Going to the movies can be a fun and exciting experience, but sometimes it can be difficult to find snacks that are vegan friendly. Fortunately, many movie theater chains now offer vegan-friendly options for those looking for a plant-based snack. From popcorn to hot dogs and beyond, here is a look at what movie theater food is vegan.
Popcorn
Popcorn is a classic movie theater snack that is surprisingly easy to make vegan. Most movie theater popcorn recipes involve only oil, salt and corn kernels with no animal products added. Just make sure to double check with your local theater as some may add butter or other dairy products in their popcorn. If they do not have a vegan version, ask if they have an oil-only option.
Nachos
Nachos are another popular movie theater food that can easily be made vegan-friendly.
Look for nachos made with either a vegan cheese or dairy-free cheese alternative such as Daiya or Follow Your Heart. Some theaters may even offer pre-made nacho platters with vegan toppings such as black beans, jalapenos, onions and salsa.
Hot Dogs
Hot dogs are another classic movie snack that can easily be made vegan friendly. Many theaters now offer veggie dogs or veggie burgers as an alternative to traditional meat hot dogs. These options are typically made from plant proteins such as soy or wheat gluten and are free from animal products.
Other Options
In addition to the aforementioned snacks, many theaters now offer other vegan-friendly options such as pretzels, chips and candy bars. Most of these snacks are typically labeled as being “vegan friendly” or “dairy free” so they should be easy to spot on the menu boards.
Conclusion:
Going out for a night at the movies doesn’t have to mean compromising on your dietary preferences. With more and more movie theaters offering vegan options it has never been easier to find snacks that fit within your lifestyle while still enjoying the experience of going out to the movies.
