Eating Healthy Can Be Fun!

Junk food is everywhere. On halloween, in the grocery store, at bake sales, and more! And though we may love it's delicious taste, we don't always love the effects it has on our bodies. It's hard to stop yourself from eating cookies, brownies, chocolates, and other sweets and unhealthy food. They taste so good, but even ignoring major or long term effects, they can be problematic. Eating too much can make you have stomach aches, and bloating, which are not fun. But, fear not, because eating sugar and junk food in moderation is okay! We're not saying to get rid of it altogether, but to not eat it in such large quantities and so often. Down below are some recipes to replace the unhealthy treats we know and love, that still taste delicious and will satisfy your sweet tooth. Be active, be healthy, and have fun!
