Super Bowl Game Plan

The Super Bowl is almost here which means crowding around the TV, cheering/screaming obscenities and munching on your favorite finger-foods.  This year, create your own Super Bowl Game Plan by coming prepared with healthy alternatives to the high fat, high sodium foods that have become staples of the Sunday event. It's no secret that cheering for your favorite team does not burn enough calories to compensate for the gluttonous spread that you are likely to face.

Here are some better options-

Baked tortilla chips and salsa or guacamole (I like "Wholly Guacamole")

Pirates Booty

Create your own snack mix-

94% fat free popcorn + pretzels + chex cereal + peanuts + dried fruit = guilt free deliciousness

Fruit platter with fat free cool whip dip

Veggie platter with hummus or light ranch dressing

Baked/grilled chicken wings (seasoned or lightly brushed with your favorite sauce)

Turkey burger BBQ sliders (with lowfat cheese on mini wheat buns)

Baked sweet potato fries (tossed in olive oil and seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, oregano and basil)

Chocolate mousse (fat free pudding + fat free cool whip) served with fresh strawberries

Fruit and yogurt parfait (layers of lowfat pudding, fat free cool whip and fresh berries)
