OCTOBER GREEN TIP - HALLOWEEN TREATS THAT WILL NOT MAKE YOU FEEL GHOULISH

For the imperfect among us (and who isn't?) Halloween kicks off the cycle of the annual fall/winter slide into debauchery.

But extra weight, sugar highs/crashes, and hating yourself doesn't have to happen. Really.

For Halloween, there are plenty of treats that will make both kids and moms happy.
Note: If your children have any allergies, such as peanuts or soy, or sugar concerns, be sure to read labels for everything you purchase.

Check these out:
TOP TEN HAPPY HALLOWEEN TREATS
(Individual wrapping for all - not green, but safe)
1) Stretch Island Fruit Leather
2) Organic Gummy Bears
3) Popcorn packages
4) Organic Lollipops
5) Potato chips or pretzel bags
6) Juice boxes
7) Jerky
8) Cliff bars (or other energy bars)
9) Nuts or sunflower seeds, bare or yogurt covered
10)Mini organic chocolate bars

And two bonus treat ideas for the creative:
1) Homemade trail mix
2) Homemade cupcakes

These treats can take some of the work out of Halloween so everyone can think about their costumes.....
