Pass-off this healthy snack for Super Bowl

Pass-off this healthy snack for Super Bowl

09 Feb 2022 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read

It’s no surprise that Super Bowl Sunday ranks right up there with Thanksgiving as the days when we are most likely to consume the most calories. And while the occasional indulgence doesn’t have to completely derail your new year’s diet, we offer this sly substitution for a healthier dip.

Broccomole

This recipe offers the creamy goodness of guacamole while sneaking in the potent health benefits of broccoli. Plus, according to clinical trials, weekly broccoli consumption can lower rates of prostate, breast, lung and skin cancers!

Ingredients

3 cups chopped broccoli

1 jalapeno, chopped, seeds removed

2 tbs green onions

1 tsp olive oil

2 ounces fat free cream cheese (or silken tofu, goat cheese, sour cream, cashew cream, something creamy)

1/4 tsp chili powder

1 tbs cilantro

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Cook the broccoli in lightly salted water until very soft. Overcook the broccoli in comparison to the al dente cooking that most recipes recommend.
  • Drain broccoli very well.
  • Transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth, add additional olive oil for a smoother texture.
  • Serve warm
