Healthy Appetizers: Make it easy on yourself and healthy on others by cutting up fresh veggies and serving with a healthy dip such as hummus. Another option is fruit! Make fruit kabobs on party toothpicks or skewers. This makes them easy to pick-up, an attractive option, and a great way to increase intake of important nutrients!- Go Ahead and Get the Chips: Don’t forego the chips and guacamole, but make it a healthy option by bringing whole grain tortilla chips to go with heart healthy guacamole. Want to control portions on the guacamole? Serve it in individual soufflé cups with lids (makes it easy for transport as well).
- Do a Salad Swap: Instead of taking a green salad which may result in a high fat creamy dressing on top, choose a grain based salad such as quinoa. Add low fat veggies such as tomatoes, corn, and black beans; finish off with lime juice and chopped cilantro!
