Instead of serving tortilla chips made from white flour (which doesn’t help to whittle your waistline or boost your health), opt for whole grain chips instead. “Whole grains are packed with nutrients, including protein, fiber, B vitamins, antioxidants, and trace minerals (iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium).” [Source: WebMD.com]

By serving this guacamole alongside a platter of freshly-washed raw veggies, you’ll not only be snacking on low-calorie, high-fiber foods, you’ll also be giving yourself a hearty dose of nutrient-rich vitamins.

Not only is turkey a rich source of protein (which is essential for building a lean, fit figure), it’s also low in fat, and contains Vitamin B6 and niacin, which help to naturally boost your energy. This makes turkey a great meat choice for long Game Day parties, since football games often last for several hours.

Plus, by adding spinach (which is a vitamin-packed super food) and bell peppers (which have anti-inflammatory properties) to these healthy snacks, you’re boosting the healthful ingredients in these turkey & veggie rolls, while incorporating vibrant color and crunchy texture.
