- comments
The annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), a highly anticipated sports event in the country, is coming this weekend. For those who opt to spend the Super Bowl Weekend at home with a mini gathering for family and friends, here are 7 guilt-free snacks you can serve to your guests.
1.) Lemon-drop chicken wings
Chicken wings are pretty much a staple during the game and while it is lower in calories than pork, how you prepare it can often pack on a lot of extra calories. This vodka-infused chicken wing dish is taken from My Recipes. One batch of this will make eight servings and instead of being fried, it is baked so it is undeniably healthier. It's also easy to prepare and make so it is perfect for last-minute dishes or refills.
2.) Fruit skewers with honeyed yogurt dip
While meat is almost always customary during game day, it is a good idea to balance it out with fruits. This recipe from Skinny Taste is versatile as you can use any kinds of fruit that is in season so the more colorful, the better. The simple dip is made only with Greek yogurt and honey.
3.) Cornmeal parmesan crusted salmon fingers
It is a great idea to serve mostly finger foods when entertaining a lot of guests. For those who loathe the idea of serving store-bought chips and greasy finger foods, try this baked finger food recipe from Honey and Figs Kitchen.
4.) No-bake brownies with avocado frosting
While you may have heard of no-bake brownies, we're willing to bet you haven't had chocolate brownies with avocado frosting. This recipe from Oprah is fuss-free and easy to make, plus you don't have to worry about baking it. It's gluten-free as well.
5.) Kale chips
Instead of having guests munch on sodium-loaded chips, try giving them a healthier alternative like kale chips. This recipe from Pop Sugar is light and crispy. Your guests will also receive numerous vitamins and minerals like Iron, Calcium and vitamins A and C.
6.) Chips and broccamole
While guacamole is basically made with avocados, this recipe from Domestic Fits is made with broccoli. Avocados are healthy but broccoli has more vitamin C, low-calorie and low-fat. This is a great way to ease more nutrition to picky eaters as well.
7.) Lightened-up jalapeno popper dip
This delightful party dip from Ring Finger Tan Line is silent crowd pleaser. It is a light dish which still captures the original goodness of the normal popper dip. The ingredients that go into the dip are low-fat but it doesn't affect the creamy consistency we all now and love.
