Low Carb Snacks for Game Day #gamechangingswitch #savalotinsiders | Nevermore Lane

The Big Game day is almost here. Are you excited? If you’re like most of us, you know that planning a game day spread can make you absolutely bonkers. For others, all the game day snacking causes havoc on our lifestyles.  Big game Sunday stresses me out. It’s a day full of fun and chaos, but trying to make sure I have goodies I can snack out without worrying about my health can often wear me out.

This year I hope to change that. While I help you with some healthy snack alternatives Sav-A-Lot is going to help you in the grocery budget department.

Cauliflower Buffalo Blue Cheese Bites

All the flavor of buffalo wings without the extra calories. While wings can be a good staple item on a low carb lifestyle, on days like game days, its easy to lose track and eat your weight in calories. To battle this, we’ve taken the hot flavor of wing sauce and paired it with the cream and bite of blue cheese for a much lower calorie option.

Fresh cauliflower, blue cheese crumbles and hot wing sauce. That’s it. Well, some celery if you need a bit of crunch to take away the heat pain 😉

Simple Celery and Salsa

When I get a craving for chips and salsa, I reach for the celery. I get the same great crunch and all the salsa goodness.

For those wanting chips for their salsa, Sav-A-Lot has a great dipping tortilla chip. I even found these awesome dry roasted peanuts; which make a great game day snack, too! When I checked the label I was pretty happy that they are fairly low in net carbs! Bonus!

Celery, Bacon and Cream Cheese

As a kid I loved eating celery with peanut butter and raisins. Who remembers ants on a log? Maybe we should call the low carb version bits on a log? Hmmm that just doesn’t sound right somehow.

This is another super easy snack. Put some cream cheese in the celery and sprinkle with bacon bits; all of which can be found at Sav-A-Lot.

Yes, it’s that simple!

Ham & Cream Cheese Roll Ups

When it comes time for me to make snacks for a room full of people, I try to make things which incorporate the same ingredients. That’s why I used celery with the buffalo bites, the salsa and the bits on a log. It helps to save money when you can use ingredients for more than one recipe. Same thing with the cream cheese. I used part of the block of cream cheese for the celery and the other part on these ham rolls up!

Do you like pinwheels? I know I do, but my body doesn’t like the tortillas or wraps. To cut the bread, I use the ham as the roll up and don’t bother slicing them because I use midget dills.

TIPS: If you’re worried about the extra sodium, rinse the ham and pickles with water and blot dry. This will help with some of that extra sodium.

    1. I wish I could eat more of them! Between my PCOS, stomach/intestine issues and the immune disorder, most carbs just wreck my system with bloating, cramps and inflammation. So, I try to eat very little of them.

  2. I am trying to get onto the low-carb train it’s not easy for me but I am working on it. I’m going to have to try a couple of these recipes because they look great and I need something low-carb that actually taste good.

  3. The zucchini pizza bites look awesome! I love how pizza dough was substituted for a veggie that I love. I’ll make this for my boys for game day. As long as there is cheese in it, they’ll love it.

  4. I’ve never understood the whole pickle and ham thing. My aunt brought it to something once and I thought she had lost her mind.. then I realized it was a thing! Definitely not my thing lol

  7. These look like great game day snacks!! I am a huge chips and salsa lover and I don’t know if celery and salsa will be as fulfilling but I would try it!!

  8. I love just how we can make the cauliflower taste great. It’s just like tofu — works like a canvas — and we can put more flavorful sauces to it without having to worry much about the calories.

    1. I just love cauliflower. For the longest time it was my go-to for many things. Trying to make use of it much more lately!

  13. 5 stars
    These look so awesome. My hubby is diabetic so he watches his sugars and carbs. I think the first thing on my list would be that cauliflower to make your recipe.

  14. That pizza needs to happen immediately. They all look like an awesome addition to any tailgating party, however.

  15. Oooooo that buffalo cauliflower looks pretty tasty!!!!! I so need to make some of that this weekend! Yum 🙂

I love the bite-size snacks shown here. The Buffalo Blue Cheese Bites is something I’d definitely like to make in the future.
