    Monkey Popcorn Snack Mix with Coconut and Bananas

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on July 14, 2013 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    This fun and simple infusion of coconut and bananas makes for a very tasty monkey popcorn snack mix. I typically recommend the large unsweetened coconut flakes (not shreds), but for a sweeter treat, feel free to go for the sweetened variety. Or you can even toss the popcorn snack mix with a touch of extra sweetener after the coconut oil drizzle.

    When made as is, the popcorn snack mix is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, vegan, and all around allergy-friendly. However, I do recommend that you splurge on some organic or non-GMO kernels. Popcorn isn’t GMO yet, but corn in general is rapidly becoming a top genetically-modified crop. If corn isn’t an option for you, then try rice cake crumbles, like in my Peanut Butter Cinnamon “Popcorn” Crumbles.

    Also, if you are keeping an eye on sugars and processed ingredients, check the label carefully on the banana chips. Many contain hydrogenated oils, preservatives, or excessive additional fats or sugars. Gerbs Banana Chips are made simply with coconut oil and without added sugars. Sincerely Nuts Banana Chips are a good option if you prefer them a little sweetened.

However, we have adapted their formula ever-so-slightly to be dairy-free and have more of a coconut infusion.

    This snack has the perfect balance of lightly sweet, lightly salty, and buttery richness (from the coconut oil).
