Unless your movie theater is located in the produce aisle of Whole Foods, chances are there aren’t a lot of healthy options at the snack bar because for some dumb reason Swedish Fish don’t count as lean protein. So if you’re following keto or another low-carb diet, it can be tricky to find low-carb movie snacks to munch on.
That’s why we’ve compiled the list of 16 low-carb and keto movie snacks you can stuff in your purse or pockets and smuggle into the movie theater.
What Low-Carb Movie Snacks Can You Buy at the Theater?
Ok, if you’re not into sneaking your own snacks into the theater are there any snacks you can enjoy? You could opt for a child-size popcorn with no butter and a bottled water. Or stop being such a goody-two-shoes.
