SUPER BOWL 50: Healthy Party Foods

Got your stats: On Super Bowl Sunday (SBS), Americans eat more food than on any single day of the year except Thanksgiving. SBS is also the biggest day of the year for snack food consumption. Given we hold more house parties on SBS than on any other day of the year, provides a major opportunity for us to improve the quality of what we’ll hog out on. Whether you’re throwing your own party or you’ve found another sucker, sorry, friend to have their carpets cleaned Mon, oops, to throw your shin-dig, you do have options.

BRONCOS VS PANTHERS You VS Food!

Rather than gain 10 pounds in an afternoon, see our list of RRRs (Rotten Recipe Revamps) of traditional Super Bowl recipes to enjoy and share with friends. Even if surrounded by an endless buffet of crummy choices, remembering you brought something healthy-ISH to indulge on will help you sideline another team’s caloric offense. As always these recipes are actually nutritious, and low fat, (several fat free!), low carb and gluten free, low sodium, and created without refined sugar or preservatives. Additionally, many of these recipes are already paleo or vegetarian or can be easily made vegetarian or dairy free.

Have your caloric catharsis now, not the Monday after SBS. NOW!
