The time of year that goblins, ghosts, and all other creepy crawlies come to life. What to do about all the parties and candy is an entirely different story. You could just go with the flow and eat all the candy you want, but that would make you feel bad and probably have another guilt trip. Instead, fight back and have the most fun and good times possible with your Halloween.
With just a few changes, you can create plenty of delicious snacks that will fit your theme perfectly. You might not even want some candy after you get a few of these ideas made. You'll be thinking that you can enjoy your entire Halloween without all the stress of staring down sugar everyday.
The best thing to do is make your own snacks. When you make your own snacks, you control exactly what's in them and you get to control what you'll be eating. If you make them a day or two before you need them, you'll be ready to deal with any parties or trick-or-treaters that come your way.
Baked apple slices with cinnamon and a sprinkling of sugar can change your menu. You can even give them a fun name like troll fingers. Make things a little fancier if you want by adding some nutmeg or clove. The point is to take a basic snack and put your own twist on it. You don't have to get fancy if you don't want to.
Frozen grapes are another great trick. You just peel some green grapes before you freeze them and you'll have some eyeballs to use for ice cubes. A simple drink mix is ginger ale and white grape juice. You can put the grapes in the drinks to make floating eyeballs. Now you have that Halloween flair for any drink.
If you have to go to a party, one of the easiest tricks is to eat a large snack before you go. By eating at home, you won't have all the cravings that happen when you're hungry. When you stop your hunger from making the decisions, you will have an easier time picking healthy snacks. It will be much easier to go home at the end of the night knowing that you had fun and still took care of your body.
With just a little preparation and thinking things through before they happen, you'll be on the right track to cruise through Halloween without any problems. So go have fun with all your friends and feel good knowing that you're going to be making all the smart decisions so you feel great at the end of the day. There's nothing better than knowing that you finished what you set out to do in the first place. You can take care of yourself and have fun at Halloween all at the same time.
