This salad is wonderful. To reduce sugar and increase calcium, I used plain yogurt and just added a dash of cinnamon and a squirt of lemon juice for flavoring (per serving). I plan to make this weekly as a healthy snack to have on hand. Sure, the recipe is not rocket science, but I wouldn't have thought to try it if it wasn't posted here, so thank you!

These were great! I followed the recipe exactly, using 3 bags of microwave popcorn. This yielded 16 baseball-sized balls. I used the sink to mix, my crockpot would only fit half the recipe. I had to spray my hands with cooking spray between each ball. I added two drops of food coloring, hoping to get that pastel green shade like one of the pictures posted, but although the syrup looked quite green in the pan, by the time it was mixed with the popcorn, you couldn't even see the green. I'll use more coloring next time. I also had a bit of difficulty getting the plastic wrap to stick around the balls, since they were coated in cooking spray.

I left out the protein powder and used vanilla yogurt instead of plain, otherwise left everything the same. The consistency (just thin enough to easily get through a straw) and amount (16oz) were perfect. I don't like yogurt, but know it's good for me, and this is a way I can stomach it. I put the flax seeds in first and ground them before adding the rest of the ingredients, and this got them well ground. It was enough to fill me up for breakfast.
