Secrets to a kickass vegan game day party

We are all sports fans this week, right? Well at least we are all fans of the accompanying food. Yes friends, it’s time for friendly wagers, beer, friends in your Covid pod, and some kick ass vegan food. Whether your Super Bowl soiree is just you and the fam, your besties on Skype, or an outdoor block party, we’ve got some tips on an amazingly vegan spread.

True to the spirit of the Super Bowl, we’ve ranked these babies based on ease:

 🏈= 1st down 

🏈🏈= field goal

🏈🏈🏈= touchdown 

1st Down  🏈

Veggie tray: A no brainer. Easy win and shows that you actually care about people’s health. Unless you are supremely confident in your vegan ranch dip (I’m still perfecting mine), serve with hummus. 

Guac and Salsa: Serve with tortilla or pita chips.

Pretzel bites: No recipe here. Get in your car, drive to grocery. Pick up Pretzilla pretzel bites and bask in the glory of fabulously vegan carbs. Serve with vegan cheese dip, stone ground mustard, or herbed vegan butter. (Or all three!)

Field Goal  🏈🏈

Meatballs: Three little ingredients. One giant hero (that’s you).

Stuffed jalapenos: A new take on a tasty favorite. Hold the cream cheese, add the PB. 

Pigs in blanket: Pillsbury crescent rolls cleverly mask the vegan hot dog centers.  Pair with homemade honey mustard to kick up the enjoyment even more.  

Game Day Chili: An avalanche of beans and flavor. No one will ever question the protein source. Well, until they see a vegan eating it.

Touch Down 🏈🏈🏈

 Artichoke dip: Warm and gooey, soon to be a fan fav. Serve with hearty crackers, like Mary’s Gone.   

Chili cheese dip:  Reminiscent of the Velveeta and Hormel gut buster from my youth! Serve with tortilla chips. Bonus points: serve with Fritos.

Chipotle wraps: Who needs ham and cheese roll-ups when you can sink your teeth into these spicy, protein-packed chickpea flavor bombs.

Happy munching… and watching!
