These Healthier Super Bowl Recipes Won't Leave You Feeling Sacked
If one of your New Year's resolutions is to eat healthier, then the first big challenge of the year is very likely going to be in early February (this year on the 7th) when the Super Bowl airs. That's when all the fried, cheesy finger foods come out of the woodwork to tempt everyone into giving up on their dietary plans.
Fear not! We've rounded up our favorite healthy Super Bowl recipes—the ones with all the comfort-food goodness but without a lot of the excess fat, carbs, salt, and calories to weigh you down. Whether you’re looking for an entirely healthy feast, or just a few lighter additions to your usual spread, this list has everything you need. Stick to the classics with several buffalo-inspired dishes, including baked buffalo chicken cups and buffalo cauliflower bites.
You won’t have to sacrifice your glorious array of dip recipes either, because this list includes many. There’s a healthy spinach and artichoke dip for a light spin on a favorite, an Elote dip that turns Mexican street corn into an easy snack, or a spicy Sriracha sauce to accompany crispy baked green beans. Plus, there are several salsa and guac ideas that will make for tons of dipping options. Clearly, your Super Bowl recipes won’t be in jeopardy this year by trying to eat a little healthier. You truly don’t even have to tell your guests that you’re serving up healthy Super Bowl recipes, because they won’t even notice! And if you're having more nutritious snacks and mains, does that mean you can splurge a little more with your Super Bowl desserts? Asking for a friend...
