Healthy Families – Healthy Foods for Game Day with Justina Adangai and Deanna Padilla

What are healthy snack ideas for game day?

Omni Family Health experts Justina Adangai and Deanna Padilla share smart strategies for enjoying game day without overdoing it. They recommend planning ahead. Don’t arrive hungry, start with a healthy drink like water, and pace yourself. “Mindful eating” helps curb mindless chip snacking. They also offer healthier game-day swaps, such as baking chicken wings instead of frying, substituting sweet potato fries for regular fries, and using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream in dips. Add veggie platters, whole-grain chips, and cottage cheese–based dips to the lineup. Finally, they encourage choosing mocktails over calorie-heavy alcoholic drinks to keep celebrations fun and wholesome.
