Healthy, Lightened Game Day Eats - Buffalo Bites, Pizza, and Fish Tacos
When I was on Weight Watchers before I hated football Game Days. I mean, I didn't! They were a blast, but I hated the fact that I felt the need to deprive myself of EVERYTHING that I wanted to eat on Game Day.
Wings.
Pizza.
Tacos.
Beer.
I'm not going to lie--those things still taste reallllllll good. I still struggle to say no! So, instead of saying no--why not try a healthy alternative!
Here are some delicious football game day eats, just in time for the Super Bowl (Go SEAHAWKS!)! Not only are they delicious, but they're HEALTHY!
First up...

Tortilla Pizzas
This is one of MY FAVORITES! I have been eating this since I started Beachbody and it is one of my favorites! I LOVE me some pizza and beer, especially on game day! And I'll be damned if someone says I can't have that on game day! Soooooo I lightened it up! :-)
The big thing with pizza is all the carbs, so I lighten it up the most by using tortillas instead of pizza dough for my crust! Then your toppings can be whatever you want! I like veggies and light proteins like ham, chicken, or turkey bacon. So the what you need list is very short and flexible!
What do you need?
- Large flour tortillas
- Whatever toppings you want!
- Some combinations to try:
- Olive oil, cherry tomatoes, spinach, mozzarella
- Pesto, spinach, mozzarella
- Cheddar cheese mix, ham and spinach
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
- Make your pizza how you like it!
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy!
Then Enjoy! Seriously - my favorite thing ever!!! Totally cures my pizza fix!
Try some stuff out--olive oil, pesto, or tomato sauce is totally cool!
Veggies - tomatoes, spinach, artichokes, basil, etc.
Protein - chicken, turkey, ham, turkey bacon
Keep you toppings light just like your crust!
And if you want a beer with your pizza? Totally fine! I'm all about balance and substitutions, not about deprivation. So instead of a high calorie beer, try a light beer! I know, I know--light beer has a bad rep! But I loved Corona Light and that is still my Game Day, at home go-to!
This is a go to! So keep these toppings in your fridge even NOT on Game Day and you'll have a healthy, junk food-tasting fix!
