Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Melissa Logan with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week. Halloween is just around the corner, but that doesn’t mean you have to overload on candy!
- Dark chocolate is a great alternative to milk chocolate—it’s lower in sugar and contains antioxidants that benefit your heart health.
- Consider making festive treats like “apple monster mouths” or “banana ghosts” using fruits and a little
dark chocolate or nut butter. - Balance out Halloween indulgences by eating treats alongside a healthy snack like veggies and
hummus. - Remember, it’s all about balance—enjoy your treats but make mindful choices to keep your overall
nutrition in mind.
