Superbowl Snacks that won’t Fumble your Health
Posted by Monica | Filed under fitness, food, uncategorized
Oh yes, it’s that time of year again- GAME TIME! I love superbowl weekend, especially since this year I live in Miami and it just so happens to be here:) But nonetheless I would still much rather watch the game in the comfort of a couch, good friends, cold drinks, and yes, the SNACKS!!!! So to give a few helpful ideas for you, I will be doing a series of superbowl snack recipes this week so that you don’t pack on the pounds.
The first recipe is my favorite-
SPINICH- ARTICHOKE DIP
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (16-ounce) can lima beans, drained
- 1 cup light miracle whip (w/ olive oil is the better choice)
- 4 ounces tub-style fat-free cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
- 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced green or purple onions
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon capers, drained
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine first 8 ingredients (through mustard) in a food processor, and process until smooth (about 15-20 seconds).
3. Add remaining ingredients; pulse 6 or 7 times, then process until mixture is consistent all the way (about 10 seconds). Transfer the mixture evenly to a 1-quart casserole dish, or dipping bowl smoothing top.
4. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly at the edges. Remove from oven; cool for 10 minutes. Touchdown indeed:)
