A few choice words to describe most game day appetizer staples are: salty, greasy, and artificial. Just like you’d swap ingredients to make a healthier meal, swapping out a few of the worst snack offenders is easy and delicious.
Here are a handful of simple switches you can make come game time:
- Skip the super salty nacho chips – opt for whole grain, low sodium, or even veggie chips
- Pass on cheese dips – grab some nutrient-rich guacamole, creamy hummus, or fresh salsa
- Take it easy on the sour cream spreads – try protein-packed Greek yogurt, zest it up with garlic and herbs
- Avoid high sugar treats – make a colorful fruit platter and a yummy yogurt dip sweetened with a touch of honey
