🎃 Halloween Alternatives

Healthy Halloween Tips

Halloween doesn't have to be a scary time of the year when you are working towards a health goal. Here are some ways you can enjoy the occasion and not be overwhelmed with the selection of treats on offer.

• Prepare your own treats so you can see what goes into them instead of relying on store-bought sweets overloaded with refined sugar.
• Use Calocurb to help keep your candy consumption in check. While using Calocurb, the urge to binge on snacks will decrease, allowing you to enjoy a couple of small treats at a time.

Keto Avocado Brownies Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 9)

• 4 large eggs
• 2 ripe avocados
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 6 tbsp unsweetened peanut butter
• 2 tsp baking soda
• ⅔ cup coconut sugar
• ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ tsp salt
• Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180 °C and line a square pan with parchment paper. In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients except the flaky sea salt and blend until smooth. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using.
2. Bake until brownies are soft but not wet to the touch, about 20–25 minutes. Let cool for 25–30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Trick-or-Treat & Recovery Tips

• Hold off opening candy bags until trick-or-treaters arrive to avoid pre-snacking or running out of candy.
• Remember – it's just one day of the year. If you do overindulge, that's okay. Plan a tasty, nutritious meal over the weekend to get back on track once the festivities are over.
