting this video, we have discovered that Pop Zest recently changed their recipes. Unlike the packages we have in our pantry, all three varieties now list either extra virgin olive oil or sunflower oil as their final ingredient. The packages in our pantry also list a variety of tree nuts as ingredients, but those are not included in the newer versions. Please read any labels carefully before purchasing if you have any specific restrictions / allergies!
Brian LOVES going to movies, and his favorite part used to be getting a nice, giant tub of popcorn. Unfortunately, movie theater popcorn is full of oil, butter, salt and who knows what else, so it is off limits for us on our whole food, plant-based diet.
A few weeks ago, we finally made it to the theater to see Detective Pikachu. It was so good! Afterwards, Brian wanted some popcorn, so we went home and got our air popper out. It can be tricky to make oil-free popcorn taste delicious, but Brian has been experimenting with different methods and seasoning mixes over the past year, so we thought we’d share his findings!

My parrot gets soooo excited when she hears the popcorn popper. She always gets three (cooled, unseasoned) pieces of popcorn when I make myself a bowl. Nutritional yeast is my favorite popcorn seasoning. Sometimes I'll do paprika, garlic, and nutritional yeast, but just plain nutritional yeast is amazing on its own.

This spice mixture looks delish! Will make it soon. I put dill pickle juice in a mini spray bottle and keep it in the fridge for spraying on popcorn. It doesn't taste like pickles on the popcorn, but it definitely helps hold a spice mix. 🥒

Normally, I just like my popcorn plain because I am just weird that way, but I do like an italian based mix, just haven't found one that I really like yet, so I might have to do some experiments on my own. Thanks guys! You two Krocks rock!

This message is from Brian’s girlfriend Margret. We’ve been following you guys for a couple months now and enjoy your content very much! Thanks so much for this recipe! Your hair looks so cute Jessica! We tried your spice mix, so tasty! We like to add a little citric acid to our popcorn mix to make it just a little brighter. We also added just a touch of cayenne to make it a little hotter. We sometime make one with black pepper and citric acid which is super tasty, which tastes kind of like salt and pepper. Or we’ve made one with curry powder, I bet that would be good with nutritional yeast too.

The last 15-20 years however long this season has been out it is Everglades Seasoning it's in a white and green container. Old Bay Seasoning is really good if you like spicy!.. I also like Nutritional Yeast and Parma Vegan Parmesan Garlicky Green... I like all four of these Seasoning individually or some of them together, on potatoes, rice, green beans, all kinds of things!! Whenever I want a little kick on something that's my go-to's....I really enjoy your videos thanks for sharing your recipe can't wait to try it out chili and cheez that would be a nice change!! ✌️💕🤗

Thanks to another viewer for pointing this out - they changed their recipes from the last time we ordered it. All three varieties now list either extra virgin olive oil or sunflower oil as the very last ingredient. The ones we have are an older recipe! Just wanted to point that out in case! We will probably still use it because the amount of oil has to be very minimal...

I make a knock off to Lil Lads Herbal popcorn which is sold at Whole Foods. I am not sure if its just a New England product. Its the most addictive substance I have ever eaten. My knock off seasoning is roughly (as I don't measure) , 1/2 cup nooch, 1/2t onion powder, 1/4t garlic powder, 1/4t citric acid powder OR 1/2t lemon juice powder, 1/4 t salt, 1/4 t paprika and 1T dried dill weed whirred in a small food processor or spice mill. I actually make this in large batches to sprinkle on foods that need just a little something else. I look forward to trying your blend. I imagine it must have a sort of nacho cheese vibe. Edited to add...You both look awesome. I swear you are thinner each video. Jessica the thing I notice the most is how wonderful your skin looks now...glowing!
