Trick of Treat?

It's pumpkin season!  When carving up your jack-o-lanterns remember to save the seeds which contain important zinc and magnesium.  They also have 5g of protein and fiber per ounce.  For a tasty treat sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon/salt and a pinch of chili powder.  Cook in the oven at 325 degrees for about 10mins, cool and enjoy! 



Want a sweeter treat?  Here are some options for candy at the 150 calorie mark, just beware of those tricky fat grams:


3 Peppermint Patties (+3g fat which is healthier than Butterfingers)
3 mini Twix (+8g fat which is healthier than Kit Kats)
6 mini 3 Musketeers (146 cal +4g fat)
2 fun size M&M's (147 cal +7g fat)
6 Dum Dum pops
3 treat size box Nerds
6 rolls of Smarties (healthier than SweeTarts)
7 Hershey kisses (156 +9g fat)
5 snack size strawberry flavored Twizzlers (+1g fat)


Test more treat knowledge and see how health savvy you are!
