When sports are on TV...really, any sport will do (I am equal opportunity watcher)...that's a cue to bust out the snacks, like these Baked Cauliflower Bites with Hummus & Feta. Because I just seem to cheer better when I'm fueled up on finger food. This week, of course, it's all about the Super Bowl, but healthy snacks are a focus at our house year round. After school snacking, watching sports snacking, post-workout snacking or just fuel-me-up-between-meals snacking.

And that brings us to our Week 5 challenge for the Healthy New Year Challenge

To recap, in Week 1 Liz and I focused on Boosting Protein at Breakfast to Fuel Your Day, in Week 2 we added in the challenge of Go Ethnic at Dinner, in Week 3 we challenged you to Try a New Lean Protein and Week 4 was all about reducing sodium with citrus.

THIS WEEK'S GOAL IS...HEALTHY SNACKING (for the Super Bowl and other times)

Healthy Snacking:

For me, the key to everyday healthy snacking is planning ahead. Vegetables cut up in the fridge, hummus (lots of it) on hand, fruit basket full, raw nut containers refilled and yogurt stock at full capacity (see 50 Healthy Snacks...100 Calories or Less). Typically, I try to get a dose of protein with my snacks to make sure that I curb the munchies until the next meal.

Hydration is also key. Many times when I think I'm hungry, I'm actually dehydrated and a glass of water or cup of herbal tea takes the edge off.

When it comes to snacking on game day, things get a little fancier than a cup of yogurt or a handful of almonds, but I still try to keep things healthy. Some of our favorites: , Healthy Mediterranean 7-Layer Dip and Baked Chicken Ranch Yogurt Egg Rolls.

Tips for making baked cauliflower bites:

These mini baked cauliflower bites are being added to our list of favorites. I used a big dollop of Sabra's Roasted Pine Nut Hummus for extra flavor, but any Sabra hummus will work in these.

Before chopping the cauliflower florets, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove any moisture. This is key! You don't want to end up with soggy cauliflower bites.

For the cauliflower, feel free to chop it in a food processor, but be sure not to process until it's smooth. It should be the consistency of small grains of rice before mixing in the other other ingredients.
