The Halloween season is fast approaching. It is the time of the year again when horror and mystery will be equated to fun. During this season, you will be able to see kids in different costumes ramming on the streets and asking for some treats from door to door. But this can be concerning since this is also the time when kids can have unlimited access to sweets. Sweets made of nothing but sugar, sugar, and more sugar! So if you want to celebrate the ghoulish season - the healthy way, here are some healthy treat ideas for Halloween.
Since kids wont really like the idea of vegetables, make some treats made of fruit. Fruits are way healthier compared to candies and some other fattening treats. One example is to make watermelon brains. All you need to have is a small piece of seedless watermelon and a carving knife. This is a very spooky yet nice idea to serve to guests in a Halloween party. Simply peel of the green skin. Then score the white part of the melon with a knife to replicate a human brain. Then carve the pith off to reveal the watermelon's reddish flesh.
Another spooky yet healthy treats idea for Halloween is to prepare Boo-nanas! Peel some bananas and dip it in orange juice. After that, roll it on a plate full of shredded coconuts to make it appear like ghosts. To add more effect, put some raisins or chocolate chips for the eyes. Then insert some wooden stick for a handle. It is best served frozen.
Another idea is to make some witches' teeth. All you have to do is core and quarter an apple, carefully take the wedge from the skin side to form a mouth. Use some slivered almonds and place it inside for the teeth.
Halloween is a part of a kid's life that is going to be cherished for the rest of his or her life. So make sure that he is going to enjoy it the healthy way! For recipes like this and other secret restaurant recipes check out the other great recipe ideas on this site.
