Halloween is fast approaching, meaning that candy is everywhere. It’s hard to not want to join in all the fun, so we grabbed the healthiest Halloween candy options from Real Simple so you can have a sweet treat!
Reese’s vs. Snickers: In the fun size version, Snickers contains less fat and saturated fat.
Peanut M&Ms vs. Skittles: Skittles may have less calories, but Peanut M&Ms rate lower on the glycemic index. This means that the sugar will be released more slowly into your body and leave you satisfied for a longer period of time.
Milky Way vs. Pay Day: Go for the Milky Way! Milky Way has 50 percent of the fat and sodium of Pay Day.
Carmel Apples vs. Candy Apples: This is a trick! These treats are both pretty good for you in comparison to other candies. They both have fiber because of the apple, although Candy Apples are typically slightly lower in calories (about 70 calories less) than Carmel Apples.
Be sure to have some Cascade Ice to substitute soda and other sugary drinks this Halloween. Orange Mango and the Apple Tini Mixer can make for some ghoulishly fun party drinks!

Snacking can definitely help you get through the day and ensure you don’t overeat at meals, but finding healthy snacks can be tricky. It’s hard to avoid the sugary treats that line grocery shelves and office vending machines.
Healthy snacking can be easy! Just follow these tips:
- Make sure what you grab is actually snack size. A snack should be 100 – 200 calories.
- Try grabbing something that has protein or complex carbohydrates to help you feel full longer.
- Be sure to get single serving bags so you don’t overeat!
- Change it up! Don’t snack on the same thing every day.
- Make sure to grab some water, or a 2-calorie Cascade Ice. It’s better than wasting calories on soda or sports drinks.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have decided to arm you with the best tips for lowering your cancer risk.
- Avoid smoking and other smokers. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, but the less time you spend around cigarettes the less likely you are to develop lung cancer.
- Limit your alcohol intake. One too many can leave you prone to breast and colon cancer.
- Move for 30 minutes a day. This can really help keep you heart healthy and lower your cancer risk.
- Wear sunscreen everyday, no matter the season. Even during fall and winter you can be susceptible to skin cancer, so layer on that SPF!
- Be sure to drink lots of water! You can always grab a Cascade Ice Ultra Pure Water to keep you healthy and hydrated.
You can find more tips for lowering your cancer risk at Self.com.
