The Super Bowl is coming up! Even if your team doesn’t make it, many of you will still tune in for an entertaining game. As I got to thinking about the game this year, I panicked! Beth and I will still be on our vegan diet! No cheese, no sour cream, no buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing! What’s a guy to do? I had some choices to make.
If I stray from my plan, even for the one day, it’ll be easier to stray moving forward. No, I can’t do that. My health is just too important. So what can I do to pare down and make this a vegan menu? I can’t bring myself to use fake cheese or to try to make buffalo tofu. I’m sure it’s fine, but not for me. I can however, make a few things that I enjoy anyway. Our vegan Super Bowl menu this year includes:
- Spinach Pesto and Mushroom Pizza
- Vegan Chili (over rice with corn chips, of course)
- Tortilla Chips
- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Sweet Potato Fries
- Cut Veggies
- Pita
- Hummus
This is food that I love to eat, that I can easily put together before the big game, and that you can pretty easily eat between plays while sitting on the couch. Best of all I won’t feel guilty and heavy the next morning from all of the food.
While you are planning your menu, make sure that you pick up some NFL shop coupons and get some great gear to show your support for your team. Who are you routing for? Leave us a comment and let us know.
This looks like a solid menu of vegan deliciousness! Enjoy the Super Bowl!
sounds like many of the things I plan to be eating during the super bowl. not as a vegan but as low weight watchers point snacks.
The Super Bowl is a great time to gather, and your vegan menu sounds delicious and practical! I love how you’ve tailored it to suit your diet while keeping the spirit of the event alive. Spinach pesto pizza and sweet potato fries are genius additions! Staying committed to your health goals, even during big events, is inspiring. I’m rooting for the Eagles!! What about you? Also, thanks for the NFL shop coupon tip—perfect timing for grabbing some gear! Let’s hope for an exciting game!
