10 Healthy Apps for Super Bowl Sunday
Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner and you know what that means…. beer, chips, wings, and a whole lotta chips to challenge your resolve to eat healthier this year. But you can still be the hostess with the mostest without throwing your new healthy habits to the wind! Check out this list of snacks and apps that pack a ton of flavor without any guilt!
Organic tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole. Most corn in the United States has been genetically modified, so choose organic tortilla chips whenever possible. Or, try Siete’s grain-free tortilla chips! Stick to salsa (look for kind without added sugar) and guac and skip the other dips.
Fresh veggies with hummus. Serve cucumber, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, jicama, baby carrots, and/ or baby tomatoes on a large tray. Buy a couple of different flavors of hummus for variety (I like Hope hummus)! If you’re craving Ranch dressing, try Primal Kitchen’s Ranch.
Nuts. Place small bowls of salt-and-pepper pistachios, peanuts, or lightly salted almonds out for healthy “nibble” snacks. Just keep an eye on portion sizes and try to stick to one small handful.
Salsa chicken. This is by far the easiest and maybe the yummiest chicken you’ll ever make. Simply add 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) and 2 cups of salsa to your slow cooker, season with some extra salt and pepper, and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours (or high for 4 hours). When it’s done, shred the chicken with a fork and serve!
Fruit. Set out grapes, apple slices, or berries for easy nibbling. Feeling fancy? Make dark chocolate covered strawberries and decorate them to look like footballs (see this recipe for an example).
Popcorn. I am slightly obsessed with my silicone popcorn popper, but for good reason! Microwaveable popcorn is loaded with salt, processed oils, and other chemicals. And the stovetop kind involves dishes and can lead to adding copious amounts of oil. Instead, I like to pop my corn in an air-popper or silicone popper and flavor it with olive oil and sea salt. Tip: I like to use my Misto oil sprayer for a nice, even coat!
Shrimp cocktail. Grab some seasoned peel-and-eat shrimp or just do plain shrimp with cocktail sauce for a super simple and healthy appetizer.
If you’re feeling creative and want to try some new recipes, I’ve compiled a few that look fairly simple and healthy!
There ya have it! Your healthy Super Bowl menu all planned out :) Let me know which ones you tried and loved in the comments!
