Go ‘Green’ this Halloween with a Healthy, Environmentally Friendly, Low Carbon Footprint Treat for the Kiddies!

Does my title sound like an oxymoron?

Halloween is surely the dentist’s nightmare and what parent wants their kids to have a 3 months supply of sugar laden candies. I remember my kids coming home on a sugar high, showing me their pillowcases filled with loot from Trick or Treating and I could only try to hide away a portion when they weren’t looking then dole it out over the next several months.

What were the people who gave out that junk thinking? I always tried to give something fun or useful along with a chocolate bar – like a Halloween pencil or stickers. And, I loved the dentist neighbor who always gave a toothbrush. No kid needs a whole pillowcase full of candy, but they have such fun going door to door calling out Trick or Treat Me!

This year there’s a healthy alternative that kids and parents will LOVE. I know how unlikely that sounds but seriously, it’s true. What if you could buy a product that is healthy, environmentallyfriendly and earth friendly? It sounds good to me!

Kids really like chocolate milk, right? My kids could never get enough and now you can buy healthy chocolate milk, with no preservatives, in a single serve carton which can be stored on the shelf. The cartons are mainly made from paper, a renewable resource that can be replenished – plus, they have a low carbon footprint and are recyclable. This sounds ideal to me and is a product I’m sure Mom’s and Dad’s will be happy to see come home in the Twick or Tweet Me bags!
