This super bowl I decided to keep everything I ate healthy. As a beverage I only drank things like smoothies and water. As food I chose things like fruits.
I'll start out by talking about the beverages I drank. At Food Lion I bought 2 bags of assorted frozen fruits. The first one I got is called the green mix. In it is frozen spinach, apples, mangos, bananas, and pineapples. The second one I got is called the pink mix. In this one is frozen bananas and strawberries. All you have to do to make these is, blend about 6 ice cubes, 10 of the frozen fruits, and about 1/2 cup of water. Each package of frozen fruit makes about 4-8 smoothies depending on how much ingredients you used. On the label it says that the serving size is 3/4 cup. It has 0 saturated and trans fat. It contains 12 grams of sugar. It has 80 calories per serving. 40% vitamin A is the top nutrient. I also made sure I drank water.
The first smoothie I decided to make was the green smoothie. Since it was green and had spinach in it my brothers wouldn't try it. When I finally got them to try it they didn't have a bad reaction they thought it was ok. My dad liked it. I really liked it, I thought it wasn't to cold and I could barely taste the spinach was over the other fruits.
For food the frozen fruits in the smoothie package is great to eat too. The fruit taste good frozen. It has all of the same nutrition facts that the smoothie has. Another healthy snack I like to eat is apples with a little peanut butter spread on them. Peanut butter is healthy as long as you don't use to much. An Apple has 130 calories, the serving size being 1 apple. It has 0 saturated and trans fat. It has 25 grams of sugar. The top nutrient is 8% vitamin C. The serving size for peanut butter is 1/2 cup and the amount of calories is 190. It has 6 grams of saturated fat and 0 grams of trans fat. It contains 16 grams of sugar. The top nutrient in peanut butter is 10% calcium.
On Super Bowl Sunday a rough number of 28,000,000 pizzas are ordered. 1.25 billion chicken wings are ordered. Restaurants sell quadruple the amount of things like pizzas, wings, and chips, while selling even less smoothies and salads then normal. Over 2 billion liters of soda are bought and consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. It's almost as if super bowl Sunday is a cheat day for everyone. Those giant numbers are one of the reasons we should be eating healthy on Super Bowl Sunday and on a regular basis.
So that concludes my healthy Super Bowl snacks, and some reasons why everyone else should be eating healthy, and not just on super bowl Sunday.
