Healthy Bowls for the Super Bowl
Are sport fans ready yet? Super Bowl is here. Super Bowl-mania is an icon of the American culture. Not only in United States, in many other parts of the globe the Super Bowl is being watched. It is a time to get together, involving big screen TVs, sports bars, friends, family and snacks among many other things. Speaking of food, what a better way to enjoy the game with delicious and healthy snacks for all the fun! When at home; here we go with some nutritious and delicious snacks that are easy to prepare for all of us from children to adults.
- Baked tortilla chips: Cut corn tortillas into 4 pieces, sprinkle with cumin, bake them and enjoy them with blenderized beans topped with low-fat shredded cheese.
- Do not forget the king of the south -avocado- for the spicy guacamole, it is a must to have for the Super Bowl.Get plenty of guacamole because one never gets enough of it. Make your own veggie pizza with low fat cheese; bake the chicken wings, instead of deep frying.
- Hummus is another favorite as a dip for baked tortilla chips.
- For something sweet: prepare a bowl of jicama sticks with a dip made with low-fat yogurt and your favorite fruit.
In this way, even if we spend longer than 2 hours sitting and watching the game, we maintain our goals of eating healthier throughout. In good health!
