You don’t often hear the phrase “healthy Halloween.” Ask kids what their favorite part of Halloween is and most of them will answer “CANDY!”.
Truth be told, this mom has a pretty demanding sweet tooth so I too look forward to some sweet treats this time of year. Like most holidays, Halloween has expanded to be more than a day-long celebration.
As I walk through my neighborhood and see house after house decorated with cobwebs, Happy Halloween flags, and skeletons dangling from trees, I realize that Halloween is now celebrated throughout the month of October. That’s a LOT of candy.
So, whether you are helping out with a party at school, hosting one at home, or just enjoy celebrating this fun holiday with your family, I wanted to give you some non-candy treats you can enjoy so that you can still fit into your costume on Halloween and have strong, healthy teeth to tackle those Bit-O-Honeys. Here are some of the best healthy Halloween treats.
Dinner Ideas

Here are some fun Halloween-themed meals to serve up in honor of this spooky holiday. Okay, these aren’t the healthiest choices out there, but they are kid-friendly! The list gets healthier as we go on, I promise.

These are all soo great! I think I found my fave but there are tons of choices! The taco .. the finger .. the spider … yikes! So awesome!
Too freaky cool!! Especially the yellow and orange peppers – Love the fruit spider too. How creative!!
I love the cheese stick fingers! And how great that these are all healthy Halloween treats (all the ones my family loves are not healthy). I’m pinning now.
Such great fun ideas–LOVE the veggie skeleton!!!
I love all of these ideas! I am a candy lover, but should not be, so I will try to incorporate some of these great recipes into my everyday meals! I bet kids would love to open their lunch box and see some of these cute treats!

The Taco Monsters look yummy! 🙂
I love the juice box, banana and orange ideas. I will be using these for my daycare kiddos for Halloween. Thanks for sharing!
Those are all really inventive and could stop some of the candy gouging from all us candy holics. Love that veggie skeleton-not that I could make it-but if I saw it somewhere I would probably buy it for a party!
