Are you already planning your Super Bowl party menu? If not, you better start. Grocery stores around the US are expecting millions of dollars in additional sales over the weekend thanks to Super Bowl snacks. Make sure you head to the stores early and with a plan this weekend so that your favorite ingredients aren’t out of stock.

One of the biggest sellers in recent years has been avocados. According to the Hass Avocado Board, it is estimated that over 70 million pounds of Hass avocados will be served the weekend of the big game. Avocados are the perfect Super Bowl snack thanks to guacamole, a tasty avocado-based side dish that works as a dip, spread, or topping.

What makes guacamole the perfect Super Bowl snack?

 
Guacamole as versatile as it is nutritious. Guacamole is a creamy blend of both savory and spicy flavors, making it a great addition to the crunchy foods usually served during the Super Bowl. It’s also a nutrition powerhouse. Packed with healthy fats and vitamins E, B-6 and C, guacamole is a great nutrition booster for a traditionally unhealthy meal.

What can you do with guacamole this Sunday?

• Top your burgers with guacamole instead of ketchup and mustard.

 

• Dip your spicy wings in guacamole instead of blue cheese.

• Create a giant sub sandwich with whole wheat bread, chicken, and veggies. Use guacamole as the spread.

• Serve on top of tex-mex stuffed baked potatoes.
