1) Two Quickest Ways to Kill Carb and Sugar Cravings

  • 1-2 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil on tongue or 2-3 drops in water. Bonus, this is also a great natural assist for digestion and fresh breath as well.​
​
  • 1 teaspoon powdered Glutamine under tongue (5 grams) 2-3 day or 2 capsules (2,000 mg) 2-3 x day on empty stomach.

  • See my  Fav Ways to Avoid the Holiday Food & Drink Hangovers for a definitive "how to" on navigating the holidays. Or check out the Four Week Mind Body RE BOOT program for all the support, structure and guidance you need to stay in the flow around the holidays. 

2) 11 Healthy, RE BOOT/Paleo Friendly Candy Recipes  
 
Make any recipe healthier by using using Monk Fruit sweetener (it’s 1:1) whenever you’re baking instead of any other recommended sugars/sweeteners and almond or coconut flours instead of grain flours (including gluten free).



3) Cute & Easy, Healthy Halloween Party Snacks/Treats:
 
Bat Balls
Use raw sheeps milk cheese, flax seeds and glutenfree tortilla chips for an adult and kid friend healthy snack. 

Banana Ghosts and Tangerine Pumpkins

Use chocolate pieces for eyes n’ mouth and celery pieces and leaves for pumpkin stems/leaves.


Witches’ Fingers
  • String cheese is a kid fav and relatively healthy (bonus, not messy:) cut them in half to make them kid-sized.
  • Use the flat side of a knife to make the knuckle marks and shave off just a bit of the cheese at an angle before attaching the almond.
  • Attach slivered almonds with a dab of cream cheese for the nails.

Hot Dog Mummies
My personal  party fav for kids. Cut Pillsbury glutenfree crescent roll dough into thin strips and wrap around Applegate Organic or other healthy hot dogs. Bake according to crescent package directions and use ketchup or mustard for eyes. I cut my hot dogs in half to make them bite-sized.

Apple Witches Teeth from Shape.com. What terrible teeth you have! Apples and slivered almonds form this healthy snack. Have a nut allergy? Use bits of pretzel sticks or even rice crispies to get the same look with no nuts.

String Cheese Witches Brooms from Cocinando Con Catman. String cheese, pretzels  and chives brooms will transport your little witches and warlocks across the moon. These adorable treats would be perfect for a Harry Potter party too.


4) Best/Worst Candy List by Insider.com

Clearly a little candy isn't going to kill ya, but knowing which ones are the least offensive-especially from a sugar grams standpoint-is really key if trying to keep your weight and moods stabilized. There are several healthy and tasty sugar free candies now made with the best plant-based sweeteners like Stevia. But they're expensive for handing out to to hoards of trick-o-treaters. 


​5) Fav Easy Health Nut (corny but cute) Costume - Superfood

from Greatist.com

Sure, dressing up is fun—but you know what’s even more fun? Throwing on an accessory and winning the Halloween costume pun game. This version of a “superfood” is a quick and easy (okay, and last-minute) costume that will be sure to get more than a couple of laughs.
Shop the look:
Hanes T-shirt, $16.93
Topshop Elastic Leggings, $20
Superfly Superhero Cape, $9.99
“Food” on paper, free
