5 Tips For a Healthy Halloween
The Halloween season means pumpkin carving, having fun in costume, and of course, a plethora of sugary temptations.
Try some of these tips for balancing out the candy overload while still enjoying the Fall festivities.
1. Cook with pumpkin.
*We love using pumpkin in soups and baked goods.
Try this butternut squash soup recipe and substitute pumpkin for a fall treat.
2. Make your own healthy treats.
*Some of our favorites include apple nut butter and frozen banana boo pops.
3. Get creative at home for Halloween.
*Make a dinner where all the elements are Halloween themed or have a spooky crafts party.
4. Stay well hydrated.
*Make water the drink of choice and pair it with every meal and snack. A good goal to aim for is half your bodyweight in ounces of water each day.
5. Limit leftover candy.
*Choose 5-10 pieces to save and then get rid of the rest. Many dentist offices in the area will take your leftover candy in exchange for cash.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
