Cauliflower Buffalo bites

cauliflower buffalo bitesIf you lose all self-control when it comes to anything bite-sized and buffalo, this just might be your antidote. Cauliflower baked in olive oil and then tossed in hot sauce makes a much more waistline-friendly finger food. Not to mention, the cruciferous veg is credited with reducing inflammation, fighting cancer, boosting heart health, detoxifying your body, aiding digestion, and even improving brain function!

Skinny taco dip

skinny taco dipTacos are basically everything, right? And this skinny dip version is crack, but even the healthiest dips can quickly spiral out of control. We know you’re not going to bust out a measuring cup in the middle of the game. Here’s our advice: a half a cup serving is about the size of a tennis ball or 3-4 spoonfuls. Rather that directly dip into the bowl, dish a ½ cup serving on an individual plate and go to another area to consume it.

Vegan nacho cheese

vegan nacho cheeseThis “nacho cheese” is made with sunflower oil, carrots, potato, lemon juice, jalapeno, and tomato. And according to Stephanie Middleberg, MS, RD, CDN of Middleberg Nutrition, sun butters are a “wonderful source of protein, vitamin E, B vitamins, folic acid, and selenium.” In fact, research shows that they fight bodily inflammation, heart disease, and cancer. You’d be hard pressed to find a Tostitos dip that can do all that.

Crispy Buffalo chicken fingers

crispy buffalo chicken fingersEven the most health-conscious have a hard time turning down a buff chic tender or two. Luckily we’ve found a healthified baked version. Our only recommendation: swap in Greek yogurt for mayo. When it comes to weight loss, fat burning and fitness fuel, few foods are more powerful than the white stuff. Plus, protein aside, it’s loaded with probiotics that aid in digestion, plus calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for bone health. The best part? Your guests will be none the wiser.

Broccomole

broccomoleYou know the saying, “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” Well, guac is never broke (unless, of course, you’re ordering it from Subway). However, we are firm believers in trying new things and this broccomole is definitely one of them. Plus, according to clinical trials, weekly broccoli consumption can lower rates of prostate, breast, lung and skin cancers! And it’s all thanks to sulforaphane, a compound that can effectively “switch off” cancer genes, wiping out cancer cells and slowing the progression of disease.

Turkey pigs in a blanket

turkey pigs in a blanketUnlike conventional hot dogs, which are doused with nitrates and nitrites, chemicals that have been shown to cause cancer and diabetes, these pigs in a blanket are made with organic turkey. Most notable is the sodium count, which won’t break your daily salt bank. While we don’t recommend consuming them on the reg, the occasional indulgence won’t hurt you.

Buffalo chicken quesadilla

Carrots in a blanket

carrots in a blanketCarrots boost immunity, promote vibrant skin, reduce cholesterol, boost oral health, protect the heart, improve digestion, increase cardiovascular health, and detoxify the body, thanks to a plethora of vitamins and minerals. No hot dog is going to do all that. P.S. Did you know your body prefers to burn the fats in coconut oil (also a key ingredient in this one), rather than store them? If not, it might be time to brush up on the healthy benefits of coconut oil before you bite into this one.

Caesar wedge salad with bacon

caesar wedge salad with baconAll the flavor and none of the empty, nutrient-void carbs—we love lettuce boats. Although Caesar and bacon don’t have the most weight loss friendly rep, at 66 calories a wedge, this one is a green light. And don’t opt for turkey bacon.

According to Sarah-Jane Bedwell, RD, LDN, a Nashville-based nutritionist and author of Schedule Me Skinny: Plan to Lose Weight and Keep it Off in Just 30 Minutes a Week, “center cut pork bacon, considered the highest quality bacon in the meat industry, is actually similar in nutrition to turkey bacon—but tastes way better. The fatty portions from the top and bottom have been removed, resulting in leaner, more uniformed slices that include more meat and less fat. A serving of center cut pork bacon has only about 25 more calories than a serving of turkey bacon. And although turkey bacon is a bit leaner—only by about half a gram of fat per serving—it’s actually quite a bit lower in protein; turkey bacon has about two grams of protein per serving, whereas center cut bacon has six grams of protein per serving.”

Skinny mozzarella sticks
