We are just a couple days away from Super Bowl 50! I am sure most of you have your plans lined up, whether you will be watching the game or taking the opportunity to socialize with friends on a Sunday night. As with any social gathering, delicious (and healthy} food is an essential part. I want to take this time to share with you one of my favorite dips. It has protein, healthy fats, and fiber. What more could we ask for?
And before you dig in, here are few reminders to keep you from overindulging on all the tempting treats.
- Have a nutrient dense snack prior to heading to the party. For example, apple with peanut butter or yogurt with granola.
- Drink water at the party, or limit the amount of calorie containing beverages you drink.
- When you’re hungry, grab a plate and start by filling half with vegetables. Limit the mindless snacking at the food table.
- Make sure to exercise during the day. The game doesn’t start until 6:30 p.m., so you have plenty of time!
- Bring a healthy appetizer. It’s fun to share with friends, plus you know there will be at least one safe food.
