\"7-Healthier-Super-Bowl-Appetizers\"<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re tuning in for the football or the commercials, odds are good that you\u2019re going to want some championship-worthy snacks for your Super Bowl party. But fueling up on cheesy dips and greasy grub will leave you feeling like your stomach\u2019s as packed as the MetLife Stadium. According to the Calorie Control Council, a typical Super Bowl snack session \u2014 including pizza, nachos, chips and soda \u2014 can rack up more than 2,000 calories and 81 grams of fat<\/a> per person. Time for a new game plan! This year, try your hand at one of these appetizers that put a healthy spin on game day favorites.<\/p>\n

1. <\/b>Healthy Five-Layer Dip
\n<\/a><\/b>A zesty blend of spices and subtle heat give this supersized dip plenty of flavor. Nobody will even notice that you\u2019ve substituted black beans for refried beans, or Greek yogurt for sour cream. Invite a crowd and get dipping!<\/p>\n

\"Sweet

2. <\/b>Sweet Potato Fries and Avocado Dip
\n<\/a><\/b>Tofu and avocado come together brilliantly for a vegan and gluten-free dip that just won\u2019t quit. Pair it with homemade sweet potato fries, rich in iron, magnesium and vitamins A and C. Potato, po-tah-to, there\u2019s no arguing this appetizer will bring home a win.<\/p>\n

3. <\/b>Vegan Artichoke Dip<\/a><\/b>
\nGet a healthy serving of fiber in this appetizer that\u2019s packed with antioxidant-rich artichokes and creamy white beans. This recipe has half the fat and double the fiber of your average artichoke dip<\/a>. Step up the flavor by adding garlic and lemon.<\/p>\n

4. <\/b>Homemade Hummus with Olives
\n<\/a><\/b>Kickoff approaching and no time to cook? It\u2019s easy to whip up this Middle Eastern-inspired dish in a pinch. Peel your chickpeas if you want smoother hummus, or skip the extra prep and tune right in.<\/p>\n

\"Chicken

5. <\/b>Chicken Satay and Peanut Sauce
\n<\/a><\/b>Guilt-free skewers with a savory sauce will please kids and adults alike. The peanut dip gets its creamy texture from coconut milk \u2014 no heavy cream or dairy required!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/b>Replace bar peanuts or potato chips with this finger-friendly snack that\u2019s low in fat. The fiber and protein in chickpeas will keep you satisfied through halftime, so you won\u2019t be reaching for extra snacks during every commercial.<\/p>\n

\"Popcorn

7. <\/b>Coconut Curry Popcorn Balls
\n<\/a><\/b>Talk about a triple threat! This recipe is sweet, spicy and <\/i>savory. Since microwaved popcorn can have added oil and sodium, use air-popped popcorn to make these balls even healthier. Bonus: It only takes 15 minutes to whip these up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
