Halloween is a fast-paced night and can leave the adults exhausted from all of the trick-or-treating. However, there are some great alternatives to candy that will keep both kids and adults happy on this spooky holiday!
Apples
If you’re looking to avoid candy this Halloween, apples are a great option. They’re delicious, healthy and easy to carry around.
The trick with apples is choosing the right kind of apple for the event. If you want something that’s going to last for a long time, choose an apple that’s harder than others—like Granny Smith or Fuji. However, you can also opt for smaller apples if you want something more portable—try Braeburns or Galas if you don’t need your candy alternative to last more than a few days!
Chocolate raisins
Raisins have a lower glycemic index than many other dried fruits and are high in fiber and iron. They also contain potassium, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C—which makes them an excellent snack choice during Halloween season!
To make these raisins even tastier, add some dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs to the mix. You’ll still get all of the benefits of raisins while adding some extra nutrients that will help keep your body running smoothly on Halloween night.
Strawberries
A better option for parents looking to avoid candy, fruit is a great alternative this Halloween. Strawberries are especially good for the trick-or-treaters in your life with food allergies. These sweet berries are high in fiber and vitamin C, which helps fight off infections and boost your immune system. They’re also rich in antioxidants, making them a great addition to any diet!
If you have kids who don’t like eating their vegetables or if you find yourself without time during the holiday rush, strawberries can be eaten right out of hand or served over ice cream as an added treat at parties!
Frozen yogurt
Speaking of ice cream, if you’re looking for a healthier alternative then frozen yogurt or gelato is the way to go. A good source of calcium, protein and probiotics that can help your digestive system stay healthy (and prevent bloating!), frozen yogurt is low in sugar and fat. The only trick might be finding one that isn’t loaded with artificial colors or flavors—but if you do, then you’ve got yourself a sweet treat that’s good for your body too! Try handing out coupons for these treats.
Small toys, like erasers or parachute men
In addition to treats, think outside of the consumables category. To avoid the risk of kids being allergic to nuts, gluten or dairy, you can give small toys instead. These can be purchased at dollar stores in bulk and are often available in packs of five or ten. Another option is to include a note with your gift that says “Have a Happy Halloween!”
Candy is not the only option on Halloween.
Candy is not the only option on Halloween. You may be surprised to learn that there are many other options that are actually healthier than candy, including apples, chocolate covered raisins, strawberries and frozen yogurt. In addition to being healthier, these alternatives can be just as fun as candy!
If you’re looking for a healthy treat this Halloween but still want to participate in the festivities of trick-or-treating with your kids or friends, consider some of these alternatives.
