Hi Guys!
The Super Bowl's this weekend! I'm so bummed my Packers lost to Seattle and won't be coming to Phoenix. So sad. 🙁 The stadium's within walking distance of my house and it would've been incredible to have the Packers in my backyard. I must admit though it's still exciting to see preparations coming together and the energy growing in my own neighborhood. Last weekend I walked around the stadium to check things. They've been working around the clock to get things ready. Hopefully you have something fun planned for game day. I plan on staying close to home because security and traffic will be a nightmare.
I'm not sure what game day eats and treats I'll be making, but they're sure to be good and healthy. Whatever your plans are, I hope you make them healthy too. Today I'm giving you a few healthy options to inspire your Super Bowl festivities. Enjoy!
Winter Kale Butternut Squash Salad with Spiced Pecans the spiced pecans are pure candy
Cauliflower Fritter Pancakes a sneaky veggie snack
Vegetarian Black Bean Chili you can never go wrong with chili on the Super Bowl, you can always add chicken, turkey or pork too
Sweet Potato Mexican Mash another super easy crockpot dish
Roasted Carrot Fries delicious with plain greek yogurt & burgers
Zucchini Parmasean Bites they melt in your mouth
Spicy Plantain Chips perfect chip with salsa
Homemade Salsa so good with tortilla or plantain chips
Avocado Hummus the creamiest hummus ever so good with broccoli & cauliflower
Sun Dried Tomato Red Pepper No Bean Hummus raw peppers & carrots are my favs with this, recipe coming this Friday
Chocolate Avocado Pudding so yum with apple & pear slices
Easy Antioxidant Trail Mix perfect to fill little jars with around the house
Chocolate Almond Energy Bites warning these are so good you'll need at least 2 batches
Zucchini Espresso Bites every party needs a brownie so why not make it a healthy one
Chocolate Chickpea Blondies and while you're at it make these too
100 Calorie Chocolate Chip Greek Muffins because you always need a muffin or two 🙂
What team do you think will win this year? What are you making on game day? I need some inspiration from you! Enter your links in the comments below.
Lots of Health, Food & Love,

I won't be hosting a thing but if I were I would make MEAT BAGELS and roast butternut squash "fries" and then serve up pancakes on a stick for dessert! WHAT WHAT! Wait, maybe I will host something now, because that sounds PHENOMENAL!
Megan says
I would come to your party. That sounds delicious!
Jessie says
You just had to remind me that the Packers lost, huh? 🙁 🙁 🙁 So sad!
Megan says
Try having a constant reminder 3 blocks from your house. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Maryea {happy healthy mama} says
I live in OH now, but lived in PHX area last time they hosted the Super Bowl. Such a fun time! I am rooting for the Pats this year (I'm a Lion's fan....but my husband is from MA). We'll have a variety of healthy and not-so-healthy snacks around! 😉
Megan says
Balance is always a good thing. 80/20 rule, right?
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West says
Hi Megan! I'm a Patriots fan because of my husband, but I like the Super Bowl for the food, socializing and commercials. I love the look of all these dishes and hope someone makes something healthy at the party I'm attending. But probably not! 🙂 Happy Tuesday!
Megan says
I love the commercials too! I wonder how many people would come to my Healthy Super Bowl party. 🙂
Elsie @ Sharing Healthiness says
I am so jealous you live so close! Despite all the fuss I just love the atmosphere when there is such a great event! Love how Avocado Hummus sounds! 😉
Megan says
The hummus is really creamy and delicious. I'm hoping I can get some pics this weekend, but it might be too crazy.
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
Whoa you live way out there! I'm sad I won't be in Scottsdale for the game. The first time Super Bowl was out in AZ it was seriously so insanely fun!
Megan says
I know I live far. I work near the airport. My commute is awful, but I moved here before I knew I'd be working there.
Erin@BeetsPerMinute says
I think this is the first time I've looked at a blog post and wanted absolutely every single item of food. I'm not a huge football fan, but if this menu was being served I'd certainly be a good sport! YUM!
Megan says
I'm glad someone would come to my Super Bowl party. You wouldn't believe the negative twitter responses I got.
Michele @ paleorunningmomma says
Wow what a collection Megan! The parmesan bites are calling me! Great ideas, and very cool that you're right near all the action 🙂
Megan says
I was just thinking I need to make parmesan bites. They melt in your mouth.
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
Great recommendations! I am looking forward to all the food...not so much the teams. Can't stand either one of them! I've been browsing Pinterest for ideas also. I can't decide what to bring for our little yearly gathering g at our friends house.
Megan says
I can't stand either team either. I'm tired of seeing the same teams play every year over year.
Lauren @ The Bikini Experiment says
All of these looks great! Love the look/sound of the plantain chips and the cauliflower fritters. I am going to make guacamole! I shared the recipe on Sunday and this is the link. http://thebikiniexperiment.com/best-homemade-guacamole/
Megan says
Yum, I love guacamole. Excellent healthy treat!
Jill @ Champagne for Everyday says
Oh man, this whole spread is totally drool worthy! I love the carrot fries idea, as well as the plantain chips. It's definitely guy friendly...if only you could just open a bag and they would magically appear, I'd never have to make "healthy suggestions" to my bf again 😛
Very cool that you live so close to the stadium!
Megan says
I wish they'd appear in my kitchen too. I try to keep things in the freezer, but it still takes some work. Good luck with the bf!
Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate says
I have been loving cauliflower in all forms lately- I will have to make those cauliflower fritter pancakes next! 🙂
Megan says
Hope you like the cauli pancakes Kate. A little greek yogurt on top is nice too.
Tamara @ A Side Of Dessert says
Everything looks so delicious! I haven't made those cauliflower pancakes in a while..I might have to make a batch this week!
Megan says
I haven't made them in awhile either. This may be the weekend.
