How is your weekend going? I just left a fabulous early morning detox yoga class. The best part of the class occurred at the very end when the woman next to me said, “Well that was fabulous. Now I’m ready to go get ‘toxed.’” Ha!
We chatted for a bit after class and a Super Bowl party is on her agenda for today! Ryan and I will also be heading to a friend’s house to watch the Puppy Bowl big game and I’m currently making a grocery list so we can arrive with some delicious treats to share!
I know a bunch of you out there are likely gearing up for a party today as well and are planning to make a trip to the grocery store this morning, so I wanted to pop in and share some of my go-to lightened up party favorites! Below you will find a mix of side dishes, desserts and dips.
Enjoy!
Healthy and Delicious Super Bowl Snacks
- Fruit Kebabs with Honey Goat Cheese Dip – This dip requires only two ingredients and is sweet, tangy and creamy. Always a hit!
- Gluten-Free + Vegan Brownie Batter Truffles – These truffles taste like brownie batter and don’t require any time in the oven. With only four good-for-you ingredients, you can make these in a flash and be out the door in no time at all. Perfect for the procrastinators out there who also happen to have a sweet tooth!
- Edamame and Black Bean Salad – This can easily be a side dish or a dip. It is ridiculously delicious and comes together really fast thanks to minimal chopping in the kitchen!
- Curried Sweet Potato Salad – As someone who thinks typical potato salad is not so tasty, I was shocked to find myself in love with the curried sweet potato salad dish I had at a local restaurant. This is my recreation of that dish and Ryan and I love the sweet and savory flavor combination.
- No Bake Oatmeal Nut Butter Balls – A perfectly popable snack sure to satisfy the peanut butter lovers out there!
- Cilantro Shrimp and Avocado Salad – This salad is light and flavorful and I can easily eat it as an entree, though it makes a fabulous side dish as well.
- Cinnamon Peanut Butter Popcorn – Combine peanut butter and popcorn and you’ve got a homerun! This addicting recipe can easily be tripled or quadrupled to serve a big group… but don’t assume you’ll have any leftovers!
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

All of these recipes look amazing but I have my eye on the oatmeal-nut butter balls in particular! Thanks for the tips!
I make those at least 2x a month! They’re so tasty and a great on-the-go snack!
yum! i’m making buffalo chicken dip today – definitely not healthy, but itz my husband’s favorite, so a couple times a year i make it! 🙂
Sounds delicious to me!!!
Those nut butter balls look wonderful! I think I will make them for my girls bible study in a few weeks (since I am signed up for dessert). Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Today I am making coleslaw (for the first time) to bring to a super bowl party downtown. I’ll see if I can healthi-fy it a little without sacrificing flavor, lol- I think I’ll end up making the REAL-DEAL somehow!!! 😉
These pictures are making my mouth water! They all look so good!
Brownie batter truffles?! Peanut butter cinnamon popcorn?! Oh Julie, you taunt me with recipes I don’t have ingredients for… 😉 Also, I will definitely get “toxed” today. (I just realized that could be taken horribly out of context… ha!)
Wow these are some great healthy options! 🙂 Look delicious!!
Yum!!! All your treats look great….especially the curry sweet potato salad and the chocolate truffle bites!! 🙂
The edamame and black bean salad is soooooo delicious! I’ve made it weekly ever since you first posted it. Huge thank you for sharing that recipe!!!
Yay! So happy to hear this!
All of these recipes look delicious! How could I possibly choose??? 🙂
Those all look so good! I don’t think those oatmeal nut butter balls would make it through the game 🙂
Yum! Adding the edamame black bean salad to my to-make list for sure (not for the Super Bowl though, just for me :)).
Her comment about “toxin” is great! 🙂
All the recipes look great!
You inspired me to take a Hatha flow class this morning, and I thank you for it! I just made batch of black bean hummus to take over to a friends’, I am wayyyy more excited for the food than the game 🙂
Yum!!!
These are great ideas! My husband and I are always looking for healthy options to tie in with our “splurges”. This year we are having a 12th Man Taco Bar (12 ingredients to choose from) and Bloody Mannings (aka Bloody Marys). 🙂
The shrimp&avacado dish looks AMAZING! Will have to try making these recipes!

I just can’t get on board with these-one day of regular Super Bowl food is just too awesome to pass up with ‘healthified’ versions!
Yum! I’m going to snack on quiche lorraine and veggies & hummus during the game. Go Broncos!
Edamame, black beans and corn are my handsdown by favorite combo! I will definitely be trying out that salad 🙂
All of your Super Bowl treats look amazing! I’m gonna have to try them. Thanks for giving me more incredible recipes to try!
Thanks, as always, for sharing your fabulous ideas! Hope you are enjoying the day and some of these yummy goodies!
those chocolate balls look too good!!
I feel like someone calling into a radio show….long time reader, but first time poster/first time asking a question. I really enjoy reading your blog, and was wondering about how long you spend working on a post? Do you give yourself a time limit? or just wing it? 🙂 Thanks!
I want to make an entire meal out of your side-dish recipes! Love them all. Yesterday for the Super Bowl party I went to, I made gluten-free apple bites: http://daybydaymasterpiece.com/2013/10/23/gluten-free-apple-pie-bites/
Those all look amazing! Way better than what I had with the fattening dips, meats, and hot wings. Oh well. I am going to save this so next time I can actually eat something healthy for the superbowl instead of sabotaging myself and eating junk. Great post!
Yum! All of these look so, so good!
