This Halloween, we are not giving out the traditional candy for trick or treaters or our athletes and clients (not that we ever did). However, this year, we are making a special treat for athletes, clients and trick or treaters that will actually give them some great fuel for their minds and bodies at such a pivotal time in their growth and development.
What we are giving them will include per one cup: 8g good fats (mono- and poly- unsaturated fats), 3g saturated fat (which will come from the milk chocolate in the m&m's), 2mg cholesterol (from milk chocolate), 28g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 17g sugar (mainly from milk chocolate and the fruit), 4g protein.
Obviously, as you can see, if you pick out the m&m's, it will be a lot healthier! This power-packed treat has all of the essentials of growth, development, and fuel for the mind and body! Nuts are one of the best and healthiest snacks that you can put in your body. They encompass good fats, carbs, protein and fiber. Dry fruit will give us fiber, good sugars, and vitamins and minerals that are essential to our life. Cheerios give us great carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. This well rounded snack also has 4g of protein to help rebuild and repair our tissues that we break down through activity! All of this is making me hungry! I wish everyone was serving treats like this door to door, I would actually go trick or treating! TRICK OR TREAT, I'm opting for the TREAT!
