perfect protein popcorn

It is widely understood and practiced that the best part about popcorn is licking up a the little extra leftover bits of topping at the bottom. And it is widely misunderstood that vegetarians have little to no recourse for protein beyond soy and "rice and beans"- two protein sources I get tired of very easily. They may never know nutritional and textural joy of licking up little bits of the beautiful multicolored topping from

Perfect Protein Popcorn

1/4 loose popcorn
2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
5 tablespoons nutritional yeast (don't judge me, its delicious)
3 tablespoons hemp seeds
a good pinch or two of Red Alaea Salt (I got mine from cocoacinnamon, its delicious and nutritious but more importantly I consider it crucial to the color story of the topping bits at the popcorn- red salt and green hemp seeds)

Heat the oil on medium high, add the popcorn, shake the shit out of it when it starts to pop. Transfer to bowl and top with the delicious bits.

If you're wondering why your hemp seeds are so expensive and dollar mcburgers are only a dollar, please contact these folks. Both hemp seeds and nutritional yeast contain a "complete" protein. And vegetarians don't get what?
