Rachel’s Guide to Clean Halloween Candy
Happy Fall, CRUSHers! 🍃🍁🌿🍂
I don’t know about you, but I’m really looking forward to all the lovely holidays that come this time of year. One, in particular, is Halloween! Unfortunately, these celebrations tend to come with less-than-ideal food choices, which can be discouraging when trying to make healthier decisions.
Thankfully, there are still SO many awesome ways to enjoy and celebrate every holiday or important event you have to look forward to! Clean Eating does not mean missing out on delicious foods and fun treats.
In fact, if you love to eat your favorite traditional candy or treat this season, then go for it! We here at Clean Food Crush believe entirely in the importance and power of moderation. Indulging in a tasty snack while celebrating Halloween doesn’t mean undoing all of your progress or “failing.” Eating clean and living a healthy lifestyle does not mean having an all-or-nothing mindset. We believe in tasty food, enjoying occasional treats, and indulging on holidays. So, I encourage you to go ahead and treat yourself to a favorite candy if you’re so inclined!
This specific article is for those requesting some better candy recommendations. If that’s you, and you’re looking for healthier alternatives to the classic Halloween candies, then I hope this list is exactly what you need!
Most candy on the shelves is loaded with preservatives, excess sugars, and artificial colors that can negatively impact your health. It makes sense that some of us would feel overwhelmed or discouraged when surrounded by these candies, thinking we’ll be missing out. But in reality, enjoying the upcoming holidays is more than possible while still sticking to health goals and practicing clean eating!
I’ve compiled a short and efficient list of 14 clean, delicious candy options you can easily purchase from Amazon and have shipped to your door! All the candies on the list are as natural as I could find, with no artificial colorings, extra preservatives, less sugar, and gluten-free + dairy-free options, just in case your family has allergies.
