Dice up your apples in small, bite size pieces so you can enjoy them as a good movie snack instead of popcorn or chips.
MORE INFORMATION:
I love popcorn and chips because you can "keep eating them" while watching a movie but mostly I love the crunch. So instead, I dice up an apple and have that with a movie. Just as satisfying and much better for you!

Thanks! You can try it with crunchy veggies too - I like carrots and celery. Or cherry tomatoes!

great idea...I love picking up small pieces of food and popping it into my mouth. I'll try this to replace my miniature candies!

Thanks, this is a great idea. I always find myself "wanting" when watching a movie.

Someone mentioned this. Apples were too tart and hard for me. I dice up, pour little honey, flaxseed, and cinnamon and microwave for 1 minute or so. Now I am eating my apple a day and hopefully keeping the doctor away.
