Nutrition can be easily overlooked during a holiday best known for its abundance of candy and sugary treats. That is a shame, since about 1 in 5 school-aged children are obese, according to the CDC. This Halloween, consider being the one house on the block that offers healthy trick-or-treat alternatives.
Here are some store-bought snacks that can double as trick-or- treat offerings:
- Dried fruit
- Sugar-free gum
- Pretzels
- Juice boxes
- Snack crackers
- Apples
- Fruit bars
- Cheese sticks
