Healthier Desserts:
- Chocolate Covered Fruit - Chocolate is far from the healthiest dessert, but it's a great way to get kids to eat fruits like strawberries and bananas.
- Yogurt - Top plain yogurt with granola, nuts and fruit. Just make sure that your yogurt is low in sugar. Many yogurts that are marketed to kids are actually very high in sugar.
- Baked Apple - This treat is perfect for fall. Stuff the apples with oats, nuts and honey for sweetness.
- Apples & Nut Butter - Sliced apple wedges with peanut butter or other nut butter is a healthy snack choice.
- Candy Corn Fruit Cocktail - Layer pineapples and oranges in a cup topped with whipped cream for a healthier Halloween themed cup.
If you opt for more traditional desserts like cakes and cookies, choose options that are low in sugar and don't forget to brush your teeth afterwards! For more healthy snacks, check out these articles on Greatist and Brit + Co.
