"An apple a day keeps the doctor away," so the time worn adage goes, comes adapted from the old English phrase, "To eat an apple before going to bed, will make the doctor beg for his bread." Full of antioxidants, vitamin C and fiber might lend some truth to the old saying. Certainly regular consumption of fruits and vegetables including apples can lead to a much healthier body and cut down on doctors' visits. Unfortunately Halloween doesn't usually lend itself to fruit, vegetables and healthy eating. How about this?
Try these treats instead of the usual Halloween faire. Apple picking, candied apples, apple muffins, cookies or snack bars instead of the usual Halloween faire. Apples can be a nice alternative with less than 100 calories in each medium sized apples. Other ways to enjoy this fall fruit:
- Slice an apple and enjoy it with peanut butter
- Spread apple butter on a whole grain cracker
- Sip some apple cider - hot or cold
- Savor applesauce bread, cake or a muffin
Apples are in season so enjoy them while you can.
Happy, Healthy, Halloween!
