Halloween doesn't have to be all about the junk

For health conscious parents Halloween can be a bit of a nightmare.

We want our kids to have fun and enjoy trick or treating with their friends.

But we don't necessarily want them to come home with bags and bags of sweets (candies), chocolates and lollies that are going to last for weeks on end.

The Switch Witch

I've seen some good ideas for managing the overload of Halloween treats.

For example the Switch Witch who comes overnight and swaps the Halloween candy for a toy or book. But I don't really like the waste involved in this - do those sweets end up in landfill or do I have to eat them myself?

various healthy Halloween recipes for kids

I do feel a bit like the Halloween-equivalent of Scrooge to be honest but I'm sure I'm not alone! 

If you're like me and don't love all the junk that comes at this time of year don't worry - there are plenty of ways to enjoy Halloween in a healthy, yet still fun and spooky way.

It is possible to make healthy Halloween treats

The recipes below are from my fellow kid food bloggers and you'll find a mix of ones that are suitable for parties, lunchboxes, snacks and even breakfast - what they have in common is that they are all healthy ways of enjoying Halloween. 

If you're on Instagram then check out the #halloweenfunfoodforkids tag - there are heaps of amazing ideas there. Over on Pinterest I've started a Healthy Halloween recipes board, which I'd love you to check out.
