When I go to the movies I bring my own popcorn that I pop at home and spritz some Bragg soy seasoning sauce on.
2-3 cups of popcorn is a good serving size for me.

One of my favourite sprouted grain breads
Use 1-2 slices to have with PB and jelly or with 1 can of tuna, or use it to make french toast. Your options are endless!
