Fun Halloween treats made healthy!

Halloween is all about SUGAR! But does it have to be that way? Kids care about FUN above all things, so let’s try to focus on the fun while keeping our kids healthy!

We’ve collected some of the cutest, spookiest, silliest halloween snacks we could find that will make your kids super excited because they’re fun, not super wound up because of too much sugar running through their systems!

Green grapes & marshmallow eyes OK, The marshmallows aren’t technically healthy, but we think that the grapes make up for it…a little bit at least. (draw the face on the outside of the cup)Screen Shot 2017-10-30 at 10.41.20 PM.png

Fruit can be just as sweet as any candy yet still gives your little ones nutrients! grape “spider eggs”, Apples on a stick-ditch the messy caramel & draw a frankenstein face on the wrapper! Wrap an orange up like a mummy or draw jack o’lantern faces on orange fruit cups!
