Because popchips are a better-for-you option over some other snacks, I thought it would be fun to put a better-for-you healthy Superbowl Snack spread together for the big game. If you’re like me, then your friends and family have allergies and dietary restrictions that can sometimes put a damper on parties. A few simple swaps from traditional homegating food are all it takes to make sure everyone can have something to snack on!

popchips Ridges Game Day Snacks

popchips and Dips

When it comes to snacking, one of my go-to snacks around the house is popchips snacks. They’ve recently introduced popchips ridges, and now you can distinguish them by their new “bold & crunchy” ridges packaging. With three game day ready flavors of buffalo ranch, tangy barbecue, and cheddar & sour cream, you’ll want to add these to your snack table for the Superbowl!

  • Buffalo Ranch Ridges give you the taste of Buffalo Wings without the mess. Your taste buds will be tingling! Substitute these for messy wings in your snack spread. For even more ranchy-flavor, pair these with a ranch dip!
  • Cheddar & Sour Cream Ridges combine the flavors of sharp cheddar, smooth sour cream, and potatoes. Watch out, these are addictive, and you might eat the whole bag if you’re not careful! ;)
  • Tangy Barbeque Ridges are sweet and smoky with a touch of spice. While they’re not fresh off the grill, you might think they are! Even better? No mess or moist towelette required. 

With ten other flavor options, there’s a popchips Ridges option that’s perfect for your party. The ridges are great for picking up dips, and all flavors of popchips are never fried, contain only real ingredients, and are naturally gluten-free. You can find popchips at your local grocery store, or online at amazon.com/popchips!

Veggie Tray

I love putting together healthy snack options, but honestly, it can be time-consuming! All that slicing and dicing can be exhausting. My party hack? Buy a pre-made tray at the grocery store and then add on to it. I buy the organic veggie trays at my local grocery store and add a few additions to make it my own.

Here are some of my favorite veggies to snack and dip:

  • Cucumbers
  • Grape tomatoes
  • Celery sticks
  • Baby carrots
  • Sliced bell peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
