Halloween and Healthy… aren’t they opposites?

Since we strive all year to teach our family how important it is to avoid sugar, what do we do at Halloween time??? WE FIND RECIPES TO REPLACE THE GARBAGE!

Paleo Recipes to the rescue!

Almond cups

 

Last year I was thrilled to find “The Paleo Kid’s Halloween: 15 Delicious Halloween Candies and Treats”. (I have it listed in my recommendations at the lower right. The treats are both healthy and delicious!I made Chocolate covered Marshmellows and Almond Butter Cups last year.

Check out This Year!

choc covered marshmellows yeah

 

This year I made the marshmellows again by request, and the butter cups, but also included a new recipe I found this year… Healthy Snickers bars! snickers inside

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just look at that yumminess! I especially enjoy the chocolate covered fingers giving the thumbs up!

Almond pieces

 

It’s our hope that the boys will enjoy these treats more than the junky garbage they receive while trick or treating. They also are encouraged to bring their Halloween candy home, and if they don’t eat any of it, their mom buys it off of them. They just love this and love getting to buy something in place of all that sugar.

So, if you’re like us and have wonderful memories of Halloween and trick-or-treating, but don’t want your kids to have all that sugar or the health issues that come from it, consider making your own! It’s easy and FUN!!! Makes for a great tradition!!! Oh, and by the way… we won’t be handing out candy this year. Sorry kids… Geoff & I will be hiding in our bedroom, watching movies and eating our goodies!

I encourage you…

Finding Calm

In this life we have so much going on all the time. So much to do, so much to accomplish, so much to experience. We must not forget that we need to maintain balance in order for maintain our health.

Everything in life has a rhythm…

Some rhythms are stress inducing and some are relaxing. I choose today to focus on the relaxing rhythms like that of the ocean. The ocean is a powerful force. And yet is is also a very calming force. You need not worry that the surf will cease, or miss a rotation. It is ever present. The sound is very calming. Empty your mind and focus on the surf as you view this short video clip:

What brings you relief from stress?

Is it the aroma of a scent? or maybe a diversion? I work with many people who struggle at times releasing stress. Find the underlying emotion that is causing the stress and the stress will be easy to release.

We are meant to be wise in caring for our own individual bodies.

Mr Smith

 

You must find what is best for you personally. The only way to truly discover what is best for you is for you to try all methods that come to you. You are constantly bringing to you what your body needs. You are responsible for maintaining your health. A good choice is taking a break ever so often. Personally I really feel recharged when I can get away and force myself to do something different. I spent most of September doing just that. Here is a shot of Mr. Smith enjoying the grounds of our hotel in Hawaii…

So whatever it is, exercise, fun times with friends or even a vacation, schedule in breaks in your normal routine. It’s better for your health!
