Movie night is a snacking event, and it's where a lot of good intentions quietly dissolve into a sea of chips and candy. Here's how to build a spread that feels indulgent and still fits your goals.

The salty crunch

Every spread needs something to reach for by the handful. Swap the usual chips for Nacho Chips (20g protein) or Popped Chips — same satisfying crunch, actual macros.

The sweet hit

For the candy craving, Flex Gummies give you something fruity to graze on, and a Flex Brick covers the chocolate-bar urge.

The main event: frozen dessert

No movie night is complete without ice cream. A Flex Frozen Dessert pint — 28g protein, 0g added sugar — is the centerpiece. Our "Movie Night" flavor was practically made for the occasion.

Round it out

Add some fresh fruit and a big glass of water (or a FlexBev for something fizzy), and you've got a spread that hits every craving without the next-day regret.

Press play. Snack happy.
