The Super Bowl is right around the corner, and we might even get a rematch of the classic New York Giants-New England Patriots Super Bowl (we like the Giants!).
Super Bowl parties have become an American tradition, almost as important as picnics on the Fourth of July. We all love these parties, and we love gorging on the food. Many also love throwing these parties and coming up with cool dishes for everyone to feast on.
That said, for some people, healthy food needs to be an option for the big party. In many families, there are people battling obesity or conditions like diabetes, so this is no laughing matter. At the very least, every party should have some healthy options. But if you’re planning on making most dishes healthier, here’s a handy checklist of ideas.
Many are obvious, but small things can go a long way. Diet pop is a must, but think about juices or maybe iced green tea as an option. Pretzels over chips is another simple change that won’t offend anyone. Also, it’s easy to go with multigrain bread for the sandwiches.
Try to go with fruits and vegetables. There are so many cool appetizers you can make that are delicious and creative that are also low in fat and calories.
Many people love meat, but you don’t have to eliminate it go go healthier. Avoid sodium heavy lunch meats and high fat cuts, and instead pick some lean meats. Grilled chicken is always a popular option. Think of spices like hot sauce that aren’t high in salt as well.
With very little effort, you can make your party spread healthier and more delicious. With everyone trying to lose weight and trying to check the pharmacy in Canada for the latest diet pills, your guests will definitely appreciate a delicious yet healthy set of dishes for your party.
