Healthy Super Bowl Party Swaps

January 31, 2020 by nadia.payne

Whether you are a big football fan or just there to watch the commercials here are some tips to tackle a healthy Super Bowl party.

Instead of calorie heavy chips and queso…swap it out for more veggies and whole grain crackers using these recipes:  Black Bean and Corn Salsa / Cucumber Salsa

Chips and dip are a staple to any Super Bowl party, but can often times be high in sodium. Substitute traditional salsa with a homemade option! Both are nutritious options that can add some color and flavor to your party!

Instead of ordering the same old pizza save money and calories by wowing fans with these options. The Chicken BBQ Pizza is great for portion control and is a fun alternative. The MyPlate Pizza allows for variety in the healthy toppings you can choose and all football fans young and old will enjoy creating their own pizzas.

Keep the dessert option simple by making the Waldorf Apple Salad head of the game saving time and calories.
