7 FOR HEALTHY LIVING NOTE FROM YOUR DIETICIAN Halloween is just around the corner! Get ready for costumes, trick-or-treating, and of course a lot of candy! Try some of the following tips to help your kids and the community enjoy Halloween without going overboard on the sweets. Make a plan with your kids before trick-or treating. Discuss spreading the candy over a month or more. Decide how much and what time of day your kids can have a special treat. After trick-or-treating, let your kids choose some of their favorite candy to keep. Consider giving the rest to a local shelter or sending it in care packages to the military serving overseas. Try handing out non-traditional treats that are still enjoyable. Whole-grain Goldfish Fruit snacks made with 100% fruit Mini Rice-Krispie treats Sugar-free gum Animal crackers or mini graham crackers made without trans fat Whole-grain cereal bars made with real fruit Halloween-themed items (stickers, rings, pencils, and tattoos) Another fun tip this Halloween is to keep the pumpkin seeds after carving a jack-o-lantern. The seeds can be toasted for a tasty snack! One ounce of this healthy treat has five grams of protein, five grams of fiber and five grams of fat (four grams unsaturated fat). Toasted Pumpkin Seeds ( Rinse seeds to remove pulp and strings Coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray Spread the seeds on the sheet Bake at 325 F for about 30 minutes or until lightly toasted Stir occasionally while baking Optional: Season with garlic powder, Cajun seasoning or other spices Have a safe and happy Halloween!
