14 Healthy Super Bowl Party Recipes

The Super Bowl seems to arrive just in time to extinguish the best of New Year intentions to “get serious about getting healthy.” I already planned to highlight healthy food choices for this round-up, but wasn’t sure if people would be looking to finish a healthier party with more decadent deserts. So I polled a few friends on Facebook if they would want healthy dessert choices or relish the usual Super Bowl party fare. The majority preferred healthy choices, with a few happy to throw caution to the wind and indulge at a party. I can certainly relate to both. One friend even mentioned bringing something healthy she would want that others would enjoy as well—a smart way to be serious about health.

Whatever your plans for Super Bowl Sunday these health-inspired recipes, including desserts, will score big. Click on the title or the photo for the complete recipe.
