Healthy Tailgating Foods
Beans are a healthy alternative and easy to prepare in advance in a crock-pot. They're a great source of energy and fiber and have anti-inflammatory properties as well.
Fruit salad
Instead of cookies or cake, prepare a fruit salad. It's easy to chop up your favorite fruits and add lemon juice to keep bananas and apples from discoloring. A dash of apple juice adds moisture. Low-fat caramel and creamy dips add extra flavor.
Healthy Yogurt Spread
Looking for a healthy alternative to spread on your crackers? Low-fat yogurt can be spiced to add zest to your appetizers.
Yogurt Cheese Spread
Place yogurt in cheesecloth in a strainer overnight to thicken. Discard liquid and add oregano, salt, garlic, cumin, turmeric, dry parsley and black pepper. Keep chilled until ready to eat.
Tailgating can be a time to enjoy the outdoors and show your team spirit. Simple changes can change conventional recipes into delicious and nutritious ones. Invite your friends to join you for a healthy tailgating party.
