Super Bowl Sunday: Kick the junk food habit
This weekend hosts the much anticipated Super Bowl Sunday. Whether you’re a Saints or Colt fan, everyone can agree that putting on some post-Super Bowl fat is never a fun thing. Swide offers some healthy alternatives to the usual hot dogs and pizza.
Hummus Dip
Our first is pick is the beloved hummus dip. Hummus is made from pureed chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. The number of calories depends on whether you how much oil you pour or omit. The recipe we share only contains lemon juice, so dip freely.
Organic Popcorn
Superstars like Rihanna and the Black Eyed Peas are scheduled to be some of the many talented acts to bless the stage at this year’s Super Bowl half-time show. Millions of viewers at home will be glued to their television with a bowl of popcorn while waiting in anticipation. We suggest indulging yourself in a bowl of organic popcorn. Check out this easy at home recipe.
Mini Turkey Burgers with Gorgonzola
If the hummus and pop corn doesn’t quite fill you up, try these adorable mini turkey burgers. They may be small in size, but they’re packed with proteins. The trick to not fighting the bulge is to eat fattening foods in small portions.
Zucchini Fries
With half the calories of French fries, zucchini fries seem to have just scored a touchdown.Check out the easy at home recipe.
Vegetarian Chili
Last on our list of Super Bowl snack suggestions is the high in fiber, vegetarian chili.We must warn that this option may pose dangerous to those fans who sporadically jump off the couch when watching a game. Perhaps enjoying a bowl of chili as a post-game meal would be best.
With all the healthy snack suggestions provided, we can only hope that fans end this Superbowl season in the same health as they started. But for those who wish to stay loyal to your beloved junk food, your devotion won’t become disregarded. In fact, Doritos offers to pay $5 million to the three best consumer-made Doritos commercials.
Just for kicks, check out this video from one of the top 6 finalists:
