Halloween is just around the corner! Whether or not your kids can, or you even want them to, partake in trick or treating this year, we thought it would be a nice gesture to continue the tradition of our healthy Halloween Bags so that us wholefood mamas can at least offer our kids a nourishing and delicious alternative to all of the toxic conventional junk on offer.
My philosophy is this: This is not about deprivation! This is about healthy swaps!! Yes! Healthy swaps that are just as, if not more, delicious than artificial crap, and are made with nutrient dense ingredients that are actually GOOD FOR CHILDREN, and that don’t leave a trail of learning, behavioural, digestive and skin issues in their wake after consumption <<loud clapping, cheering, fireworks>>
With the above in mind, a few years I decided to take matters into my own hands and provide my community with a healthy Halloween trick or treat bag. They went down a treat (excuse the pun) and parents loved them! Why? Because we are not afraid to start a ripple effect that demonstrates:
1. As parents we care about what goes into our children's bodies
2. We are fed up with the toxic crap that gets dolled out to our kids in the name of “treats”
3. Kids are happy to eat healthy treats, without all the toxic ingredients, if we just offer it to them. If more and more parents take this stand then healthy becomes the normal, and toxic becomes the extreme. Hooray!
