Healthy Game Day Snacks Collage

It’s almost time to start making super bowl snacks! Or maybe you’re just looking for some healthy appetizers for the next game day weekend.

Appetizers could be their own meal!

Traditionally, appetizers can be fried and greasy, but they don’t have to be.

These healthy appetizer recipes are baked and lightened up. You can enjoy game day snacking with your family (and maybe someday, friends) and still fuel your body.

We’ve got the best dips, wings, potatoes, and vegetarian recipes. Plus tips to enjoy your next game day without being in the kitchen all day!

Game Day Snacking Tips

1. Diversify Your Menu – Plan your menu to include a variety of options. Choose some easy appetizers that you can prep ahead of time and have ready in the fridge. Dips are great for this!

Also, by choosing a dip and a wing options, you can sneak in the veggies and protein, which will keep your from crashing later

2. Make it Easier – When you are choosing your menu be sure to choose recipes that you can whip together and let them cook in the crock pot or instant pot. This will help you not feel rushed at the last minute or from having to fit everything into your oven at once.

3. Combine Prep – If you’re prepping a few recipes that include chicken, you can cook it ahead in the slow cooker or get a store bought rotisserie chicken to help some save time.

Dip Recipes

Is there anyone who doesn’t love a delicious dip? I think not! Grab your veggies and favorite tortilla chips to start snacking on these healthier dip options.

Seriously Addicting Avocado Feta Dip
