25 Easy Healthy Super Bowl Party Food Ideas

I just read a fascinating Wall Street Journal article about how healthy foods are making a marketing push for inclusion in the Super Bowl Eating Frenzy.

Did you know that Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest eating occasion after Thanksgiving?

According to NPD Group, a New York market research firm, on Sunday Americans will eat 100 million pounds of chicken wings, 71.4 million pounds of avocados, 45. 8 million pounds of potato chips, 43.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, 13. 2 million pounds of pretzels, and order more than 4.4 million pizzas from Domino’s, Papa Johns and Pizza Hut.

Can you even begin to fathom how many Weight Watchers Points that is????

Several healthy foods – baby carrots, yogurt, avocados, and whole grain pretzels – are showing up more in the Super Bowl Party food fest. That’s good news both for the producers of these healthy foods and for those of us trying to get (or stay) slim and healthy!

If you’re planning to have attend a Super Bowl Party this weekend, one of the best things you can do, is bring along a healthy superbowl recipe to share. That way you are guaranteed of feeling good about at least one of the foods you eat! (Here are more helpful game day survival strategies for weight watchers.)

So, here’s a roundup of easy healthy superbowl  recipes for you, including appetizers and snacks, soups and chilis, pizza and desserts. Enjoy!

Easy Healthy Super Bowl Party Food Ideas

Appetizers and Snacks

Appetizers and snacks are a big part of most Super Bowl parties.

I like to keep appetizers and snacks simple. Complicated hors d’oeuvres are not my thing. Bowls of mixed nuts, baby carrots, ripe cherry tomatoes, potato chips, pretzels, tortilla chips, popcorn, Triscuits, smoked salmon and shrimp cocktail dip are my more my speed.

Add a tasty easy healthy dip or two and you have a ready made party with minimal effort.
