6 Eggs-ellent Easter Ideas

Feasting on Easter can feel worrisome when you're trying to eat healthy foods. Here are six helpful resources recommended by a nutrition expert for navigating holiday eating.



Easter is literally 0.27% of the year -- so it's important to remember that it's okay to eat the Reese's eggs. It's also okay for your kids to eat candy. Remember, it's what you do most of the time (the healthy habits you keep daily) that make the difference.


If you do choose to turn Easter a bit healthier this year, that's okay, too! The "right" way to eat is different for everyone. Holidays can be enjoyable whatever you choose to put on the table.


Read on for six "eggs-ellent" resources for figuring out Easter festivities and food.


1. Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is an excellent way to sneak some seasonal veggies in. My carrot cake balls are gluten and dairy free, and there is even a no sugar added option.


2. Cookie Cutters

Egg, bunny, or other Easter-themed cookie cutters can turn virtually any dish a bit more festive. My no added sugar cookies with superfruit frosting are dairy and gluten free without lacking in flavor.


3. Planning the Right Portions
