SUPER BOWL SNACKS: A variety of sweet, spicy, sour or savory snacks are perfect to enjoy while watching the Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12.

Jaya Alenghat, Reporter

Delicious snacks and beverages of various flavors are essential when watching the Super Bowl LVII, an annual event held this year in Glendale, Arizona.

Rather than craving the fast-food advertised on your TV screen, enjoy salty, spicy, sour, savory and sweet food items to supplement the game being held at State Farm Stadium on Feb. 12. 

Try Acapulco lime Barnana organic plantain chips, a far-from-basic chip item packed with spices and a tangy lime flavor. This snack, a salty potato chip alternative, won’t leave you feeling gross or tired after eating a bag. Layered ridges on the crisp, lightly fried banana slice, sprinkled with spices, crunch in your mouth, leaving a salty limey aftertaste. These sustainably harvested fried plantains, according to the manufacturer, will pack a powerful combination of flavors in your mouth during the game.

For an alternate flavor, try El Sabroso’s Spicy Chile N’ Lime Taco-Litos. Coated in a mild chili-red dust, these tightly curled tortilla chips will crunch loudly, possibly annoying your friends, as flavors of spice and lime dissolve in your mouth. Along with their color, Taco-Litos are a unique addition to the Super Bowl feast with their zesty lime flavoring and blend of hot chili peppers. 

If spicy snacks are not for you, the sweet and sour blend in Me & The Bees Lemonade can help cool off the spice. Despite its neon pink appearance, this lemonade has a soft sweet, natural and tangy taste. While providing a flavorful remedy to dehydration during the long game, supporting Me & The Bees Lemonade helps protect bees and their habitats. Its website describes how funds from the sales of this lemonade are directed toward The Healthy Hive Foundation, which supports beekeepers and scientific research. Even while relaxing on the couch all day, you won’t feel too lazy knowing that you are supporting a small-business and saving the bees.

Wai Lana Rosemary Herb Purple Sweet Potato chips can be a savory healthy addition to your Super Bowl snacks. These folded, naturally purple chips give off a peppery, rosemary scent with appetizing herby, salty and sweet flavors. Made from purple sweet potatoes, this gluten-free chip is a product of Wai Lana’s small business. Along with being a yoga teacher, song writer and author, Wai Lana sells healthy snacks to encourage people’s well-being. 

For an energizing sweet treat, Arnott’s original Tim Tams, according to the packaging, will provide you with “irresistible chocolaty happiness in a biscuit.” Coated in a thin layer of milk chocolate, these two-layered crumbly chocolate cookies are filled with a smooth and buttery chocolate cream. This famous Australian biscuit was created by William Arnott. Rather than striking gold during the gold rush of the 1850s, Arnott created his own “golden nugget” — tasty chocolate biscuits. More information about the Tim Tam products, story, and recipe can be found at the Arnott’s website. Tim Tams might not be the healthiest snack, containing 9 grams of sugar per cookie, but can be eaten in a moderate amount as a Super Bowl snack tradition.  

Acapulco lime Barnana organic plantain chips, El Sabroso’s Spicy Chile N’ Lime Taco-Litos, Me & The Bees Lemonade, Wai Lana Rosemary Herb Purple Sweet Potato chips and Arnott’s original Tim Tams are excellent additions to this year’s annual Super Bowl feast. Despite who wins, the various flavors in these snacks will ensure that your Super Bowl LVII experience will not be forgotten.
