Be on the lookout for these tasty and convenient plant-based snacks!
Sure, you could get out a big pot, heat some oil, and pop your own kernels. But, when you’re faced with a spur-of-the-moment movie night or long-haul road trip, that process can seem out of the question. Instead, reach for pre-popped, bagged popcorn and get your snack on. Hungry? It’s time to dig in!
Is Bagged Popcorn Vegan?
Before we load up on this ready-to-eat snack, it’s important to know that not all bagged popcorn is vegan. Some brands opt for real butter, cheese, and other dairy ingredients, which as you know, are not plant-based. But don’t worry, not all hope is lost! There are plenty of vegan bagged popcorn brands and we’ve got the scoop!
