It’s Time to Re-think Your Gameday Snacks

It’s Time to Re-think Your Gameday Snacks

Sep 7th 2014

It’s that Time of Year Again!

Back to school, back to sports! Whether you’re cheering for prime time superstars, or sitting on the sidelines cheering on your own star, one thing is for sure— fall sports are coming back in full force! That also means snack season is back in full force!

 

Fans and athletes alike need some nourishment during this busy time of year, but too often we are bombarded with cheap, processed convenience foods. Sure, they’re an easy “go-to” but are they the healthiest option? Probably not!

 

Entertaining football fanatics three nights a week or feeding an army of hungry miniature future NBA stars doesn’t mean you have to reach for that wholesale store bag of chips and preservative laden jar of salsa.

 

Team parties, Sunday night dinners and stadium snacks shouldn’t be the fall to your well-being. Here are some of our favorite family-friendly foods!

 


Cashews, Almonds & Peanuts… Go Nuts!

Sunfood Heirloom AlmondsEveryone’s favorite nuts! Creamy, flavorful and super versatile, cashews are perfect for on-the-go snacks, in trail mixes, or as a cheese. One of our favorite cashew-packed savory trail mixes also features cilantro-lime pistachios, almonds, olives and power wraps!

 

Almonds can be used in a variety of mixes, try toasting or dehydrating them with a sprinkle of Pink Himalayan Salt, cinnamon and paprika for a subtle kick!

 

Let’s get back to this cheese business though. Did you know you can turn cashews into cheese? Loaded with enzymes, minerals and sans-cholesterol, this is one of the best cheeses you’ll have all season. Here’s the recipe:

Take me out to the ball game!

Sunfood Jungle PeanutsTruly an American favorite at sporting events, Peanuts are an all-around must have for the season. Enjoy them straight out of the bag, turn them into peanut butter, form a nutty trail mix, or create an Asian-inspired noodle recipe loaded with peanut flavors!
