Need to take an appetizer to share but want to keep it bariatric friendly? One of the best ways to survive a party is to bring something you can have! Gastric Sleeve and Bypass friendly when served with veggies! #healthyappetizer #gastricsleeveappetizer #gastricbypassappetizer #weightlosssurgery #vsg #rny

In case you haven’t heard…Superbowl Sunday IS indeed this weekend. Which in the dietitian world equals….trouble. The cashier at my grocery store the other day told me there is a shortage on wings this year. Real talk.

While I was visiting with some different patients this week, I started brainstorming dishes to bring to a Superbowl party that wouldn’t break the calorie bank. I have one on the brain to try out tomorrow as well. Tonight we tried a spinach, artichoke & turkey bacon concoction. We both like it quite a bit!!! I served it with carrot chips. Carrot chips are indeed carrots cut into a ruffle chips shape, not chips made out of carrots. Actual, real carrots. 

We also used it as a spread over grilled chicken breast and it was creamy and dreamy. If you have leftovers, I recommend saving it for a chicken topping!
