It is also very filling, with a large one cup serving size that is more than sufficient for almost any guest. You can purchase this snack or make it fresh at home.
7. Soy Cheese
Healthy party snacks do not have to be expensive or difficult to prepare. Soy cheese makes a fantastic party snack that is good for you and tastes great at the same time. One ounce of soy cheese has only sixty calories, but a lot more protein and less fat than cheese made from dairy products. There are many varieties of soy cheese to choose from, including American, Pepper Jack, Mozzarella, Cheddar, and even cream cheese in both the plain variety and many flavored varieties.
i would not think of hummus to be on this list…maybe it is time to switch to kosher food
I am allergic to soy products. But I am considering to organize a healthy party for my friends. Is anybody aware of any healthy snacks other than soy products?
yeah, it is all mostly about soy…i hate the taste of it…vegetable chips I like though…
now give me some info on healthy party drinks, and I also want to have some fun at my party)))
I have no appetite for these foods, I’d better eat unhealthy
and how about some pizzzzaaaa??????
I actually like a couple of these on the list. Fried zucchini is good as long as the batter is right. Tabouli is great, but I happen to like Indian food. It’s great with Nan bread and curry chicken. Not a big soy eater, but I’m open to new snacks to keep it interesting.
I feel far more men and women will need to read this, incredibly very good info.
