Either pop it yourself at home or buy it in the store (my favorite brands are Skinny Pop, Smart Food, and Boom Chicka Pop). To make at home: use coconut oil, olive oil, or sunflower oil and add just a dash of salt (bonus – add fun herbs & spices like dill, garlic powder, or paprika for a kick!)
Buying the fruits and veggies fresh from the produce aisle give the best flavor and is far cheaper than buying a pre-made tray. Pair veggies with a ranch dressing made from yogurt. Pair fruit with a homemade dip of plain Greek yogurt, vanilla, and a pinch of your favorite zero-calorie sweetener for a low-calorie, creamy treat that has a kick of protein!
Who doesn’t love a good charcuterie board? The best thing about charcuterie boards is that they are 100% customizable! Simply stroll through the meat and cheese section at your local grocery store and pick out your favorites. I recommend buying small amounts of 3 different kinds of both meats and cheeses. Then, add whole grain crackers, grapes, your favorite jam, carrots, and hummus for a variety of healthy game day appetizers!
