2/6/2022 0 Comments Superbowl Alternative EatingA recent study from Pickwise revealed that the average American consumes up to 8,083 calories watching the Super Bowl (See Article). Some people are even using the day to compete in the 20,000 calorie day challenge. Here’s one such video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOop2bLiSFw In an effort to stay healthy but still have tasty food for the Superbowl, I will share some healthy alternatives to the standard wings, pizza, chili, chips and dip, and the list goes on. Each day until the Superbowl, I’ll add another. So, check back here each day. Recipe #7 "Whiskey" SourI am super excited to share this recipe and normally I wouldn't say that about alcoholic drinks given their empty calories and other negative impacts, but guess what? This one is a non-alcoholic "mocktail." It's a whiskey alternative drink that tastes very much like whiskey and is only 10 calories! Wouldn't it be great to have a few drinks and not have to worry about the drive home or how you'll feel the next morning, especially when the next day is a workday? Give this one a shot. This recipe comes from the maker of this particular whiskey alternative called Ritual Zero Proof If you decide to have the real thing during the Superbowl, please drink responsibly. INGREDIENTS
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker and shake until frothy. Pour into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon slice or wedge, if desired. *If you don't want the egg white, you can substitute with one ounce of chickpea juice--also known as aquafaba Recipe #6 Apricot-Glazed Chicken and CornFor those of you that love a good bucket of fried chicken during the game, try this instead. This tasty chicken dish only takes 30 minutes to make and it's sweet and spicy goodness will quickly make it a family favorite. This recipe is brought to you by womansday.com. INGREDIENTS

Just thinking about them makes you want some, right? NACHOS! All that cheesy, meaty, crunchy goodness. Oh wait, cheesy equals saturated fat, meaty equals saturated fat, crunchy equals saturated fat and carbs. So, maybe they're not so good after all. Maybe they are the gateway food to heart disease. Don't be sad. There's an alternative. Sweet Potato Nachos. If you're worried about heart disease at all, rest a little easier, this recipe comes from the American Heart Association. Enjoy!
Recipe #3 Air Fryer Chicken NuggetsWould you rather have chicken nuggets made out of who knows what parts of the chicken dipped in flour and deep fried in oil, or would you rather have homemade, chicken breast pieces breaded in italian bread and panko bread crumbs cooked without all that oil? If you choose the obvious, homemade version, it's another great idea for Superbowl food. This recipe comes from skinnytaste.com
