Costumes, and candy, and sugar! Oh my! That’s what comes to my mind when I think about Halloween. Children enjoy dressing up as their favorite characters, going door to door in the neighborhood, and filling a bag or bucket with candy. But with all that candy comes a lot of sugar. Children in the US consume up to 17% of sugar in their diet daily. Sugar is often hidden in packaged foods and drinks and is highly processed. It is often labeled with different names like high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, honey detoxes raw sugar, and other names. Candy is a known culprit for its high sugar content. Too much sugar, especially in young children, can lead to issues with obesity, tooth decay, diabetes, and other health problems down the road.
In lieu of a bucket of candy, here are some healthy Halloween-themed snacks you can make with your children that don’t require baking:
There are many healthy options to enjoy the Halloween holiday. Find a snack that uses your child’s favorite foods and involve them in the prep. Make multiple to pass out in their classroom or to passing trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween!
