• Superbowl Veggies!

  Filed under Healthy Eating, Veggies

  The playoffs are over and now we know who is going to the Super Bowl. Give me a WHO DAT!! Our big question now is what are we serving at the Super Bowl party?! Finger foods and appetizers are inevitable, but making sure they’re effective for losing or maintaining weight is something that has to be planned. Whether the party is at your house or you’ll be watching at someone else’s house, be sure to take a healthy appetizer that you can share with the group. And always follow the standard strategy of eating something filling and healthy before the party starts, like a protein shake or a healthy soup.

   

  Dips and salsas are great as appetizers, but processed chips and crackers are loaded with calories that can add up very quickly. Fill up on high-volume, low-calorie veggies and be sure you’re dipping into your favorite low-cal dip. Try a Mango Black Bean Salsa or make your own hummus for healthy snacking.

   

  Here are some "chip" ideas to use for dipping:

  • Jicama
  • Bell Pepper
  • Cucumber
  • Celery
  • Carrots (try slicing them as chips)
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Potatoes (baked or microwaved as chips)
  • Zucchini
  • Yellow squash
  • Asparagus
  • Snow peas
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Radishes

   

  Who will you be cheering for in the Super Bowl?? And what’s your favorite healthy dip & “chip” combo??
