4 servings
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or canola oil
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap. - 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
- 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.
