Put a Healthy Spin on Game Day

Game day favorites don’t have to be all-or-nothing. With a few simple ingredient
swaps and creative twists, you can serve a spread that’s just as satisfying while adding more protein, vegetables and wholesome ingredients to the menu.

Make Healthy Swaps Like a Pro

Creamy dips, potato salads and sandwich spreads can all get a lighter makeover with one simple ingredient: plain Greek yogurt. Swap it in for mayonnaise or sour cream to create the same rich, tangy texture while adding protein and beneficial probiotics. For burgers, sliders and meatballs, consider using lean ground turkey in place of ground beef for a flavorful option that’s lower in saturated fat.

Delicious Plant-Based Plays

Jalapeño Poppers:

Spicy, cheesy and always a crowd favorite, jalapeño poppers are made for game day. Bake instead of fry for a lighter take that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Serve with ranch, salsa or guacamole for dipping.

Baked Cauliflower Wings:

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, cauliflower makes a delicious plant-based alternative to traditional wings. Coat the florets in your favorite buffalo or sweet chili sauce for a snack that’s sure to disappear before halftime.

Sweet Potato Nachos:

Swap tortilla chips for roasted sweet potato rounds to give nachos a colorful, nutrient-packed foundation. Top with black beans, guacamole, corn, fresh salsa and your favorite garnishes for a hearty appetizer that’s every bit as satisfying as the original.
