Super Bowl Sunday is a great day for everyone.

It's one of the most exciting days of the year for sports fans, and even if you don't love sports, it's one of the best days for snacking. And while there's nothing wrong with our favorite classic Super Bowl snacks, it's also good to introduce new foods and balance out the snack table with healthier treats.

Here are 10 new healthy and delicious snacks that you can try on game day. It doesn't matter which teams are playing; we all win when chips and dip are involved!

Ultimate Vegan Nachos

Here is a healthy plant-based twist on a classic game-day snack. This Ultimate Vegan Nachos recipe features sriracha cheddar cheeze, organic tortilla chips, black beans, avocado, cherry tomatoes and pico de gallo. Plant Perks made the recipe with their brand of cheeze spread, but you can buy any vegan cheese to melt or you make your own! It's delicious and you get an extra boost of protein from the black beans and healthy fat from the avocado.
