Incorporating fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grain and high protein options are great ways to make treats both kids and adults will love. Here are a few of my favorite festive, yet healthy, treats.1. Fruit Monsters:Who said fruit can’t be spooky?! Slice apples or bananas and use nut butter to “glue” on googly candy eyes or stick a few raisins and sunflower seeds to create funny faces. These fruit monsters are packed with vitamins, fiber, and healthy fats - perfect for a fun, balanced snack.2. Dark Chocolate-Covered Pretzels:Whole grain pretzels dipped in antioxidant rich dark chocolate make the perfect salty, sweet, and crunchy snack. This classic treat can be dressed up by drizzling some festive sprinkles or chopped nuts on top.3. Pumpkin Yogurt Parfaits:Create a tasty parfait by layering plain Greek yogurt, followed by pumpkin puree (add a little honey if you like it a little sweeter), a dash of cinnamon, and granola. Greek yogurt is loaded with protein, while pumpkin provides fiber and vitamin A. It’s a fun way to satisfy sweet cravings without going overboard on sugar.Getting You Back To The Things You Love, FASTER!Physical Therapy & Sports RehabYour premier physical therapy provider for one -on-one care.www.promotionpt-sa.com5 locations serving San Antonio & surrounding areas 210-257-8272October 2024www.stoneoakhighlights.com7drum major.
