Healthy Easter Hacks

Easter, like any holiday, cannot be properly celebrated without sweet treats. Unfortunately, many store-bought Easter sweets and bunnies we might have grown up with are just crazy high in fat and sugar. I have been digging around to find some healthy Easter chocolate swap inspo – these are my fav…

  1. Easter Egg Lunch Box

I am absolutely loving this idea from @kailochic  https://akailochiclife.com/2012/03/easter-egg-lunc.html the Easter Egg lunchbox! Perfect for the little ones keeping Easter fun, healthy and interesting. These are filled with baby carrots, cucumber, broccoli little turkey sandwiches, cheese, raisins, crackers, puff cereal, grape tomatoes, and a little dessert rice krispie treat egg. All the eggs could close and when in an egg carton are perfectly portable for school. These are perfect for creating your own version for snacks you or your little one love and heading out for a picnic or an Easter Egg Hunt in the garden!

  1. Lemon White choc rice crispy bars http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/lemon-white-chocolate-bars

Everyone loves a marshmallow peep but with 30g of sugar a time it’s not something we should be encouraging! These crispy lemon bars are equally as delicious but nowhere near as bad for you an absolute favourite not only for the kids but the adults to!
