The air is getting a little less humid, pumpkins are appearing on porches, and the magic of October is officially here! This time of year is all about family fun, from local fall festivals and corn mazes to Halloween festivities. But with all the seasonal treats and packed schedules, it can feel tricky to keep your health and fitness on track.

At Muscle Farm, we believe the key to a healthy and happy fall is balance, not restriction. Instead of trying to avoid every piece of candy, focus on smart, proactive choices that fuel your body and your family. We've found that one of the best ways to do this is with a delicious, protein-packed recipe that satisfies those seasonal cravings without the sugar crash.

A Healthy Treat to Counteract the Candy: No-Bake Pumpkin Protein Balls

This is a perfect snack for both kids and adults—easy to make, easy to grab, and a fantastic source of energy!

Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy!
