Healthy Game Day Snacks

Healthy-Game-Day-Snacks

Don't get us wrong, we love watching football. What we don't love is the greasy, heavy, gut wrenching snacks that go along with it. We needed healthier options on game days and figured you did, too!

So, we came up with some very tasty recipes that bring the flavor, not the Tums. These healthy game day snacks can be made to enjoy at home, or pre-made and packed for a tailgate. Oh, and these recipes require four ingredients or less and all take less than 20 minutes to make...so no excuses!

HEALTHY GAME DAY SNACKS

Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates with Prosciutto

  • 6 dates, pitted
  • 2 oz goat cheese, whipped
  • 6 slices Prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon Chile Olive Oil
Open dates, fill each date with about 1 tablespoon goat cheese in each date. Close date and roll with Prosciutto to seal. Stick it with a toothpick to stay. Finish with drizzle of Chile Olive Oil.
