Better Than Ranch Dip. Ranch dips are a favorite at game day parties. Why not swap out the conventional ranch for a healthier and just as tasty option? Serve alongside a variety of fresh broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, snap peas, or cherry tomatoes.

Black Bean and Corn Salsa. Game day parties are seldom complete without chips and salsa. This colorful and veggie packed salsa will be a great addition to your party food spread! Serve with whole wheat tortilla chips.

Tip: To feed a crowd on a budget, use frozen or low-sodium canned veggies.

Chicken (No Chicken) Salad. Cold salads are a perfect party food item you can bring to your next game day party. It is simple to prep and easy to transport. Serve this refreshingly light dish with whole grain crackers.

Turkey Veggie Chili. When the temperature drops during football season, what is more satisfying than a warm bowl of chili? This hearty chili recipe hits the spot without skimping on the veggies!

Sweet Potato Cookies. Finally, every party needs a sweet treat! Enjoy these sweet potato cookies packed with Vitamins A and C.

Happy game day and happy healthy eating!
