Healthy Halloween Food Ideas
I think we all tend to associate Halloween with candy and other sugary treats but who says healthy can’t still be fun? If you’re looking for some ways to balance out those sugar highs, here are some {relatively!} healthy options for you. They’re perfect for Halloween parties, class treats, or just having some Halloween fun with your kiddos! Check out all of these healthy Halloween food ideas…
Healthy Halloween Snacks
These Halloween snacks would be fun for an after school snack. They’re also a perfect healthy option to add to a Halloween food table or serve at class parties.
Cheese and Pretzel Witches’ Brooms from Cocinando con Catman
Silly Monster Apple Bites from Fork and Beans.
Healthy Halloween Lunch and Dinner Ideas
I’ve always done a couple of Halloween lunches or dinners each season with the kids. They’re fun to do after coming home from the pumpkin patch, before a night of carving pumpkins, or even to eat while you’re watching a Halloween movie. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Even taking out some Halloween cookie cutters and just cutting up a few of your regular ingredients can increase that Halloween spirit! Here are a few fun and healthy Halloween lunch and dinner ideas…
Guacamole Vampires from Fork and Beans
Candy corn fruit platter from Clean and Scentsible.
Healthy Halloween Drink Ideas
Don’t forget a little drink to wash it all down! Stay away from soda with these healthier Halloween drink options…
Goblin Potion from Clean and Scentsible
Ghost milk from Clean and Scentsible. You could also use a few droops of red and yellow food coloring in the milk to make jack-o-lantern cups or use orange juice.
I hope you enjoy all of these healthy {or at least healthier!} Halloween options. Use them for inspiration and have fun coming up with your own. Kids are usually all over this and it can be a great way to get them to try a few new food options. There are also lots of different food substitutions that you can come up with if you know the original recipe is not going to fly! Let me know what you come up with!
Very nice pictures and a lot of inspiration! Like to make this.
What are the “ties” on the cheese/pretzel witches broom? LOVE them!
The ties are fresh chives. I thought that they were really cute too!

Hi. Can you tell me what the witches brooms are made from on the Roll-up recipes. I know they are toothpicks, but I can’t tell what the “straw” part would be. Thanks
I think it is just pieces of raffia that are tied onto the toothpick with an elastic band. 🙂
