SUPER BOWL SNACKS 🏈
Fun & nourishing ideas to enjoy during the game
1. CHIPS & DIPS PLATTER
Serve tortilla chips + mini pepper scoops with:
– Cottage cheese queso dip (recipe)
– Protein guacamole (recipe)
– Bean dip
– Salsa
2. SUPERFOOD CHILI (recipe)
Great way to enjoy lots of veggies like peppers, onions, tomatoes, and kale. The protein comes from beans, with an option to add ground beef, turkey, or chicken.
3. BUFFALO CHICKEN PLATTER
This is an amazing chicken wing swap:
– Hot sauce grilled chicken strips (no breading)
– Blue cheese dip (mix Greek yogurt + blue cheese)
– Celery & carrot sticks
4. SLIDERS PLATTER
Little burgers are always a BIG hit:
– Lean beef, turkey, and/or bean burgers
– Lettuce, tomato, mustard, pickles
– Whole-grain buns
5. BLACK BEAN BROWNIES (recipe)
Delicious brownies made with oats and beans! And 3 times less sugar than traditional brownies.
6. APPLE NACHOS
Put sliced apples on a platter, drizzle with your favorite nut butter and melted dark chocolate, and top with a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Such a fun way to eat fruit!
7. POPCORN
When the game gets tense, popcorn is a great snack because it’s naturally whole-grain and perfect for crunching during stressful plays. I love air-popped popcorn tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Eat your snacks from a plate (instead of grazing) to help you slow down, feel satisfied, and truly ENJOY every bite.
Parties aren’t about eating perfectly; they’re about having fun, connecting with people, and enjoying the experience.
And remember, there’s always at least one fun way to ADD a little more nutrition to the spread. 😉
