Super Bowl parties usually consist of three things—football, drinking, and lots of unhealthy foods. Whether you're on Weight Watchers, or just trying to bring a healthier alterative to the table this year, we've got you covered. All of these delicious picks are under 6 smart points, and may be even less if you're using the freestyle program. Now that's something to celebrate!

Glazed Cocktail Meatballs

View Recipe: Glazed Cocktail Meatballs

These mini meatballs are perfect for game day parties. We made them healthier by forgoing sodium-heavy ingredients like the usual ketchup and chili sauce and including whole-grain bulgur in place of breadcrumbs. They're just 4 smart points for 3 meatballs.

View Recipe: Broiled Shrimp with Buttermilk Rémoulade

If preboiled shrimp and cocktail sauce is a standard starter at your Super Bowl party, try these quick broiled shrimp with a spicy remoulade dipping sauce—a homemade alternative that takes minutes, is much more delicious, and much lower in sodium. Like cocktail sauce, the remoulade gets a pungent kick from prepared horseradish. For a different type of heat, omit the horseradish and try Creole mustard, a stone-ground mustard with a little extra vinegar punch. We leave the tails on the shrimp for easy handling. Keep a small bowl next to the serving plate for discarded shrimp tails. Shrimp with 3 Tbsp. of remoulade is just 2 smart points.

Jalapeño Popper Bean Dip

View Recipe: Jalapeño Popper Bean Dip

Love jalapeño poppers or bean dip? We've combined the flavors of both in a recipe that's perfect for game day. The silky texture of pureed pinto beans enhances creaminess, while broiler-charred jalapeños offer earthy, toasty flavor. Canola mayo helps stretch the cream cheese, providing similar richness with no saturated fat. This dip feels luxe, but there are only 3 smart points in a 1/3 cup serving.

Garlic-Herb Shoestring Fries

View Recipe: Garlic-Herb Shoestring Fries

A spiralizer creates delicate potato curls. Superthin garlic slices get wonderfully crisp in only 10 minutes. Baking at a moderately high temperature cooks the potatoes perfectly—with some crunchy, browned pieces and some more tender strands. The best part? 1/2 cup of these fries will only set you back 4 smart points.

Beet Yogurt Dip

View Recipe: Beet Yogurt Dip

Harness beets' striking color and earthy-sweet flavor in this glorious spread inspired by Jerusalem: A Cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Temimi. For a little extra heat, use up to 1/4 teaspoons za'atar spice blend as a substitute for fresh thyme, but skip ground thyme because it lends a dirt-like taste. 1/4 cup of this dip is just 4 smart points. Serve with zero-point veggies like carrots, peppers, or cucumbers for scooping.

Greek Chicken Nachos

View Recipe: Greek Chicken Nachos

Super Bowl snacks don't get any easier, or more fun, than sheet pan nachos. The pan does double duty: Toast the chips first, then pile high with toppings and return to the oven to melt the cheese and heat everything through. Here the Mexican classic takes a detour to Greece with pita chips, a shredded Greek salad, and crumbled feta. Rotisserie chicken breast makes this meal even easier, though this dish is a great use for any leftover cooked chicken. Bring the whole pan to the table and cut into servings, like you would a square pizza. These are just 6 smart points per serving on the freestyle plan.

Lobster Roll Deviled Eggs

View Recipe: Lobster Roll Deviled Eggs

Eggs steam perfectly in the Instant Pot, making this once labor-intensive appetizer a breeze. Classy enough for a dinner party while casual enough for game day, these Lobster Roll Deviled Eggs combine two fun foods into one delicious dish. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly dish, substitute pre-cooked shrimp for the lobster tail. These are 4 smart points for 2 halves.

Grilled Stuffed Jalapeños

View Recipe: Grilled Stuffed Jalapeños

The rich and creamy combination of bacon, cream cheese, and cheddar is a nice foil for the muted spice of grilled jalapeño peppers. This recipe is a healthy, fresh alternative to the popular breaded and fried version. When prepping these poppers for a party, you can stuff the peppers, cover, and chill. Then grill just before your guests arrive. These are just 2 smart points for 2 jalapeños on the freestyle program.
