4 servings
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or canola oil
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the seasoning
- ¼ cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 3 tbsp cheddar cheese powder
- 1 tsp jalapeño powder
Ingredient noteGround and dried chilies add only a trace of fructose at the small amounts used for seasoning, so this is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid jalapeno powder, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, cheddar cheese powder, jalapeño powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne, if using, until evenly combined. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 kernels, cover with the lid, and wait until all 3 have popped — this signals the oil is ready.
