Healthy Easter Ideas

Well with Easter just around the corner I have been thinking, how can I make it healthy ? But still make it fun for the kids. So I thought I would share my healthy plans for Easter.






The Easter egg hunt!
Instead of just hiding eggs why not add some small inexpensive gifts.

 ~ crayons or pencils wrapped together and decorated with the little craft chickens found in most craft shops and discount shops.


  ~ matchbox cars or hair-clips / play jewelry wrapped in crape paper decorated with Easter stickers.


  ~ small dragon fruit. My kids love dragon fruit and get so excited to get them. They are colourful yummy and super good for you .


  ~ And of course a few a few little Easter eggs. Why not make your own below id the recipes of the eggs I am making.


 ~ Hide crafts supplies that the family can make together on Easter afternoon




Also if you give gifts at Easter. Why not give Easter themed toys or books.  


Or why not Make some gifts.
  I though these chickens are super cute. You  could just do the colour eggs but I am thinking of making play dough wrapping them in cling crap 
HERE are the directions 


Raw Creamy Easter Eggs Recipe source 

Gooey Caramel Cream

• 1 1/2 cups cashews
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbl honey
• 2 tbl coconut oil, warmed to liquefy
• 1/2 cup water
• Himalayan Salt

Chocolate

• 1/2 cup cacao butter,gratted
• 2 tbl carob powder
• 1 tbl cacao powder
• 1 tbl lucuma (omit this if you don’t have it)
• 1 tbl honey
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Make the caramel cream first by combining all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. The smoothness of the mixture will depend on the strength of your machine.

Then make the chocolate by combining all ingredients in a food processor or simply stir in a bowl with a whisk or fork ensuring any lumps are broken down until smooth. Pour the chocolate into each egg mould so half is filled. Then spoon some caramel cream into the mould – be careful not to add too much as you want it to be encased in chocolate. Then pour over some more chocolate so there is no trace of the filling. Set in the fridge or freezer to set.

I used half egg moulds but you could do this with any large mould or sturdy cupcake case.

I hope this inspires you to have a healthy Easter
