Don’t Be Spooked By Halloween Sweets

It’s that time of the year again! Salty treats, sugary sweets and fattening eats are the main course for Halloween. But these foods can be terrifying to your healthy diet. Doesn’t that give you the spooks?

Even scarier is that childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years, increasing by 20% in children aged 6-11. Type II Diabetes has been on the rise since the early 2000s and shows no signs of slowing. So take control of your kids’ diet and ensure they’re making healthy decisions this Halloween.

To get you started on the right foot, we’ve got a few healthy snack ideas that will keep the sugar goblins at bay.

For a healthier snack, try these yummy apple bites:
