Healthy Halloween Treats for kid Halloween parties can be super simple and super cute! We know this season is full of temptation—snacking on candy every other minute. Even if you do not have the will power of a saint, you can still do damage control with throwing in a few "healthier" options when it comes to celebrating the holiday. And we want to show you how! Most of our Clean Kitchen coaches are moms; and we believe in teaching our kids that eating whole foods is an every-type-of-meal occurrence. So our holidays are no different. We are not crazy-control-freaks when it comes to candy on the holidays, but we do set boundaries to keep the damage to a minimum—for mom and kiddos!

Rule 1: Add in the good where you can. Let them have their party treats, but also try to squeeze in some real food. We give some examples below!

Rule 2.1: Our kids do not need an entire trash bag full of candy. We allow them to pick out a portion of their favorites and the rest goes in the trash.

Rule 2.2: Or you can set a time limit. Keep candy around for about 1-2 days and then it goes in the trash.

"Add in the good."

In Clean Kitchen, that is how we coach in our 12 Week Challenge clients. We teach people how to add in the good, no matter what you are eating. Let's face it, kids are going to eat candy! And that is okay in moderation, like for the holidays. But for our kids, we want to keep good habits still in the mix by adding in the good amongst the not-so-good-choices. So, we set out on Pinterest and found some really great kid halloween party treat ideas that do add in the good! Check out our recreations and some super cute models for our sweet treats.
