Healthy Weekend Snack Ideas!

If you’re planning on having a cheat day this weekend, go for it. Relax and enjoy guilt-free.

But, if you would like to keep things on the healthier side so you can wake up ready to run through a brick wall, then here are some healthy recipes and ideas for you to try that katelyn and I love!:

Air Fryer Chicken Wings: Katelyn and I love wings. She actually worked at Buffalo Wild Wings when we met and I would go in there just to watch some games and have some spicy garlic naked wings (basically grilled chicken) on the weekends to spend time with her. Years down the road we still love having wings together, we just make them at home! You can pick up drums and/or wings in the meat section of your local H-E-B and follow this recipe for a healthier version of the game day favorite!

Pick up some Phoenicia Hummus: Phoenicia is a downtown Mediterranean grocery store that is one of Houston’s best places for picking up hummus. If you wanna feed a ton of people but not make any mess with cooking, they have some of the best freshly baked pita and hummus, tabouleh, and other classic Mediterranean dips that you can share with your foodie friends and have that “I got this at a place you’ve never heard of” moment!

Sweet Potato Skins: If you’ve got the time, this is an absolutely delicious way to have hand held cheesy goodness on Game Day with a healthier card as the vessel! Plus, they are super filling so you can always have this first if you’re worried about over indulging on some less healthy options at the party you’re going to! 

Making your own Guac: Guac, Pico, and Queso are all classic things to bring to any party in Texas. While queso isn’t ideal, pico and guac are just a bunch of amazing vegetables thrown together! As you shop just make sure to either grab some healthier chips like blue corn or higher grain chips or just do what we know everyone is gonna do and grab some of those amazing H-E-B restaurant-style chips!

Cauliflower Crust Pizza: If you’re the type of person that likes to make your own furniture by hand and tan leather in your backyard, you can apply that insane amount of dedication to homemade craftsmanship by making cauliflower pizza crust at home and making a vegetable-forward version of your favorite pizza! You can also just get remade frozen ones and do the same with less hassle, but why not kill that time waiting for the first kickoff by making your very own pizza crust!

And, if you wanna do a fitness version of a drinking game!
