Just in time for Sunday’s big game, here are our picks for healthier Super Bowl Snacks – with a southwest twist, of course:
Mini Veggie “Ceviche” Tacos
Easily the prettiest dish to grace the Super Bowl, these one-bite vegetarian tacos bring some sunshine to this year’s potentially blustery game. Featuring the likes of roasted Poblano peppers, corn, red pepper, and hearts of palm, this light, veggie-filled snack tastes just as amazing as it looks—if not better.
Brie, Apple, and Arugula Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a total winner at any sports gathering, but they aren’t exactly guilt-free. We searched the Web for a fun combination of ‘dilla fillings and fell in love with this green and fruity combo. They’re easy to make, gooey, crispy and even have some greens and fruit tucked inside. We don’t have to tell you that an apple a day is a healthy choice!
Chipotle Chocolate Chili
This smoky chili gets it’s richness from a touch of unsweetened cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate. Don’t expect it to taste like chocolate fondue—the chili has got all the normal seasonings, beans, and ground turkey you’d expect, with the added bonus of cocoa powder (which studies suggest can lower blood pressure and regulate levels of the stress hormone cortisol).
