RACHEL MORROW
Love a treat on Halloween? Us too!
That's why we've been up to our usual tricks and healthified 10 of our favorite spooky treats.
A typical Halloween is sugar-filled and candy-loaded, but with these healthy treats, there's something for everyone, sweet and savory. Plus they're all gluten-free!
Treat your family the healthy way this Halloween with our gluten-free and refined sugar-free recipes that are fun, easy to make and sure to please a crowd. Think of them as your Halloween survival guide!
Remember, as Halloween is a special time of the year for many families we don’t want to take the fun out Halloween but we can learn to minimize the sugar high our children experience by doing something a little different this year like trying some of the healthified treats and alkalizing the body with a green juice.
1. RASPBERRY BLOOD GUMMIES
No need to worry about the fillers and additives in regular, over-processed candies with these quick and simple gummies. Make with grass-fed gelatin, well known for gut healing benefits, or swap for a vegan version using the seaweed agar-agar.
2. CHOCOLATE MOUSSE JACK O’ LANTERNS
Everyone loves the creaminess of chocolate mousse! The kids will love scooping this out of Jack O' Lanterns and won't even realize how healthy this is!
3. CANDY CORN SMOOTHIE
Candy Corn will be scattered everywhere over Halloween! Why not skip the hit of artificial sugar and create these beautiful smoothies, inspired by the Candy Corn, for a healthy Halloween breakfast. The kids will love them, too!
4. CHOCOLATE COATED STRAWBERRY SPIDERS
The combination of strawberries and chocolates is always a winner! Easily converted into a healthy Halloween treat that will be loved by both kids and adults!
5. PUMPKIN PIE CHEESECAKE SLICE
It’s time to embrace the abundance of pumpkins! Pumpkin pie lovers rejoice! We've recreated the humble old favorite into a healthier treat that is nearly raw, but just as yummy!
6. SPOOKY CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
The only thing scary about these gluten-free treats is how scary good they are! A chocolate cupcake that tastes as rich as a brownie and an airy, whipped coconut cream icing; these are sure to be a hit with your family this Halloween!

Pop a bowl of these sweet potato chips out at the Halloween party to break up the sweet treats!

9. QUINOA CHILI IN A PUMPKIN CAULDRON
Chili is an autumn staple in most households. Why not spruce it up a bit for the Halloween season by switching out the con carne for some protein-packed quinoa and put away the slow cooker in replacement for this season's best gourd! Chili in a pumpkin is appealing for the eyes and your taste buds!
