Go Nuts for Nuts!
Embrace Halloween tonight & make it work for you!
Want the Halloween treats without the sugar rollercoaster - especially if you’re navigating midlife? These quick, delicious swaps - starring protein-rich nuts deliver real satisfaction and steady energy while keeping all the spooky fun!
Why bother with ‘Smart swaps’ at Halloween?
Because ‘just one’ mini bar rarely feels like one, (especially in my house!) and the sugar rollercoaster can crash your evening. If you’re navigating midlife shifts, small upgrades make a big difference: more protein and fibre, steadier energy, and treats that actually satisfy.
If you’re not sure where to start, nuts is a great place! There are the tiny powerhouses your snack bowl needs. Packet with health fat, fibre and protein, they’ll keep you feeling fuller for longer, reduce blood sugar spikes, and support your gut health. They’re also packed with micronutrients including magnesium, vitamin E and potassium which support muscle function, skin, and overall vitality. If you or guests have nut allergies, swap in seeds (pumpkin/sunflower) and keep nut items clearly labelled.
Try some of these this evening and your future self will thank you later!
Instead of a bowl of only sweets, do a 50/50 mix: fun-size chocolate plus mini packs of Forest Feast slow-roasted nuts. Think “pick ’n’ mix” but grown-up!
Slice apples, swipe with almond or peanut butter, and press into crushed nuts. Drizzle a little melted dark chocolate. Kid magic, adult satiety.
Mix air-popped corn with Forest Feast roasted nuts and a few dark chocolate chips. Add a sprinkle of orange/black decorations for Halloween flair without turning it into pure sugar.
Build a platter with a mix of nuts, cheddar, grapes, apple slices, olives, and squares of dark chocolate. Add a pot of chilli-lime salt for nut-dipping. It looks luxe, eats balanced.
Mix plain Greek yoghurt, cinnamon, a teaspoon of honey, and a handful of chopped roasted nuts. It’s the pre-party protein anchor that stops late-night rummaging.
Small upgrades, big payoff. Try a couple of these tonight and toast to a happier, steadier tomorrow!
