Movie theaters have always been a popular destination for friends and family to enjoy snacks and a movie together. Unfortunately, many traditional movie theater snacks are not vegan friendly. But that doesn’t mean vegans can’t find anything to eat at the movies!

Popcorn is the classic movie theater snack and the good news is that most popcorn sold in theaters is vegan friendly. However, it is important to check with your local theater as some may use butter flavored oils that are not vegan-friendly. To make sure you get a vegan snack, opt for unbuttered popcorn or ask what type of oil is used in the popcorn preparation process.

Vegan Candy has become increasingly more available in movie theaters across the country. Vegan candy options now include Starburst, Twizzlers, Airheads, Sour Patch Kids, Skittles and more. Always be sure to check the ingredients list on any candy you buy as some brands may contain animal by-products.

Nuts are a great vegan friendly snack at the movies and there are plenty of options. Your local theater may offer almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts and other nut varieties in individual packages or large buckets.

Red Vines, which are made from wheat flour, corn syrup, citric acid and artificial flavors (among other ingredients), are considered vegan-friendly. Red Vines come in several different flavors so you can choose your favorite one to enjoy while watching a movie.

Conclusion:
With a little bit of careful research you can find plenty of delicious vegan snacks to enjoy at the movies! Popcorn with no buttery topping, vegan candy, nuts and Red Vines make great snacks for vegans looking for something to munch on while watching their favorite films.
