3 Healthy Treats For A Guilt-Free Halloween

Halloween is right around the corner and for many people, it is the most wonderful time of the year. Whether you are looking forward to reruns of classic horror flicks or winning this year’s costume contest, there is no denying the fact that one of the best parts of the season is getting to enjoy all the sweet treats. 

There are so many treats to choose from. You could pick from chocolate or other candy that is so popular among trick-or-treaters or you can choose the healthier options of candied apples or chocolate-covered fruits. 

What is important to remember when it comes to indulging in Halloween treats is the fact that moderation is key. A chocolate bar here or a small serving of candy there should not be too big of an issue. 

The problem usually comes when you take too much. All the sugar, processed carbohydrates, and artificial sweeteners will wreak havoc on your brain, gut, and entire body. However, if you are looking for creative ways to incorporate healthier treats into your Halloween celebrations, it is absolutely possible! In fact, we have 3 delicious and nutritious Halloween treats for you to try this year (check them out, below!). 

But before we dive in… let us tell you about our favorite ingredient for making sure your Halloween treats pack a nutritional punch. What is that ingredient? Organic Wild Microalgae®, of course!

What is Organic Wild Microalgae? 

Organic Wild Microalgae, scientifically known as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), is a rare form of freshwater blue-green algae that can only be found in Klamath Lake in Southern Oregon. What is even more impressive is that this form of blue-green algae is also one of the most nutritionally rich superfoods on the market today. With all 20 standard amino acids, 13 vitamins, over 60 trace minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and more–it really is a near-perfect superfood. With such a robust nutritional profile, organic Wild Microalgae is the perfect secret ingredient to add to all your Halloween treats. 

1. Chocolate, Fruit, and Nut Bites

This sweet treat is perfect for a quick pick-me-up during your Halloween celebrations. The dark chocolate and dried fruits are fantastic sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants while nuts provide plenty of protein and essential fatty acids. Top them with the organic Wild Microalgae found in Wild Algae Blend and you have a nutritious and filling holiday treat. 

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup dark chocolate
  • ½ cup of nuts of your choice (almonds, cashews, or peanuts work best)
  • ⅓ cup dried fruit of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon Wild Algae Blend
  • Salt and sugar to taste (optional)

Directions

  1. Melt dark chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally so the chocolate does not burn
  2. Once melted, use a small ladle or spoon to pour chocolate onto parchment paper so they will make flat discs when they cool.
  3. Add your choice of nuts and dried fruit to the top of each chocolate disc.
  4. Allow 10 minutes to cool, then sprinkle Wild Algae Blend on top.
  5. Let them sit for 2 to 3 hours before stacking. 

2. Algae Monster Smoothie

Who doesn’t like a good smoothie? To make it even better, this nutrient-packed green smoothie is perfect for making a spooky Halloween drink. Simply use a marker or other craft supplies to create a face on a clear cup. When the green smoothie is added, it will instantly turn this healthy drink into a spooky Halloween monster. 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup spinach 
  • 1 cup mango
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1 tablespoon Wild Algae Blend

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. 
  2. If needed, add extra almond milk or water to assist with blending. 

3. Apple and Peanut Butter Monster Slices

Kids and adults alike will love snacking on these delicious monster mouths made out of apple slices. Any apples will do for these delicious treats, but green apples tend to look more like monsters. What’s even better is that you have the ability to get creative when you add the Wild Algae Blend. You can either add it to the peanut butter to give the monster’s mouth a green tint or sprinkle it directly on the apple for an entirely green appearance.  

Ingredients

  • 3 Crisp Apples (quartered)
  • Peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon Wild Algae Blend for every 1 apple
  • Pomegranate seeds or sunflower seeds

Directions

  1. Quarter apples and lay on a baking sheet.
  2. Smear peanut butter on the apple skin to create a mouth.  
  3. Sprinkle Wild Algae Blend onto each peanut butter mouth or directly onto the apple slices. 
  4. Add sunflower seeds or pomegranate seeds to create teeth. 
  5. Bonus tip, a strawberry slice makes a great monster tongue.
