Here are my 5 favourite guilt-free Halloween (or anytime) treats to enjoy, without feeling bad, all coming in under 150 calories.
5) 150 calories – 16 Sour Patch Kids. Also my favourite movie snack, you’ll gobble up 16 fairly quickly as they are quite small and the sourness is highly addictive. Have a glass of H2O along with this to avoid going over board.
4) 84 calories – 2 Dove Dark Chocolate Promises. You get the benefit of dark chocolate’s antioxidants all while satisfying that sweet-tooth.
3) 100 calories – My favourite chocolate, two and a half mini Reese’s cups (hate to admit I have eaten an entire tray of the big-size one too many times) or two mini bite-size Snicker’s bars.
2) 50 calories – Pucker-up for two Hershey’s kisses (plain or almond) or get your tootsie roll on with two mini Tootsie rolls.
1) 125 calories – Trick-or-Trail Mix. A DIY treat that you can put together on your own. I make enough for the entire month (you can prepare weekly if you prefer) that way I always have a healthy treat in my desk, purse, gym-bag and even in my son’s diaper bag.
Recipe: Mix 10 raw almonds, 1 tbsp raw sunflower seeds, 1 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds, 1 tsp cacao nibs, 1 tbsp goji berries and 1 tsp unsweetened shredded coconut. Bundle them up into individual snack-pack bags. Delicious, nutritious and guilt-free anytime of year!
