Football season is in full swing and game day is on its way, but we know how easy it is to get caught up in the unhealthy snacks trap. Classic chicken wings, cheesy nachos, and carbonated sodas can leave you feeling sluggish and low-energy.
But don’t you worry, we’re here to help with a winning lineup of delicious and healthy game day snacks that will have you feeling like the MVP.
Veggies & Dip
Elevate your next game day party with a party platter featuring a rainbow of colorful vegetables arranged around flavorful hummus and healthy dips. This classic combo is the perfect play to keep your guests munching happily throughout the game. Fresh, crunchy veggies like carrots, celery, and cucumbers pair perfectly with protein-rich hummus, providing a satisfying crunch and a boost of fiber and vitamins like B for energy and C for immunity.
Keto Charcuterie Board
A keto-friendly charcuterie board is a great option for a healthy and satisfying game day snack! Packed with protein and healthy fats, and low in carbs, this snack is perfect for people who follow a ketogenic diet. Pair your favorite sliced meats such as pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, and deli turkey with a variety of cheeses, vegetables, and nuts. Brie, mozzarella, and parmesan pair well with kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and almonds!
Trail Mix
When the game gets intense, reach for a handful of trail mix to keep your energy levels high. This portable powerhouse of protein and healthy fats is packed with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, providing a sustained dose of energy that will keep you going until the final whistle.
Deviled Eggs
Give classic deviled eggs a healthy makeover by using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. This simple swap cuts down on calories and adds a boost of protein, making these deviled eggs a guilt-free indulgence.
Popcorn
Popcorn is a whole-grain snack that’s low in calories and fat, making it a perfect choice for game day. Avoid the butter-laden variety and opt for air-popped popcorn instead. Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a savory twist or a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness.
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Swap out traditional French fries for a healthier alternative – baked sweet potato fries. These crispy, golden fries are packed with beta-carotene, an antioxidant that promotes eye health and boosts the immune system. Pair them with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a delicious and nutritious treat.
Chips & Salsa
Chips and salsa are a game-day staple but why not opt for whole-wheat pita chips or veggie chips instead of the old-school tortilla chips? Pair them with a homemade salsa made with fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a touch of lime juice for a burst of flavor and a healthy dose of vitamins and antioxidants.
Fruit and Cheese Platter
Fruit and cheese are the perfect way to bring sweetness and savory together in perfect harmony. Pair slices of your favorite fruits with a variety of cheeses for a touchdown-worthy flavor explosion. It’s a refreshing break from the typical game day fare that will keep your guests coming back for more.
With these healthy game day snacks, your football party is guaranteed to be a flavor-filled touchdown celebration. So, gather your fellow fans, deck out your space in team colors, and get ready to indulge in these delicious and nutritious treats. Because when it comes to game day, it’s not just about the score on the field – it’s about the winning spread on your snack table!
