Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of protein powder?
Yes, you can, but the flavor will be different. Boba Nutrition's Brown Sugar Protein Powder or Original Milk Tea Protein Powder are highly recommended since it perfectly balances sweetness and caramel notes.
How would you store leftover protein popcorn?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep it crunchy.
Will heating the protein powder destroy its nutritional value?
It is best not to bake the protein at high heat as the boiling point of a liquid will damage the amino acid. Warm is good. Boiling is bad!
Can I add extra toppings?
Yes, try adding nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of dark chocolate to add texture and flavor.
