BBQ Popcorn

Popcorn has a bad reputation as a salty, buttery junk food. But without all the salt, butter, and oil that movie theaters add, popcorn is actually a healthy whole grain snack.

You can use store-bought barbecue sauce (look for a brand with no added sugar), or whip up this quick and easy Fruit-Sweetened BBQ Sauce.
