I first discovered Greg Doucette’s popcorn through a YouTube Channel. I was looking for a quick and easy snack to fuel my workouts so I decided to try it, and I was immediately hooked! It’s become one of my go-to snacks before or after a workout.

And then I found a recipe video from Greg Doucette, a fitness influencer and YouTuber. This popcorn is his signature creation and I just had to try it. The combination of the ingredients was perfect!

However, I found it quite difficult to replicate the exact same taste as I could not find all the ingredients. 

So I decided to experiment a little and make some changes to the recipe. And now I have perfected this delicious sweet-savory popcorn which tastes just like Greg Doucette’s original recipe!

Ingredients

Popcorn: You will need 1 bag of popcorn for this recipe and it is the main ingredient here.

Sugar-Free Maple Syrup: This will help to sweeten up the popcorn. Use 2 tablespoons of sugar-free maple syrup as per your taste.

IMO Syrup: IMO syrup such as vita fiber is used to thicken and bind the ingredients together. Use ⅓ cup of IMO syrup.

Protein Powder: Add a burst of flavor with your favorite protein powder. Use ⅓ cup of protein powder of your choice.

Cooking Directions

Step 1

Place a bag of popcorn in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, combine the maple syrup, IMO syrup, and protein powder; stir until everything is combined.

Step 3

When the popcorn is finished cooking, add the syrup mixture to the hot popcorn and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 4

Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for an additional minute. Stir together to combine the syrup mixture with the popcorn, then allow to cool before serving.

Cooking Tips

  • Be sure to stir the syrup mixture well before adding it to the popcorn, as this will ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • For an extra crunchy texture, add a few tablespoons of melted butter or oil to the popcorn before cooking.
  • Alternatively, you can make Doucette Popcorn on the stovetop. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the popcorn kernels. Cover with a lid and shake occasionally until all of the popcorn is popped about 5 minutes. Then proceed as directed with Steps 2-4.

What Ingredients Can I Replace or Substitute While Making It?

The great thing about Greg Doucette popcorn is that you can customize the recipe to your liking. For example, you can use different types of protein powder such as vanilla or chocolate to add flavor. 

You can also substitute the sugar-free maple syrup for honey or agave nectar if you prefer a sweeter taste. Additionally, you can use different types of IMO syrup such as VitaFiber or Erythritol to further customize the flavor.
