DIY Movies in the Park Complete With P3 Snacks
An Easy DIY Movies in the park date idea and our favorite high-protein easy snacks to enjoy with it. P3 Snacks details with where to buy them and our honest thoughts.
Sometimes you just need to enjoy the spring weather and spend some time with your significant other. It’s even better to do that with a free date, and some great snacks!
I’ve opened up about struggles with PCOS and Insulin Resistance, and so I’m always on the lookout for snacks with lots of protein, low sugar, and low carbs. After having some sugar at work I knew I needed a more nutritious snack. We swung by Walmart and went to the lunch meat section in search of some protein options to enjoy instead of candy.
P3 Snacks
We walked out with four P3 Portable Protein Packs, by Oscar Mayer. They are these new awesome snacks with lunch meat, cheese, and nuts. 160 calories and a 13 grams of protein later I was sold- something I can eat that’s easy and cheap! Check these out, not only are they great, but seriously affordable too and hello- #PortableProtein, #MeatCheeseNuts, of course I’m sold!
But not before we grabbed our latest movie purchase that we can’t get enough of!
DIY Movies in the Park
Our area does offer Movies in the Park in a couple locations. However, finding an open night and a movie we want to watch can often be a challenge. We’ve been craving a date watching a movie in the park since the weather has been perfect in Phoenix for a while, but it just hasn’t happened. We decided to take matters into our own hands and have a DIY Movies in the Park night involving a laptop and our local park. It’s easy- blanket + snacks + laptop with movie and you have a totally free, totally perfect spring date!
And I mentioned there was food right? Because if Elf has taught us anything it’s that a date is eating food together- “real food, not candy”. And P3 Snacks definitely count as real food!
And sometimes I’d just rather look at this boy than the camera. Mission accomplished.
I have no idea why watching a movie on a laptop in a cool location is infinitely better than watching it on a larger screen from your couch- but trust me, it just is!
And snuggling while watching the sunset, we’re good with that too!

This idea is too cute. I live on Southern California, so most days of the year are suitable for this date night- I also like how you cut out the traditional movie sweets with protein! #client
You two are adorable. This is a delightful idea and it looks like you really enjoyed your date night. And you had a perfect snack to munch while watching your movie.
What a great idea! The portable snacks make planning a date like this easy.
What a great idea to watch a movie in the park. I love those P3's too!
FUN idea! And I am adding those snack packs to my grocery list! Thanks for introducing me to them!
Awww that is so neat. I would love some nice moments like that with a convenienthealthy snack.
Awww that is so sweet having the movies in the park date! I am going to have to borrow this and do it with my Hubby as soon as we have some warm enough weather. Love having the P3 to munch on too!
It was so fun, and easy to change snacks with an awesome ready-to-use pack!
Thanks so much Patty! It really was fun- and the snacks were great!
They definitely did- it was a lot of fun!
Aren't they great? I think they'll be on my shopping list from now on!
You bet! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
It was easy to do and free- I hope you have a nice moment in your near future 🙂
Please do! Where are you located? I hope warm weather isn't too far out for you 🙂
Your outfit is awesome, and so are these snacks. I am always looking for filling snacks that I can actually eat. Must investigate…
Love it! Perfect for a picnic in the park!!! #client
Love this idea but I doubt my lap top battery would ever hold on that long! I love P3 I had weight loss surgery this year and they are the perfect lunch for me to take to work!
