    These individual Veggie Cups are perfect for game days! Each one is layered with creamy ranch dip and veggies like carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers and celery.

    game day veggie cups

    As soon as football season begins, I start planning out what food to serve at our game day parties. Last year, I did a whole football party food bar that was a huge hit. This year I plan to do the same but incorporate some more healthy options like veggies.

    These veggie cups are the perfect party appetizer since they are already portioned, easy to grab and ready to enjoy. Plus, you have just the right amount to get you started before digging into the full party spread.

    You can totally customize them to suit everyone’s taste buds. Mix and match with any veggies and pair with your favorite dips such as hummus, ranch, guacamole or Greek yogurt dip.

    If you love this game day appetizer, try my football snack board or game day sliders for more bite sized snacks!

    Absolutely! You can use larger cups for more dip and veggies per serving.
