I've been putting weird stuff on my popcorn for a long time like spraying cider or balsamic vinegar on my popcorn, or sprinkling nutritional yeast, or parmesan powder (need butter to make it stick), but I decided to add a little protein if possible. I tried shredding cheese very FINE, and layering that in the popcorn as it came out of the air popper. I used all sorts of different cheeses like provolone, cheddar, oniony cotswold, and some melt right in from the hot air, some don't. When it didn't melt in right away, I microwaved the whole bowl for about a minute. It is a divinely, gooey mess. Not tons of protein, but the more cheese, the better, and it is so superior to plain popcorn.  |

Foie Gras is fatted goose liver.
I would try using some Gruyere on the popcorn.

I dont know that you can add any meaningful protein to popcorn. For me, sometimes a food that I want is just a food that I want. I'd eat the popcorn, if it's what you're craving, and wash it down with a protein shake.

I'd eat the popcorn, if it's what you're craving, and wash it down with a protein shake. That's mostly true, but I realized that I'd eaten the entire bowl of popcorn yesterday, and it had about 3 cups of fluffily shredded cheese melted in it, which must be worth something. I now have to see how much of the block gets shredded to make 3 cups of shred. Even if it adds nothing (like the vinegar I'm always spraying on it) gooey cheese makes everything better. |

I'm with you on the gooey cheese thing. In fact gooey cheese was pretty much my lunch today.
