There is nothing less healthy than salted butter wrapped in bacon and deep fried in a thick beer batter.
Buffalo chicken dip is a staple at most Super Bowl parties. It is also one of the least healthy snacks. So how can we send it over the top? Double the cheese, add scrapple and serve it with our own grease-soaked salty tortilla chips. Scrapple makes everything better. Ask God when you meet him after gorging on this. He'll agree.
The wings. The beer. The bacon wrapped beer-battered deep fried cheese. The horror. By the end of the game you'll feel more PSI bloating than any of New England's footballs. But does it have to be this way? Whether you're hosting a Super Bowl party or crashing one (and bringing a plate of course). Here are some healthy alternatives to the standard greasy glory. If you munch on these instead of the buffalo chicken dip you might even get up extra early Monday morning and hit the gym before work. Or not. Either way, enjoy.
Veggie spring rolls are an excellent snack. These are vegan as well as gluten-free (be mindful of what dipping sauce you use). They’re also a great way to clear out the crisper drawer in your fridge.
Served with chips or crudités, hummus is celebrated for its silky consistency and exotic flavor.
