5 Tips for Navigating the Super Bowl Snack Table

by

Football on green fieldThe Super Bowl is a great time to be with friends and family.   No matter what team you are cheering for!  Whether you come for the food, commercials, or the game; trying to navigate the snacks or food table at a party can seem a little intimidating if you are trying to follow a healthy eating pattern.   Here are 5 tips to help you win on Sunday!

 

  1. Bring something healthy to the party
    • Super Bowl parties are full of different size portions and types of snacks. It can be hard knowing which option might be a healthy pick.  Try preparing and bringing your own healthy snack.  Our Black Bean and Spinach Quesadillas make a great party snack.
  2. Count your mini snacks
    • Mini sized snacks are great as pre-portioned versions of their larger counterparts. However stacking up on mini portions doesn’t mean mini calories. Follow tip 3 below on how to make your plate a healthy win!
  3. Pick the right plate
    • The table is set, the food is out, and the plates are large! When filling your plate for a snack, choose a smaller plate like a salad plate.  Remember to make your plate just like MyPlate.
  4. Vary the foods you choose
    • Try not to fill your plate with one snack. Just as with any meal, be sure to choose a variety of nutrient-dense foods across all food groups.   A healthy plate includes fruits, vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy, and whole grains.
  5. Stay hydrated with water or unsweetened beverages
    • Try to lessen the amount of sweetened beverages you choose. Opt for unsweetened tea or make your refills water.
