Try These Adult Halloween Treats

Who says we can’t have grownup fun enjoying Halloween treats?

IN MODERATION, that is!

Sure, you can enjoy a bit of candy now and then. Allow yourself a small piece or two, enjoy it slowly and mindfully, then have a glass of water and move on with your day.

But better yet, there are adult treats that you can enjoy more heartily – and without fear of overindulging in sugar-packed junk food.

Sample these candy alternatives during this super-sweet season.

1. Try dark chocolate squares, 70% or higher. They’re rich in antioxidants and lower in sugar than milk chocolate. Break off one or two small squares to get that chocolate fix without overdoing it.
2. Apple slices with peanut butter (no sugar added). The apple offers fiber, and the peanut butter has healthy fats. If you measure a serving (usually 2 tbsp), you’re fine. 
3. Homemade energy bites. These are fun to make with kids – oats, nut butter, a little honey, and all the benefits of fiber, protein, and a little sweetness.
4. When air-popped, homemade popcorn is a whole grain that’s high in fiber and low in calories. Measure out a serving and stick to it.
5. Mixed nuts are a good choice. You could even get a mix of dried fruit or a little chocolate. Check the macros on the nutrition label to make the right choice.  

Like all holidays, Halloween is supposed to be fun. With a little planning and thoughtfulness, you can enjoy it as much as ever.

And don’t forget to move every day, too!
