There’s nothing like family movie nights for spending quality time together. Who doesn’t like a spot of Netflix and chill?
But when you’re trying to keep the family healthy (or following a diet yourself), the idea of everyone snacking instead of eating a proper meal (not to mention the kids bouncing off the walls full of sugar) starts to ring alarm bells. You can hardly sit still to finish the movie; there’s so much energy in the room!
Is it possible to make guilt-free versions of everyone’s favorite movie night snacks? View our recipes here.
How to make delicious guilt-free desserts that are tasty and sugar-free
At Simply Delish, we believe that healthy doesn’t need to be bland or tasteless and that fun snacks and treats should be able to be shared with everyone – no matter what food sensitivities or health restrictions they live with.
Our competition lacks the health certifications that we stand proudly by, and we are proud to say our entire range is certified as vegan, NON-GMO, allergen free, kosher, Ketogenic Certified, and Halal – as well as being completely sugar-free and suitable for people with diabetes!
With no more worrying about who can and can’t eat from which trays, kids’ birthday parties and family gatherings become a breeze and the only thing you need to argue over on family movie night is what genre to watch! Romcom or Sci-Fi, anyone?
Once you’ve made up your mind, you can concentrate on making delicious desserts and snacks without worrying about what goes into them or who’s taking a bite.

But the fun doesn’t end there… With our vast range of delicious recipes for healthy snacks and desserts, you’ll be able to delight the whole family without worrying about harmful additives, excessive sugar, allergies, intolerances, or anything else that could get in the way of a harmonious (and tasty!) movie night.
