While most people don’t associate self-care with major sporting events, we believe that Super Bowl Sunday is actually a great time to pay some extra close attention to taking care of yourself… especially since we have no Super Bowl get-togethers to attend this year! Of course it can be fun to over indulge in junk food and let the skincare routine slip by for just one night. However, with some extra care and planning, we think you can combine Super Bowl Sunday AND Self Care Sunday for the ultimate weekend indulgence!
Create Some Healthy Super Bowl Snacks
First comes first… the snacks! Before the game starts, be sure to prep all of your favourite foods! Lots of Super Bowl Sunday fans use the big day as an excuse to load up on potato chips, chicken wings, and cheesy comfort food. However, we think that you should be able to enjoy some treats… that are both delicious and nutritious!
- Try the organic gorilla chips with cauliflower from Just About Foods. These tasty gluten free chips are made with cauliflower flour and zero saturated fat. They’re also a good source of fiber.
- You could also opt for the organic chickpea tortilla chips. These crunchy, healthy chips are delicious and perfect for dipping.
- Core & Rind make a range of amazing dipping sauces that are plant-based and dairy free. Our favorite is the cashew cheesy sauce. Use this for dipping or for an indulgent nachos dish.
- Try this super healthy hummus from Sunflower Kitchen with your tortilla chips. With loads of tasty flavors to choose from, you can enjoy this hummus all day long… on sale this month for just $1.99!
