Movie Theatre Snacks

I almost always bring my own snacks to movie theatres. I don't usually like their selection, but I would also prefer to snack on healthy options rather than junk food unless I'd really like to treat myself.

Tonight, Casey and I went on a date night to see The Avengers (for a second time, in my case). We brought along a small container of fresh raspberries, a bag of sugar snap peas, and some Brookside Dark Chocolate Almonds as our snacks.

I ended up devouring nearly all of the raspberries on my own, I ate half of the sugar snap peas while Casey ate a good portion of the other half, and we both ate the entire bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Almonds. Oops! I guess it's not too bad considering what a bag of popcorn could have cost us...nutritionally, that is! Plus, these movie snacks were my entire dinner. I didn't have time to eat beforehand, so I snacked through dinner.

This picture always makes me laugh!

Overall, it was a very good night! I think The Avengers was even better the second time around, but that might have been because I was watching it with Casey.

I have a very busy day tomorrow. Between the before and after school program, I have a 5-hour shift at my retail job. After all that, I head straight out to the barn to teach therapeutic riding lessons before riding my own horse, Ginny. Phew! I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Time for me to rest up for a busy day ahead!
