1. Be mindful of portion sizes. You don't have to completely avoid the chips and dips, but standing by the bowl grazing on chips will do some serious damage. Instead grab a plate and count out your portion of chips. Each chip is about 10 calories, a serving is about 14 chips.
2. Lighten up your dips. Switch out the sour cream in your favorite dip for fat-free Greek Yogurt. You will cut the calories from 60 per 2 tbs for the sour cream to just 16 calories in the yogurt.
3. Try our Goat Cheese stuffed Jalapeño Poppers. Less than half the calories than the breaded and fried variety and so tasty!
4. Drink lots of water. It's sound advice any day but water helps fill you up and keeps you hydrated when you are drinking alcohol. It also helps prevent the Monday morning hangover you may get from drowning your sorrows or celebrating your teams success.
5. Serve some veggies. Give yourself and your guests something else to dip. If you are going to mindlessly snack while you watch your teams fantastic season swirl down the toilet in the final quarter, do it on something that won't make you feel worse the next day.
6. Serve Brownies! Seriously. Try these brownies. They are delightfully fudgie and gluten free!
7. Crockpot your Chicken Wings. We've been making these Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings for years. They are so easy to make, stay hot all through the party and are fall off the bone delish. You are saving yourself added fat, and trouble, by not throwing them in the deep fryer.
These simple hints and recipes will help you stay on track and no one will know you've switched out these Superbowl standards with healthier options.
