Football season is upon us, and that means the perfect excuse to gather your friends together to watch the big games. If you want to keep the snacks on par with a healthy lifestyle, but still full of flavor that everyone will love, read on for 4 recipes for a healthier football party.
1. Warm Spinach-Artichoke Dip
Pairing iron packed spinach and healthy lima beans with light-mayo keeps the calories on this classic dish light. For a healthier crunch, serve this with celery and carrot sticks instead of tortilla chips and you’ll cut even more unnecessary calories.
