Creamy, guacamole-like avocado hummus is a delicious high protein snack that is naturally vegan, gluten free and good for everyone!
With the football game of the year happening today, I know a lot of us are probably spending the morning making a snack or two for the ultimate TV munch day. I’m not a big football fan, but I am a big food fan, obviously, so I’m willing to do a day of football to get access to all the best snacks of the year.
Although its a good time, sitting around eating for hours in front of the TV isn’t exactly the best for our bodies (I know, total bummer), so I just wanted to share a recipe that is – avocado hummus!
It’s similar to guacamole, but different enough that it can pass as a totally different dip all on its own OR can be subbed in for a healthier guac when you want to lighten things up a bit.
Avocado hummus is the perfect filling party appetizer because your guests won’t even know that they’re eating ‘health food.’ See how sneaky I am? Follow me in all my sneaky ways and you’ll thank me tomorrow when you aren’t suffering from a post-super bowl food hangover. If healthy guac isn’t your thing, check out some of these other appetizers for game day eats.
My last few weeks have been so packed with social activities that I’m absolutely thrilled that we aren’t going to a super bowl party today and are just staying home to watch the game.
Recharging with some quality couch and dog snuggle time is where it’s at. So what’s on the menu for us? We’re making this dip and some zucchini pizza bites!
With a little work, nourishing food can be even more delicious than your standard go-to munchies. And all tastiness aside, your body will thank you for the veggies with that needle on the scale staying where you want it the next morning instead of creeping up on you.
Whether you’re in it for the football or the food – enjoy the day and may the best team win!
