Easy Footy Party Finger Food

The footy season is here again which means party food and TV dinners! We watch our favourite teams, hoping and willing them across the try line until it comes down to the final two...grand final week. This year, why not create a healthy party menu that you can mix up and innovate along the way? Research shows that the sedentary nature of watching television may partially reflect the increase levels of obesity and the risk of diabetes.22

By including avocados in your party recipes, you are providing a high concentration of mono-unsaturated fatty acids which have beneficial effects on blood lipids.38 Try these easy and delicious avocado finger
food for your next footy night. Even some of own website users have sent us some great easy party food ideas:
