Healthy beer snacks?

dornalej

So...I know that beer isn't the most calorie friendly or healthy drink to imbibe on. That being said...I am a man...I enjoy sports, red meat and beer.

While drinking beer and watching sports though, I tend to want to snack on something. What have you found goes well with beer to snack on that is also low calorie?

Another Beer :-)

If i'm watching a game with some friends, i'm at the Gym in the morning and try to kill it. Then it's ok to do the beer and snacks. For healthy snacks i like the water crackers with laughing cow cheese, nuts, and love making buffalo chicken wrapped in egg roll wrappers -- search fort he recipe....it's awesome.

The one thing I think people forget is, you still need to live and enjoy life and if that's what you enjoy, don't take it away....just try to work out a bit more that day.....trust me you'll be happier.

I don't drink beer but like to snack with wine. I've been meaning to try crunchy roasted chickpeas (garbanza beans). Here's one recipe:

You could adapt for any number of flavor combinations by using paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.

You could make your own crunchy chips and snacks. I love spicy kale and spinach chips and they are easy to make.

A co-worker made some baked Kale chips that I just tried. Very tasty! I am going to have to give them a whirl.

Anyone know about what the price of a thing of Kale costs at the grocery store?
