Superbowl snacking: healthy game day recipes

If you're a sports fanatic, it's highly likely that on Superbowl Sunday your eyes will be glued to the TV monitor, and you won't be taking notice of much else. This means that the chances of your hand reaching back and forward between the snack bowl and your mouth will be pretty high as well.

You may walk into your Superbowl day gathering with good and healthy intentions in mind, telling yourself that you're going to monitor your eating and make sure to eat all salty and fattening snacks in moderation, but once the game begins and the excitement in the room builds up, you just may become too ridiculously distracted to follow through with your admirable plan.
