stacys-multigrain-pita-chip-400x400Snacking is the quickest way to overload yourself with extra calories. Since having a Superbowl party is just as much about the food as it is the football we thought it would be nice and maybe even helpful to give you some healthier options. 

 Switch out your regular old potato chips for veggie chips. Health.com recommends the 365 Everyday Value Veggie Chips. You can eat up to 40 chips and walk away with only 130 more calories. 

If you're making the move towards pita chips try out Stacy’s Multigrain Pita Chips. Great to pair with hummus and they aren't short on flavor. Only 140 calories per ounce so you can loose some of that snacking uilt. 

If you are a die hard potato chip fan, try Cape Cod 40% Reduced Fat Original Potato Chips. These spuds are cooked in heart-healthy canola oil and then spun to get rid of the extra fat. 140 calories for about 23 chips isn't really a bad trade. 

If you're a tortilla chip lover than you're in luck. Try the Wild Harvest Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips they're light and crispy but you won't crumble into any bowl of salsa or queso. 140 calories for about 14 chips, that should hold you till halftime.
