Healthy Halloween Alternatives

I'm a fan of my gym on facebook and they recently posted this: 

Halloween is coming up!! Here are some healthier alternatives to hand out, rather than the more sugary candies. Don't worry, your house won't get egged, they taste delicious!
  1. Dark Chocolate – Everybody loves chocolate and dark chocolate is an excellent source of antioxidants.
  2. Granola bars – This could get a little expensive if you have a lot of trick-or-treaters.
  3. Trail mix
  4. Yogurt or carob covered raisins.
  5. Almonds, Peanuts, or other nut mixes. Peanuts in the shell work great too.
  6. Pretzels
  7. Fruit bars such as Fig Newton’s.
  8. Cheese and cracker packages.
  9. Stickers – All kids love stickers and you can get them at dollar stores fairly inexpensively.
  10. Coloring books or crayons – You can buy these items in bulk fairly reasonably and offering these items may just spark their imagination instead of expanding their waist.
ps: My gym now offers bring your friends for free on the weekends.. next time you come here we are totally going!
