Spooky season is upon us! And while this year may look a little different, you can still keep the Halloween spirit alive with your most spooktacular costumes and haunting home décor! Take some of the horror out of Halloween and give it a healthy twist with plant-based treats for your little ghosts and goblins.
A Spider-licious Snack
Craft these fruit-filled spiders for a haunting fruit snack – or a creepy crawly decoration!
What you need
- Wooden kebab sticks
- Plastic googly eyes
- 1 dark plum
- Purple grapes or blueberries
- Nut butter
Directions
- Use Thieves® Fruit & Veggie Soak to clean fruit before getting started.
- Gather 16 equally sized wooden kebab sticks. Break them into 4-inch sections.
- Skewer grapes (or blueberries) on eight of the sticks so that the fruit touches, leaving one skewer end bare to poke into the plum.
- Repeat on the other kebab sticks, inserting the exposed, pointy ends into the joints of the previous set of fruit-covered sticks at an angle (this will create the legs).
- Once connected, poke the legs into the plum, with four legs on each side.
- Gather two googly eyes and attach them to front of plum with your choice of nut butter.
Ogre’s Teeth
A delicious and healthy snack you can sink your teeth into!
What you need
- 1 apple
- Smooth nut butter
- Yogurt raisin balls
This will yield three sets of teeth.
Directions
- Use Thieves® Fruit & Veggie Soak to clean fruit before getting started.
- Halve and core the apple and cut into ½-inch slices.
- Take the two slices and spread nut butter on one side of the apple flesh. Be generous with the nut butter – the messier the better!
- On one apple slice, line yogurt raisins around the outside edge.
- Place the other apple slice on top, peel facing out and nut-butter side angled so that it looks like a mouth.
- If you choose, spritz with diluted lemon juice to prevent the apple from browning.
Plus Oil Potion
Treat your family and friends to a warm and spicy essential-oil infused potion!
What you need
- 4 cups fresh apple cider
- 1 orange, unpeeled and cut into slices
- 3 drops Lemon+
- 1 drop Cinnamon Bark+
- 1 drop Ginger+
- Cinnamon sticks, for serving
Directions
- Combine apple cider, orange slices and Plus oils in a large pot and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or until it’s reached your desired heat.
- Remove orange slices from the pot.
- Serve warm and add 1–2 cinnamon sticks to each cup.
