How to Win at Super Bowl Sunday as a Vegan

Whether you’re hosting the party or showing up as a guest, Super Bowl Sunday should be all about great food, good company, and zero stress about what’s on your plate. The good news? Eating plant-based on game day is easier (and more delicious) than ever. With the right snacks, dips, and mains, you can throw an epic vegan Super Bowl party or navigate a not-so-vegan-friendly one like a pro.

From planning the perfect lineup of crowd-pleasing bites to bringing a dish that even the meat-eaters will love, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re feeding a group or just making sure you have solid snack options at someone else’s party, here’s how to make sure your game-day food is a guaranteed win.

If You’re Hosting a Vegan Super Bowl Party:

  • Stack your snack table with variety. A mix of crispy, cheesy, hearty, and fresh keeps things exciting—think buffalo cauliflower wings, pizza rolls, and a big hummus board.
  • Make dips the MVP. Creamy white bean dip, guacamole, vegan queso—these are the snacks people gather around. More dips = more happy snackers.
  • Have a solid main dish. A pot of chili, a build-your-own nacho bar, or epic vegan sliders will keep guests satisfied beyond just grazing.
  • Keep drinks flowing. Stock up on beer, mocktails, sparkling water, or whatever fits the vibe. Bonus points for a themed drink!
  • Go for easy-to-eat desserts. Brownies, cookies, and no-bake treats are perfect for grabbing between plays.
  • Label the food. Even if everything is vegan, simple labels help guests know what’s what and get them excited to try it.

If You’re a Vegan Guest at a Super Bowl Party:

  • Bring a dish that’ll win people over. Buffalo cauliflower wings, loaded potato skins, or a killer dip blend right in with the usual game-day eats.
  • Eat a little before you go. If you’re unsure about options, having a small meal beforehand ensures you’re not stuck with just chips and salsa.
  • Scope out the table. Chips and guac, veggie trays, popcorn, and pretzels are usually safe bets.
  • Pack a backup snack. A protein bar or nuts in your bag can be a lifesaver if options are slim.
  • If you’re unsure, ask. Most hosts are happy to point out plant-based options—or even tweak something last-minute.

Super Bowl Sunday is all about good food and good company—so whether you’re hosting or just showing up, you’ll be more than ready to eat well and enjoy the game. And now, let’s talk game-day eats—because no Super Bowl party is complete without an epic spread.
