Top 25 Healthy Super Bowl Snacks & Guilt-Free Desserts

Posted February 4, 2016

The Super Bowl is just a few days away, and even if you’re not interested in watching the big game, you might be interested in the huge spread of snacks that are bound to be at every Super Bowl viewing party. The classic grub is full of sugar, salt, and overly processed ingredients. Cook up one of these delicious, party-worthy snacks (and maybe a sweet treat or two) to bring to your event! They’re so tasty, no one will even know that they’re nutritious and full of whole-food ingredients.

1. Baked Sweet Potato Fries and Hummus

I think that the colors and simplicity of the roasted sweet potato and purple carrots, and hummus makes this photo by @juutlovesfood so stunning! ?Tag your pics with #heresmyfood and @food and follow for a chance to be featured! #food #colorsoffood #carrots #hummus #sweetpotatoes #pirplecarrots #eatcolorfully

2. Vegan Nachos

I love Nachos!? A Quick and Easy and Oh So Tasty vegan nacho recipe. I felt like naughty nachos so I used corn chips, but for a healthier alternative, cut up triangles of wholemeal flat bread/mountain bread and toast in the oven until light and crispy. Topping: Salsa, diced red onion, diced tomato (remove seeds), red kidney beans tossed lightly on a frypan with taco seasoning mix adding a small amount of water for a thick sauciness (no oil needed!), sliced black olives (optional), coriander and vegan cheese. Guacamole: Avocado, lemon juice, lime juice and sea salt. #quickmeal #whatveganseat #veganfood #noms #nachos #vegannachos #guacamole

3. Cauliflower Hot Wings

I can’t wait to try these Cauliflower Hot Wings! What a great Healthy SUPERBOWL Munchie! About 2 cups of cauliflower, washed and broken up into small florets 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup of Frank’s Redhot Wings sauce Preheat oven to 425. Place cauliflower in a bowl with a lid. Add olive oil and shake to distribute evenly. Combine dry ingredients, and then sprinkle over the cauliflower. Shake again to make sure all pieces are coated evenly. Spread cauliflower out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Pour wing sauce over baked cauliflower and let stand 5 minutes. While you are waiting the 5 minutes, make the greek yogurt dip below. Greek Yogurt Dip, With Feta Cheese Crumbles 1/4 cup Greek plain nonfat yogurt 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise 1 tablespoon reduced fat feta cheese crumbles Pinch of salt 1/8 tsp ground black pepper 1/8 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp onion powder 1/8 tsp dried parsley flakes 1/8 tsp dried chives 1 tsp dill pickle “juice” from the pickle jar This recipe is for two people & counts for 2 greens, 2 fats and 2 condiments per serving, when served with the dipping sauce. #healthysuperbowl #veggiefun #missionhealthpossible #healthcoach #partyfood #healthyanddelicious
