10 Super Bowl Snacks Under 500 Calories

Is Super Bowl Sunday a recognized holiday in your household? 

I can tell you that it starting NOW it definitely is in my house! Especially as my husband is a former professional athlete himself. He played rugby professionally for 15 years.

We’re that family that loves to have people come around (my husband loves it!) My favorite part about having everyone over is the chance to come up with new healthy and fun game-day recipes to serve while we watch the game.

Game-day food usually ends up being so greasy and so.full.of.calories. But when you’re in charge of the menu, you get to dictate what’s served! I always take this as a chance to put a calorie-friendly spin on game-day classics like nachos and beer (one of my favorites when watching football!).

My tip for keeping game-day a bit healthier? When you put dips out, cut up fresh veggies to go along with the chips and crackers. Having fresh veggies to dip gives you a break from the saltiness of chips and keeps you feeling less bloated. It’s a win-win! You can even buy pre-cut veggies from the store to make your life a bit easier.

Let’s get to the good stuff! I wanted to share my go-to game-day recipes to mix it up in your house this Super bowl season.

🏈It’s time to get this party started with my 10 favorite Super Bowl Snacks under 500 Calories🏈
