2025 Tailgate Tips

Sep 16, 2025

  • Always bring something you want to eat so you’re not relying on others (and don’t count on concessions for healthy options).
  • Don’t show up hungry! You’ll just sabotage yourself with extra calories from food + drinks.
  • Pack protein + healthy fats to stay fuller longer (skip the processed carb overload).
  • Bring game-day snacks like 100-calorie nut packs or a protein bar if you’ll be there all day.

Here are some of my favorites:

1. Hummus + Veggies – Grab a veggie tray from the store, transfer it to a dish, add hummus in the middle. It’s an easy hack, no chopping needed!

2. Turkey Meatballs – Fan favorite! Just 3 ingredients:

  • 1 lb 99% fat-free ground turkey
  • 1 chopped avocado
  • 1/2 diced onion (I use red)

Mash, form into meatballs, air fry 10 min each side. Serve with marinara + toothpicks = done in minutes!

3. Shrimp Skewers – I grab frozen Argentinian shrimp from @traderjoes, season with Mrs. Dash + garlic powder, sear both sides, then skewer with cocktail sauce for dipping. Done in under 5 minutes!
