Top Halloween Resources
Halloween is right around the corner and we want to help you find the best resources for your audience.Halloween can be a tricky time, after all. Abstaining completely from the tricks and treats of the holiday can lead to binges down the line, but going full-steam ahead at every special occasion can undermine even the healthiest eating pattern.Moderation is key, and that's easier said than done. Here are some strategies to help your clients and students make this the best Halloween ever...
- Sprinkle in healthful activities: When some of the things you do to celebrate Halloween are also good for you, you free up some room for fun size candies or your favorite treats. Carve jack-o-lanterns, put up Halloween decorations, or walk the neighborhood to how everyone is celebrating this year. You could even join a Halloween 5k near you!
- Not all celebrations have to include candy!
- Make a festive witch's hat and you'll have a healthy slaw for a snack or side: Healthful Halloween Snacks: Make a Witch's Hat!
- Or lean into the pumpkin spice with this lightened-up version of Pumpkin Spice Coffee.
