Anyone have some ideas and recipes for playoff munchies that are heart friendly and cholesterol free?

My dad has to go for bypass surgery and as a result he has completely re-vamped his diet to avoid all the bad things and get more of the good things that he’s supposed to be eating. But, we’re watching my cousin play in the play-offs (hockey) and my dad can’t partake in our buttery popcorn and cheesy nachos. What else is there?
