15 Healthy Super Bowl Recipes to WOW your guests AND stick to Your Health Goals

November 13, 20245 min read

For me, Super Bowl Sunday means 3 things; lots of football watching, lots of couch time, and LOTS of comfort food (which are usually not very healthy).

I get it, we all love delicious, mouth-watering, "game-day" food! But what if you are eating dairy-free? or gluten-free? or trying to eat clean? Does that mean you have to sacrifice these foods and only eat a salad?

NO WAY! You can have your nachos and eat them too. Here are 15 healthy recipes that you can bring to a party or impress your Super Bowl guests and 100% stick to your health goals for this year. I mean, we just started our New Year Resolutions, right??

These recipes are dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, considered clean-eating and healthy (according to yours truly). You could also say that most are Paleo or Whole30 as well but I'm not really into labels, I just want to help you find some healthy recipes that are really yummy!

What it's like to work with Leah

Kim Morrow

I am so much more conscious of what I am putting into my body and I actually feel really empowered and good about myself by saying no to the foods that are not good for me. At Dinner the other night, my husband and kids kept asking me to try one french fry or one bite of their dessert, and I just smiled and said 'no thank you'.

Marisa Lonic

With 20+ post partum pounds, I was looking for a program to help me. I was blown away working with Leah. I lost 9 pounds, felt less tired and formed healthy habits that are now j7st part of my new normal.

Jonelle Fernandes

My whole adult life I have struggled with eating healthy, never really feeling satisfied and giving in to very unhealthy choices. Leah is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and support when it comes to nutrition. It is because of her programs that I am FINALLY eating healthy on a regular basis! I feel the best I’ve ever felt, I have more energy, better sleep, less inflammation, better skin, and a better mood! Not to mention, I lost 11 pounds and the weight is continuing to come off!

Meet Kathy

She conquered 20+ years of debilitating joint pain after completing the 4-Week Total Body Reset Challenge!
