What’s Trending – Super Bowl Swaps
Are you worried about eating healthy during the Super Bowl? We talked better for your bite ideas Leslie Bonci on The Jim Brickman Show this weekend.
- The swap for rule – Changing one item for a healthier option. For example, instead of serving Crackers, use pistachios!
- Be prepared – If you show up to the party hungry you’ll eat more. Eat before you arrive at the party, drink a few glasses of water.
- Portion Control – Grab small plates of food, if you’re still hungry you simply have another small plate.
Put these rules into practice with the classic Super Bowl dish – wings! Instead of standard breading, use crushed pistachios instead.
