satisfied7 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 What is your favorite thing to bring to the movies to snack on? I am on Day 4 and thinking of the things I might struggle with in the future. Thanks for all the support on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeightonAnne Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I just finished day 3, during which I saw a movie at the theater. I tend to be a person who likes to have a hot dog or sandwich in a movie (don't really know why, I just like having a 'meal' in there) so I decided to bring in a Whole 30 meal. I went to Whole Foods before and got some freshly sliced roast beef, dried mango, a Kombucha drink and carrot sticks. I really enjoyed snacking on these in the theater (though I left my carrots til after the movie because they were way too loud!). It was a little weird to pull out a baggie of roast beef when everyone else is enjoying their popcorn, but it felt good to know that I was doing something I enjoy and still sticking with my commitment to the Whole 30. I've also been trying not to have dried fruit at all on the program because I love it and tend to just keep eating it, so the mango felt like a special movie time treat!

ladyhoward Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have brought some Gourmet Grassfed jerky with me, along with veggies (baby carrots or bell peppers or cucumbers). Hard-boiled eggs work too. I don't have a big fruit problem, so sometimes I'll bring a chopped apple or pear and eat that with my jerky. I used to use Larabars as my substitute, but that is too close to a candy bar for me and just makes me crave the real thing, so I don't eat those much anymore. If you like hot dogs, Applegate has a really yummy one that has compliant ingredients - you could still enjoy your movie hot dog (just minus the bun and the condiments - may look weird eating a plain hot dog, but they're still yummy ). Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana in Canada Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm boring. I just bring a baggie of cashews and raisins. My husband likes dried dates, but they are like candy--they have no brakes for me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Louise Alvidres Grable Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Has anyone tried paleo cauliflower popcorn? Movies + popcorn = exactly what I want at the movies. Probably SWYPO. I want to try it but as a side dish and incorporated into my meal so that it's not SWYPO. I could even do that by bringing a Whole30 dinner for which paleo popcorn is one of the vegetables. I've found two recipes and I think they're both compliant. The first is savory and like regular popcorn and the other looks like it's sweet like caramel corn. http://fastpaleo.com/cauliflower-popcorn/ http://cravingsgoneclean.com/2011/12/24/cauliflower-popcorn/ Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevKT Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Roast cauliflower with olive oil and cumin. My son thinks it tastes like cheesy popcorn. But I would also bring jerky with me for protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepifer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Kale chips FTW! Super easy to make and great crunch factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernBeth Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Pistachios and other nuts, grapes and sparkling water! Make sure you crack the sparkling water at a loud part, gets noisy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsStick Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I went to a play last night at our little local playhouse and I brought along raisins just in case. I had rushed dinner and didn't have really any veggies or fruits so I figured that would balance out a little. I didn't end up eating them - it was a small theater and a really fun show! Bringing raisins was such a weird thing for me - before my W30 I'd bring peanut butter chips or chocolate chips or something like that. I guess I'm kind of growing up finally (only took 27 years...)?
