Who doesn’t love winding down with a really good movie after a long week?
And an important part of the whole movie experience is (of course) the movie snacks. But as sticky cinema floors can attest, foods that traditionally accompany films are packed full of sugar and other nasties.
Looking to keep it lighter? No worries! Whether you’re heading out to the pictures or chilling at home with Netflix, these healthy movie snacks will last you all the way to the credits.
Swap the chips for… popcorn!
Popcorn can be a pretty healthy snack, as long as you stay away from the packaged kinds cooked in vegetable oil. Luckily, making your own is super easy (and you can add your own punchy seasonings, too!).
Swap the lolly mix for… gut-friendly gummies!
Ditch the lolly bowl and make your own chewy, sweet gummies. You can blend them with whatever flavour you like, but this peanut butter “fudge” is the most indulgent. Upgrade by drizzling with melted chocolate when set – like a healthy peanut butter cup!
Supercharged Peanut Butter Fudge
Swap the soft drink for… iced tea!
You don’t need a jumbo Coke to feel refreshed. This iced green tea recipe is super cooling, and even has the fizz from sparkling water. If you’re taking this to the movie theatre, be sure to tote in a water bottle.
Swap the pretzels for… crackers!
Baked hard pretzels aren’t the worst snack you could eat… but they’re certainly not the most nutritious either! Up the ante with nutrient-dense seeds, herbs and our favourite versatile veggie, zucchini!
Zucchini Rosemary Seed Crackers
Swap the chocolate for… um, chocolate!
Yes, we’re big fans of chocolate here… just the 85 per cent kind. These homemade bars are the perfect replica for another nutty, caramelly bar on the market!
Swap the slushie for… granita!
There ain’t nothing healthy about a syrupy Slush Puppie. But did you know you can make a frozen strawberry granita with just one ingredient? For people taking this to the cinema, load it into a jar.
Swap the choc top for… (n)ice cream!
What would movie night be without ice cream? This choc chip cookie dough version is free from fructose, but just as indulgent as anything you’ll get from the candy bar!
