Hey y’all!
It’s now officially college football season in South Carolina! Besides the internship (always number one), my priorities currently include cheering on the Clemson Tigers and hosting successful game-day tailgates. With thorough planning, I attempt to create healthy, nutritious options for guests. Also, considering these September tailgates take place outdoors, in 80-90 degree temps, I make sure to consider food safety. Below are some tips for a healthy tailgate and a favorite football recipe of mine!
Healthy tailgating tips:
Avocado Ranch Greek Yogurt Dip
Ingredients:
1 large avocado
1 ½ tbsp lime juice
1 package Hidden Valley Greek yogurt dip ranch mix
1 c. fat free, plain Greek yogurt
Directions: whisk ingredients together in a medium bowl and serve with carrots, celery, peppers, or a vegetable of your choice!
**Remember to keep dip on ice or store it in your cooler.

Healthy tailgating tips:
- More fruits and veggies! Fruits and vegetables make great vessels for different dips. When possible, substitute fruits and vegetables for chips and crackers.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Keep water stocked at the tailgate. Make sure you and your guests drink plenty of water.
- Exercise! It’s possible; play fun tailgating games like corn-hole, or toss around a football.
- Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot! Make sure perishable items are kept insulated or in a cooler filled with ice.
